I trust everyone--just not the inside them...

Here's a peak into the back of a production R1S.

I would hope it's just a typo for the manual, afaik you can select heated seats in the back making the screen useable.

The screen is usable, and you can set seat heaters. There just aren't that many features to operate...

So you can set the heaters but it only displays the rear temperatures?

This photo may also answer a few other questions. Seems clear the 40/20/40 split of the second row has remained, and that there is an ability to adjust legroom of the second row. The passenger side seat seems to be set further back than the center and driver side. This is all really positive—thanks!

Yep.

Yep.

I'd assume if the whole thing is touchscreen you could control temps. Maybe future update.

Not a big deal either way IMHO.

Finally...things are moving

I guess employee deliveries will start in the next six months.

I kid... I kid.

Still funny....because it's true

Yah. My Defender has almost too mamy climate controls. Inevitably passengers start cancelling out each other’s temperatures, the fans are blasting while the manual vents are being shut tight…then when I’m alone in the truck the 2nd and 3rd row fans have been left on and I have to spend a few quality minutes with the UI shutting it all down ?

I'm sorry...why is this bad news/what were you hoping for? Seems aligned with what most SUVs offer (4 cupholders, bottle holders in each door, and two bottle holders molded into the sides of the 3rd row).

Time to hydrate

Since the backseat temp setting is the same as the front, it locks them out from adjusting. Making the temperatures different would require an entirely different design of the HVAC.

Me: So, exactly the same as it’s been for months and nobody cared or noticed. Roger that.

Just a venting session....that's all

I hope this means a retractable cargo cover is include or available. I’m assuming the multiple holes are for that in either of 2 positions: behind either the second or third row depending upon which seats are raised.

It would seem odd to add the information to the display and I'm sure different air can be routed to other areas. Genuinely think it's something coming soon but could be wrong.

I would advocate against that in its current 2-zone state. Even though I could, I wouldn't want to have to lock out the rear screen to keep my kids from changing my HVAC temp from the rear while I'm driving...
