I have owned two vehicles that were not designed to carry a spare tire. The recommended onboard equipment for these vehicles included a can of flat repair. This approach is not for everyone because circumstances are different; nearness of assistance, terrain, and tolerance for inconvenience. However, I had no issues and little concern. I do carry a full size spare on my Jeep Wangler because a busted tire 50 miles up the trail is a real problem.

From @EyeOnRivian in another thread:

"4) According to the R1S team lead I spoke to at the Normal event he said the full size spare will be standard on the R1S. He also chuckled and said "how can you have an outdoor adventure without a full size spare", hence his motivation to squeeze one in."

Forgive me for being new, but where is it stated that the 3rd row can't be had with the largest battery pack?

It's been noted publicly on multiple occasions & I believ it's even on their website.

Go to the Rivian website and select the R1S. Look for the tab "Explore Utility." There you will find a picture of the third row. It has this caption:

"THIRD ROW: An extra row of seating that folds flat for maximum storage. Please note, this option is not available with our 180 kWh battery pack."

3rd row info is also on the FAQ page:
What are the 3rd-row options for the R1S?

If you choose the 105 kWh or 135 kWh battery pack, you’ll have the option to configure your vehicle with 3rd-row seating (allowing for 7 adventurous passengers) or without a 3rd-row (allowing for extra storage). If you choose the 180 kWh pack, 3rd-row seating is not available.
