My 1 wk old R1S has one magnet & no 12v frunk outlet.

My tb delivered R1S is from January, I think, so hoping I get one. Would be great to keep boots warm on the way to the slopes.

Gear tunnel is best for boots. Turn on Boot heater from the main screen 30 minutes before arrival..

The bifurcation of the resale market between plug/no plug will be brutal.

I predict we max pack owners will get the frunk plug in addition to a properly thermally regulated battery. Perhaps even free candy.

Hi All. I took delivery of my 2023 R1S Adventure Package [4xxx VIN] on Monday [02-13-2023] in Brooklyn NY and can confirm I also have the 12v in the frunk. After waiting 1239 days it's the least they could do.

well, that's promising, 3 people so far with 12V in the frunk for 2023....

The mystery deepens!

I think this was a supply chain issue like others have said. The real question, and the thing that will undoubtedly [sarcasm implied] open the floodgates for new orders, is whether we will see the return of the wood grain trim on the seat back panel where the hook is....

Dammit! Congratulations, but I want one in my late year 2022!

Me too!

Definitely just a parts shortage issue. Despite what Rivian Comms said and as many here have mentioned, they don't eliminate small features like that unless they just don't have access to them and need to push some trucks.

Next question is can we get a free "upgrade" to the front 12V at the SC?

I just picked up my 2023 mid 18000 vin R1T and to my surprise it has a 12 volt DC outlet in the frunk! I said to the service guy "I thought they removed these months ago?" and he replied "yep, they did. you must have an older build." I pointed out the 2023 on the sticker and the Vin and he repsonded with "oh wow, looks like it's back." While I don't know if mine was a fluke or not, I certainly have it on a 2023 and I'm very happy about it.

Update:

I have confirmed the outlet works. And here is a picture for those with trust issues.

I believe my 2023 has one too. I’ll check when i get home.

Someone can test this by driving their truck into the nearest tree and verifying if their repaired frunk comes with a 12v.
