Will you good people kindly get the R1S manual online for us to download.

Can't be too hard since the R1T manual has been out nearly a year and the R1s shares so many common features.

You're either already delivering at least the LE R1S or are, or soon will be, delivering the earliest releases of the R1S Adventure. Surely you're not handing owners a car without an owner's manual.

Candidly, those of us in que for the R1S hang on everything you can give us. If I can't yet have my R1S, at least give me the means of studying up on the make.

So give . . . said your ardent supporter and de facto salesman.

None yet.

  • Includes a more detailed descriptions of stability settings and a chart showing the options available for drive modes.
  • Sport Launch mode dropped from ride height chart though I never saw that mode available anyway.
  • Dropped the specific speeds cited for auto ride height lowering.
  • Note indicating that adaptive cruise control may reduce speed when cornering which I have observed.
  • More warnings added about adaptive cruise control.
  • Now includes instructions on removing underside body panels to expose frame rails for when not using the Rivian supplied jack to lift the vehicle.

I also compared the new R1S manual to the previous one and didn't see anything R1S specific updated.

I did miss a change: There are now 3 places in the document that indicate to "Only use Rivian-supplied paint protective film (PPF)." These are in the context of keeping sensors clear though I'm not sure where one gets this Rivian-suppied PPF.

I was wondering the same. My guess is to have the capacity to be winch-ready. There's no alternator (in an ICE, you'd be idling the engine when winching), and it's unlikely the DC-DC converter is a suitable replacement for one for that kind of a load.
The two 24v batteries power the computer ("brains"), lights, accessories, etc. Those of us with older Launch editions who had their R1T completely die found this out the hard way. These are the core of the entire EV.

There are no 24V batteries in these vehicles. They're 12V, and the newer vehicles only have one with an additional capacitor. This thread was over a year old at this point and is now out of date.
