I personally think it would be in Rivian's best interest to allow people to request the 180 configuration for the R1S, as it will help them gauge the true demand. If they have hard numbers to work from, they might be able to either prioritize the engineering for it or build a special trade up program around it like you mentioned.Possibly. I guess that really depends on how much has to change versus how long it will take them to complete the redesign.
On that note, with overall length growing slightly (for the 2nd time now) I had initially assumed that might have been related to supporting the 3 row 180. But it appears the wheelbase is unchanged so I'm guessing the extra length is related to front/rear bumper tweaks. Which leaves us to wonder just exactly how they will package the batteries in the 3 row 180.
