R1S: Access to third row with car seats installed in second. If the seats are the fold and tumble kind instead of a tip and slide, it will be a deal breaker for me. Fingers crossed the chat agents who said the seats were 40-degree tip and slide had the right information. I am also hoping the...

Hum, that picture sure doesn’t say much. It could be a fold and tumble system halfway through the motion or an Expedition style car seat safe tilt and slide that is not in entry mode but fold down for cargo mode. CS reps have said seats fold 'close to flat' and one said they do offer tilt and...

Yup, agreed. My wife got this answer from Rivian CS Rep Becka via e-mail on October 30th after asking if the 3rd row will be accessible with 3 car seats in the 2nd: “he (an engineer she spoke to) confirmed there is a 40-degree tilt and slide feature on the second-row seats!” I have been...

Nice. I wonder if Pirelli will make winters in that size by 2022. Probably unlikely other manufacturers will make them for just one vehicle, especially for the Launch edition timeframe. One of the reasons I went for the 22s was that winters are already available in that size…

Speaking of weird possible CGI inaccuracies: What's with the 4 seatbelts in the 3rd row? And yes, a 40/20/40 second row with a removable middle would be a great surprise... But a tilt feature would allow even better access IMO

I read before that some makers count differently, but I think the SAE standard for SUV trunk space is to the top of the seat back – cargo over that would be a projectile danger/visibility issue. You are right that the pictures make it look larger and that 7.1 cubic feet seems wrong: An example...

Just got off the chat with a Rivian CS rep, asked about the interior dimensions: -Hip room, leg room etc: To be revealed. -Q: Where is that 5 cubic feet rear bin? A: Under the rear cargo area. There will also be storage under the second-row seats. -Q: What is the cargo area size behind the...

Happy with the update, but still a few questions in my case: -60/40 second row seat: Would have preferred 35/30/35. Still no confirmation (I had received a positive answer a while back via e-mail) that the seats will tilt with a car seat attached – a huge deal for people with large families...

I kinda wish the summer Zero or Verde had been mentioned as OEM options being worked on. In places with mandatory winter tires like where I live, performance vehicles being delivered with all/4 season tires is, IMO, an annoyance: I don’t need the compromise in the middle of summer. Probably the...

Some additional information on the OEM tires here: https://www.the360mag.com/pirelli-tires/ I don't know this site and no sources are provided, but the writing seems to be mostly from some corporate news release or copied from some trade site behind a pay wall.

I am really hoping full interior measurements like hip room and opening sizes (not to mention seating configurations for each row and the access mechanism for the third row) will be revealed once the configurator goes online. Dog cages, children car seats, boosters – for me, dimensions and...

My understanding is that the mandate is for a minimum of 3 top tethers, but only 2 sets of bottom anchors. Plenty of cars out there have the center position share a bottom anchor with one of the sides, or have no center anchors at all. Considering the size of the R1S, hopefully Rivian will...

As a father with 3 young kids planning on choosing the 135 kWh version, I am hoping to be able to put my 2 youngest in 5 point seats in the middle row and my eldest in a full back booster in the third row. I would keep the other 3rd row seat down for cargo. This could only work if the second row...

I started shopping for EVSEs as a way to soothe myself from the Rivian information trickle :) I already have a NEMA 6-50 plug in my garage on a 50amp circuit. I understand a plug-in charger will limit me to 9.6kW: I am thinking I would upgrade to hardwired to reach the Rivian’s 11kW maximum if...

I agree, it would be nice for the reservation holders to get something this year: Colors, seat options…anything. Where was it officially said the configurator was only coming on line Q2 2020, by representatives at events? On December 4th 2018 the Rivian Twitter account had said it would be ‘late...

Hey salty! Funny, I am ex CAF as well, retired after 20 last year to take care of my 3 young children for a few years. Gave my deposit for an R1S last feb to hopefully replace my minivan soon...

Montrealer here: Gave a deposit for an R1S on Feb 3rd.
