- 2023 Rivian R1S
So we knew there wouldn't be a "Max Pack" option for R1S, are you suggesting that 316 mi EPA range is the best we will get for R1S until new battery tech becomes available (likely many years down the road)?They said due to the 3rd row seating. They would have to remove that in order to have the extra large pack thus removing some utility of the vehicle which they felt was not worth it. They would rather explore different battery technologies in the future that are more efficient and use them in the R1S.
And based on that comment regarding utility, I'm surprised they haven't also killed the 5 seat version altogether.
