After 1224 days from placing my R1S reservation on 11/27/2018, I spoke to my Guide today, 4/4/2022. Lovely gent, and it was great to get to learn more about his journey before coming to Rivian.

I had a few questions that I had prepared beforehand about seat and HVAC function for the second and third row, and we went though each one of them. Most could not be answered as the owners manual is yet to be released. Once the manual is ready, he will forward. The compact spare is not a matched rim to the car and it inflates to full size. Accessories will be shipped to my house a week or two after delivery.

We reviewed my configuration, once in agreement we locked it in (LE R1S LG, BM, 20’ A/T dark). There was no delivery estimate beyond my March/April window. Now that my order is locked, next update I will get about delivery estimates will be once factory gate happens (the car is built and matched to my order). Then it is transported to SoCal and inspected. Once these steps are complete, I’ll get a VIN and the 8 steps to complete documents and prepare for delivery.

I was hopeful to get an updated delivery window estimate today. But we’re locked and on our way to taking delivery of our R1S s00n...

Thanks for the details! Helpful to level set expectations on the delivery window.

Full height for the 34" off-road tires, or full size for the 33" tall other tires? I'm still curious if they'll have two different mini-spares.

Not sure. Doubtful we will know before delivery. But I’ll see.

I had asked CS a while back about the size of the spare for the R1S. Here's what they said: "Regarding the compact spare, the wheel size is standard, no matter your wheel configuration. More than anything, it’s designed to be used temporarily until you can get a proper wheel replacement. "

I hope the first R1S people are nice enough to answer some questions. Aside from if you can fit a 4x8 sheet in there, I love to know if you can sit in it in the rain like this and not get wet? And can you drive like this or just with tail gate down:

Any word on how spare tire stores away. Is there under compartment below floor behind 3rd row???

Can't wait to see a real R1S in LG.

+1 on the R1S excitement hype train! Maybe a few deliveries this month along with the owner’s guide and maybe some R1S reviews by early May? Here’s to hoping.

Now, is TT just me or does that rear hatch look a little short? I was expecting a more cavernous opening. Maybe these kids are actually incredibly tall and there’s trickery going on with the camera lense.

I think it is a bit taller inside but 3" shorter than a 5 seater would be.

My big question on this is that if it says on the tire what the speed limit or distance you can drive on it. CS told me there is no limit and you can use it like regular tires. I have hard time believing that. This is a similar one in VW Touareg:
