Rivian R1S
I was finally able to find Rivian's VIN deciphering document in the NHTSA database. This all but confirms the initial deliveries will be sold as 2022 model year, and includes some other interesting information. Updated 8/27/21 to include R1S.

Now can you get on epa.gov or fueleconomy.gov and get those numbers? My site: searches are falling flat

Now that IS interesting.
Yep, caught my eye too. Must either be a hedge, or a sign of things to come for lower-priced models.

Seems odd to me that the battery size pack info isn't included in the VIN. What a pain in the ass to confirm as part of buying used...

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they updated drivetrain info (6th character) to include battery size.

Since this VIN is specific to the truck, I immediately think back to that smaller cab version we saw doing winter testing. Small cab, 2 motors, cheap and fast.

I'm thinking it might be for their R2R as its been coined. A smaller "rally" type car wouldn't need the added motors to achieve the same power to weight ratio. And it frees up space for an extra cooler or duffel bag in the Ultimate Lightbar Super Adventure Power Frunk

That would have a different letter in position 4 of the VIN. Seems odd to disclose the 2 motor VIN indicator with only the R1T indicator (not even R1S) unless it applied to the R1T.
