You need to call 855-RIVIAN5 to order. The list price is $778 but they will price match to $450 for pre-March 1st preorders. I had switched my pre-order from an R1T to an R1S but that was not flagged in their system.

It's only available with mobile service installation with a variable fee. My total cost with tax and mobile service was around $490. I was able to get an appointment about 2 weeks from now.

Rivian R1T R1S R1S compact spare now available for order. 1700523155777

I haven't paid much attention until now, but can people comment on how much storage is left when this is installed? I have become addicted to keeping the mobile charger.qnd an extension cord in the well.

Thanks for posting this because saw that the spare was FINALLY available, but my eyes popped out of their sockets after I saw that listed price. Also sucks because I just had mobile service today. I would've postponed it so that I get my spare brought to me and 'installed'. Welp...I'll be calling them tomorrow to order!

There is still a bit of room in there to store items. I think you would be fine.

And where do you put the flat / damaged full size wheel you removed?

Won't it fit in the cargo area with the third row folded down?

Cool - and where are you going to put the people and gear that were in the cargo and third row? :)

I'm kidding - not kidding. I suggest folks really think this compact spare thing through before committing. Remember, you're going to need pucks too. Personally, I went the route of a tire repair kit (and I do have pucks). I just don't see this compact spare being a workable solution compared to alternatives.

The spare comes with the tire change kit, you do not need anything else.

Will RIvian sell me a compact spare before I take delivery of my R1S? My original configuration included a factory-installed compact spare. Then Rivian took that away. Then Rivian reintroduced factory-installed spares, but only with 20" wheels as part of the all-terrain upgrade. Still, I'd like to have a spare tire in the vehicle when I drive home after taking factory delivery (which could happen any year now).

If Rivian has to install a bracket in the tire well, do you suppose that could be done before I take delivery of my S? Or will Rivian insist on making this more difficult?

I see that the Gear Shop description now lists the wheel material as STEEL. Previously, the material was listed as ALUMINUM (chuckle).

We also have a tire repair kit but those don't work in all situations. The spare tire comes with a puck and jack.

If the kit doesn't work, your only alternative without a spare is to wait with your 5 passengers and truck full of gear until roadside service shows up.

I think someone else said that you can order the spare when delivery is imminent. In that case they could probably install it at the service center prior to delivery.

I will be ordering first thing in the morning as I had it added at time of configuration until Rivian removed it along with other accessories from my build.
