[R1Sky Business]

Not so much "powered" as released.

Much more reliable

If only he had shown what it looks like with a 4x8 sheet of plywood he would have answered nearly all of my trunk related questions.

Liking the 2-piece tailgate.

Most minivans and medium SUVs are just one-piecers.

How does a trailer hitch bike rack work if the back hatch is folded down???

Probably similar to other vehicles (X5/M) which has the same thing. Some hitches work, some don't. Or you can put an extension on.

Does the hatch close with the button? Do the seats fold back up with a button?

Yes & No

That Red Canyon looks so nice I’m debating changing my El Cap.

Finally a little R1S content!

Have you seen El Cap in person? It is really nice.

This renews my excitement. The fold flat seats was a HUGE issue for me.

Now, can they PLEASE give internal measurements of it with the seats folded down. I have some designing to do for a modular bed.

That load floor is pretty high, and the vertical dimension to the ceiling is smaller than I thought. No way RJ could sit upright sitting on the floor. Looks like it's not going to be as good for camping as I had imagined.

I haven’t. I’ve only seen Rivian Blue, White, Launch Green.

Ultimately I’ll probably stick with El Cap, but that Red Canyon does turn my head.

Quite limited vertical height in the back... will not be that great for camping among other things.

This is how you can batch orders.

Post a marketing video with a drool worthy color.....

"Your configuration has been updated"

This was GREAT.

Was it just me, or did it seem like they attempted several times to touch a button on the lift gate (upper part) and it did NOT close as they were expecting?

To be fair, it looked like she was just "fidgeting" tapping the button - not actually pressing it. I think they should have shown the top portion going up and down automatically, but issues with that may be some of the reason behind employee beta testing and their relative silence about releasing videos/explainers on the R1S in general.

Yeah, the head room, or lack thereof, is going to be an issue for me. I need to be able to mount my MTB in there. Not sure it that will be possible, since they eliminated the 5-seat configuration. Who knows? Maybe they will bring the 5-seater back. Good luck.

I did some measuring back in Feb 2020 when they brought an R1S to Austin. It was pre-production but I assume the sheet metal is the same or close. The top line was 47 inches and the bottom line 43 inches. We moved to the R1T for the bed width.

And Range Rover. And BMW X5, at least my 2011 did, I don’t know if they still do
