Those shots of the white R1S and (looks like) 22 wheels has me doubting my current White + 20 wheel combo.

Whats the point of bragging it can take 5 car seats when there is no car seat safe tilt? No video showing if its possible to access third row by just sliding second row forward…

Good thing I had very low expectations for this post.

Disappointing. They didn't give cargo area dimensions which has been a big ask since day 1.

Rivian - PLEASE give us the width dimensions for both the gate opening and the narrowest part of the interior as well as the length with seats folded. We've seen different numbers from different sources.


Honestly I didn't learn anything new from this "big release" (ok fine, dual motor specs, but I don't really care about those specs).

EDIT: never mind, tried in incognito and it loads fully.

Is all the content loading for everyone? I see a bunch of gaps and broken placeholders:

Climate for the second and third rows of the R1S can be controlled on the display mounted in front of the second row's middle seat.

That strongly implies three or four zone climate. Which is new, or at least an improvement over the R1T's dual zone climate.

I still don’t know if two people can sleep in it.

kind of bummed a sizing up video doesn’t give dimensions with different seat configurations.

Oh well, off to pester my guide.

Noticed that only the front seats are heated (cooled is trim dependent) Second and third row however are neither regardless of trim

I also want more on 3rd row access. Have you seen this? Look at the very end. Minimally helpful but the seat is sliding forward.

That's disappointing and surprising for an EV.

I'd pump the brakes given that the manual states otherwise. The 2nd row climate can be controlled in the R1T, it just doesn't include temperature...

Rear Seats are heated only.

Wonder how the dogs got in the back. That lift gate looks pretty tall relative to the ground for even a 45-60 lb dog.
