This is interesting - thank you to the original post for starting this discussion.
I've got a reservation for a R1T but am thinking about switching to an R1S because I want more interior space in the back for my big mutt and other gear that I don't want to carry in the frunk or the open air of...
Hi Mark - I started this post a couple of months ago not so much about the loss of/size of storage space under the rear seats, but rather about the design of the rear seats that shows them folding up in a way that doesn't leave a flat floor space exposed. (Post #19 above has photos.) Even if...
Hi all,
The question about how we plan to use the cargo area of these vehicles prompted a thread about the R1T titled Rear Seat - cargo space/flat floor in the future?
In that thread a few of us have talked about the missed opportunity of having a much larger interior cargo space in the R1T if...
Let's hope that Rivian designers are reading this forum and will consider a design change soon to offer way more interior cargo space by reconfiguring the rear seats. I haven't yet heard a good argument for the current design - does anyone have one to suggest?
For a company with an origin...
If the rear seat bottoms can be detached the platform is a good solution (although not sure how it could fit in the gear tunnel unless it folded). Sign me up if you design one!
Do you have any photos/sketches of what that platform would look like? I'm planning to order the longest-capacity battery and didn't realize that it would affect the rear cabin space. (Am admitting my naivete about this - am a new member of the forum and slowly uncovering lots of details that I...
These photos are great, Manuel, and show that the hinges on the seats changed (did you take the photo of the blue truck earlier than the other photo?). If those hinges are designed to detach so that the seat bottom can be removed (and maybe stowed in the gear tunnel?), at least that might allow...
Oh geesh - I didn't intend for us to go down a path of measuring each other for how we transport our dogs.
I just wish that Rivian would have designed the R1T rear seats to allow for a lot more cargo space by exposing a flat floor in the rear cab. The Rivian staff I spoke to in April 2019 at...
It seems a little odd that Rivian used marketing images of the R1T with a bigger breed dog sitting on the fold down door for the gear tunnel when that same dog seems a bit too big to be harnessed in while sitting safely on the back seats for the drive to that photo shoot ....
Hi all,
At the NY auto show (April 2019) I asked several Rivian folks about the rear seat design before I paid my deposit, hoping that they could have the rear seats fold up toward the back to expose a flat floor in the back seat area (similar to the Honda Ridgeline). Staff - including one of...
Hi Jacob and all,
I join you in wishing for this: "Fold up rear seats or at least access to a flat floor in the cab."

Hi - first, THANK YOU for this excellent research and your kindness in sharing with all of us.
My order number is 10,400, confirmed by email on April 25, 2019, at 5:35 pm. I followed your calculations and reduced that number by 1,000 to arrive at the approximate place in line of 9,400th, and my...
