Has anyone used a gap-filler on an R1 vehicle? The gap between seat and center console is just big enough to receive items but make it difficult to retrieve them. My R1t currently owns a chunk of ham, a half-eaten mint candy, at least 2 pencils, and my son’s lucky coin. Who knows what else is there.
I will probably have to remove the seats to clean it then maybe put these plebian devices in for future prevention.
I want to know if anyone bought some that fit, didn’t fit, were perfect, etc.

Yeah - bought a cheap set off Amazon a few years ago; generic with a nerf footbal like texture. They have saved more than few items from forever loss.
They are no longer available for sale so I can’t link you to the item - but they are generic seat, gap filler wedges.

Have seen a handful of threads and solutions to this over the years… they’re on here somewhere!

The best part is that when something falls down there, while you're trying to fish it out, there's a 50% chance you'll push it under the console and it disappears forever. I've done this with a few coins and receipts.

I wish Rivian would address this in their next interior update. My Lexus has these inserts built into the seat.

Whoa, as silly as this noodle-pillow thing looks....I gotta say it would serve such a useful purpose in my car. There are definitely a few cheetos and shimp chips down there. The best luck I've had is to use an air blower to blast stuff into the front or back footwell.

Any downsides, and does it come in white?

LOL. I've now bought two things from this thread. The pillow thing to fill the gap AND the grabber.

There is a retrieve option:
If only that worked on the world #1 worst offender - the credit card eater in our Model S:

This still has a Sapphire card, a driver license and a library card.

I have these too (or ones very similar). Work fine. They do save stuff from falling into the abyss of no return.
