I know this may be a niche thing, but I was going back over some pictures and questions I had from earlier, and remembered seeing pictures of the roof on the R1S, and seeing what looked like 3 crossbar mounting locations (front/middle/rear). Had a quick chat with CS, and they confirmed that there is indeed three mounting points. And that Rivian only offers the corssbars in pairs.
Which just left some questions in my head. Is there any use case for having a third rail? Is anyone considering utilizing this? Or even just using the Middle/rear mounts versus the front/middle? She did mention that additional gear will be available in the future, but couldn't offer any more specifics than that. For reference, all the configurator pictures show the front/middle mount locations being used. The rear one is located about where I've drawn it (with my expert skills) below. I know it's really not a big deal with all the AMAZING news today, but would love some thoughts on this.
