40% hit is crazy high IMO.
Maybe if you are parking outside in extreme cold and only driving a few miles each time you jump in.
120mi a day is plenty fine and realistically if parked in a garage and charging every night then the battery will be a bit warmer and your first leg of the commute...
Family of 7 here, and we use the 3rd row daily—mostly with our 6- and 9-year-olds. I can understand the complaint if adults are constantly using the 3rd row, but our kids have never had issues getting back there or with the space. Even our older kids (11 and 13) can easily slide the 2nd row...
Sounds like many of you most vocal on here are leaning toward super vibrant colors, which I totally respect.
Personally, I’ve always felt that vibrant colors look better balanced on the R1T than the R1S. R1T in Rivian Blue, chef’s kiss. R1S in Rivian Blue? Meh.

I'm going to take that as a serious question, although it seems silly/obvious to me.
Yes, to your second question. We've got 7 in our family, so third row is for passengers.
We also have a minivan but much prefer the comfort (aside from getting in and out) that the R1S provides for everyone...
" In our view, we don't have enough choice of electric vehicles in that segment (5-seat SUV)"
I absolutely agree with this statement in the context of mid-size SUV's.
Most of the list from evtable that you linked are nothing but a crossover at best regardless of trim.
