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.

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.

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.

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?
