First comparison look: Refreshed R1 facelift vs. Pre-Refresh model

[RexRemus]

Nothing stood out with the interior. Except there is a divider on the charging pad, so hopefully a better charging pad.

Figured they'd get the new steering wheels... but at least I don't have to be jealous of that

Are those 115 load index tires? /s

Agreed @FutureTruck. This has been my solution: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1517706423/dual-phone-holder-for-rivian-r1tr1s?ref=share_v4_lx

I could definitely 3D print that at home, thanks for sharing. It doesn’t seem to be an issue of sliding around though, even when parked it’s hard to find a spot on the pad that will charge my 15 Pro Max for more than a few seconds. With no case

New light bar looks much sleeker. Looks like they didn’t change that front plastic piece by the bumper that is impossible to clean and always looks bad with different shades of black. Bummer.

Word! I still hope they give all us original R1 owners that under warranty… I’ve had a third party one since day one.

I am even willing to pay for it.

My charging pad works fine.

What is the secret? BTW- Are you using it for charging ?

Can you share a photo of it if you were able to take one?

Best I can do (thank you FCC)

Sony Xperia 1V. Sits fine in the tray and charges without issues.

I don't see how changing the bumper saved money, they ciuld have just dropped the tow hooks & left as an option.
Looks like only one option for a tow hook that would not look better once installed.
it just lost some Adventure. .

It appears that tow hooks are now optional instead of standard. Choose your own adventure.

I read somewhere (probably on this forum) that they will offer it as a retrofit...of course, it won't be a WARRANTY replacement and we will have to pay full price.

Does the refresh not have fog lights anymore?

 

[Toha]

In one of the articles I’ve read that it might have an improved suspension, that would be a big one for me , but it may or may not be just a rumour.

Is that a physical lock-unlock button in the refreshed exterior door handle?
