Yes! It looked awesome! Tailights did not look any different, but the light bar looked super stylish. Rest of bodywork looked the same

I’m really becoming a fan of the R1S with the Facelift. I still love the pre facelift but it’s the little things that just makes it stand out!

Yes, slimmer while using the same body panels (cost efficiency!). Probably still going to get flashed by dolts thinking you have high beams on.

I already get flashed while driving at night in my HRV lol. It’s crazy how often I do. Once I got flashed by a Semi truck and my whole cabin lit up.

Hmm... 20K and I have never had anyone flash me ... sure your lights are aligned correctly?

Blatant disregard for laws of the road. Will be writing my local senator.

LOL I'm calling BS on this pic.

Can you drop more pics of you have them.

Can you drop more pics of you have them.

Sorry, I didn’t get any more pictures. I was going to, but once I started talking to the employee, he seemed pretty nervous about his personal info leaking out. I didn’t want to affect his job, so I didn’t take anymore after speaking with him.

I did get him to confirm that this was indeed the refresh. He was doing some miles on it from Normal

Yes, they are aligned just fine from the factory. It's all the hypersensitive/neurotic folks who really shouldn't be out driving past a certain time. And it's not a Rivian thing.

I wonder what charging speeds he was getting. Ie faster than 210kw?

Yep, I’ve had multiple vehicles that people would regularly flash me thinking I had my brights on.

The funniest was the BMW i3. Its high beams were physically separate bulbs low on the bumper (which look more like fog lights.) So even if I flashed back, they might just think I was “flashing my fog lights” rather than high beams! (The i3 refresh moved the high beams to be “normal” in the same housing as the regular headlights, doing away with the low-mounted; not even bothering To replace them with fog lights!)

You can take this with a grain of salt, but we were at a pretty similar state of charge and it seemed to be charging about 20 kW higher than my R1T for the 10-15 mins I was there

interesting. the photo of this front light doesnt look like the same light as the photo from OP. wth, they have two refreshes happening? maybe one of those is for a higher (or lower) trim.
