Specs chart comparing the R1T and R1S:

Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
The batteries will be assembled into modules of 15 kWh each. Each Rivian will have 7, 9, or 12 modules depending on the battery option ordered. Pictures I have seen indicate the modules will lie between the ladder rails of the chassis. I suspect the third row is eliminated with the 180 kWh pack because the 3 additional modules will occupy the space between rear rails into which the third-row seats would fold down to open up the cargo space. Just guessing, though.Does the 3rd row REALLY take up that much battery space? 100 miles worth?
I think you might be able to derive the range from other data in the spec chart. Overall R1S height of 1820 mm is measured at "curb height". It says "curb mode" ground clearance is 285 mm. "Kneel" ground clearance is 205 mm -- or 80 mm lower than curb clearance. And "offroad" ground clearance is 365 mm -- or 80 mm higher than curb clearance.Can anyone clarify "Overall Height (Curb)" as it relates to vehicles like these with an air suspension? With over 6" of height adjustment on the suspension it seems the height should have a max and min rather than be a fixed height.
Now that would be a sweet feature.Being able to geofence the suspension so it kneels to the lowest setting automatically before pulling into the garage
Don't forget the wheelbase of the R1S is shorter than the R1T, so the rails you mentioned will be shorter as well.The batteries will be assembled into modules of 15 kWh each. Each Rivian will have 7, 9, or 12 modules depending on the battery option ordered. Pictures I have seen indicate the modules will lie between the ladder rails of the chassis. I suspect the third row is eliminated with the 180 kWh pack because the 3 additional modules will occupy the space between rear rails into which the third-row seats would fold down to open up the cargo space.

Great reasoning HMP10, thank you, and great discussion all around.I think you might be able to derive the range from other data in the spec chart. Overall R1S height of 1820 mm is measured at "curb height". It says "curb mode" ground clearance is 285 mm. "Kneel" ground clearance is 205 mm -- or 80 mm lower than curb clearance. And "offroad" ground clearance is 365 mm -- or 80 mm higher than curb clearance.
Thus is would appear that the minimum overall height is 1740 mm (68.5"), and the maximum overall height is 1900 mm (74.8") -- for an adjustment range of 6.3".
You would subtract 5 mm (0.2") from the height figures for the R1T.
