What We Know - Collecting Information Directly From Rivian

[IHScout]

Wheel bolt pattern, from a chat with Justin just now:

> All Rivian vehicles use the same bolt pattern, (5x5.5) and swapping the tires will not be an issue.

That's great news. That is the same pattern as my IH Scout. Thanks

Has anybody asked whether the 180 fold down gate is a potential future option?

 

[jjwolf120]

that is the part that actually secures to to the tire valve stem.

I assume that we will need an adapter if we want to use it on presta valves?

Here's what I learned today about a folding rear floor or lack thereof by email from Brian at R-CS:
"R1S third row seats fold nearly flat, to put things in perspective, it is roughly 90% flat. "

Bolded letters were added by me. So, not flat, not even 97% flat, as someone else in the forum has said. This plus no full size spare, better looking 20" rims, and a few more considerations have pushed me into the R1T camp. Not a bad way to go.

Website says 3°. I believe what is in writing on the website vs the wide array of questionable answers or statements that have been made by Rivian CS.

I think a photo would save Rivian CS reps and those of us considering a need for a flat load floor a ton of time and headache. Why would a photo be difficult to produce?

I want to k ow this too, since the main reasonI would use the compressor is for bikes.

Because they have not yet produced a production spec R1S is my guess. I totally agree that just taking a picture would solve a lot of these questions, but only _IF_ they have fully finalized the R1S interior design, and I’m not convinced they have. Anyone seen a photo of the R1S being assembled on their pilot line yet?

I have presta valves on my bikes also but, frankly, with a schraeder to presta adapter costing about $2.50, this is not at the top of my concerns.

I've thought the same, but they should definitely have a CGI version that they could share, even if no pilot production units have rolled off the line.

I'd like to see stills or an animation of how the 2nd row provides 3rd row access as well.

I was hoping the 3rd row could actually be removeable as well. It would be a great option to store in the garage until needed (save some electrons when not needed) as well.

I'm hoping for a quick disconnect on the end, so I can use it with whatever adapters I already have.

I think the entire rear interior of the R1S top hat is in flux. I think they're still optimizing across max battery capacity, 3rd row usability (ingress/egress/folded away), spare tire storage, etc....

I was told that the 3rd row would be removable with appropriate tools and knowledge. I think skyote was told that it would be easily removable (apologies to @skyote if I've got my references crossed).

So is the power tailgate for the R1T 100% out? Anyone have any information on this?
