2023 Rivian R1S
I've posted this pic before but here's my setup for our R1S. Pics with dog will have to wait as the dog is out of town for about 10 days on a work trip.

Just realized I failed to follow up with a pic of the dog (which has since turned into 2 dogs):

Here is my pup, Wilkins, taking my seat while I filled up his Diggs Enventur inflatable travel cage. He travels everywhere with me and always rides in the cage on the backseat.

I know, I know. Please kindly don't jump on me for it. My beloved Westie and Dandie, small terriers do not travel inside their kennels or strapped down with doggy seatbelts.
I fixed the traveling for them in a very cheap and quite effective way, and let me tell you, it works great; they no doubt love it!
First, I place the back seat dog protector cover that I bought for my previous SUV, with loops that go over the seat headrests to hold it in place.
Next I fold two thick comforters I had lying around and put them on top of each other along the entire backseat. It feels so soft, so comfy that I wish somebody else drove my R1S so that I could lie down and sleep on it back there. My dogs truly love it; sleep most of the time and moving about the back seat bed trading places.
To protect the R1S door panels and part of the door windows, I got two cheap towels and bought cheap suction cups with metal rings attaching them along one edge of the towels, which I use to attach the towels to the doors. They work great. Indeed, I use them on my R1S and my Teslas.
For the finishing touch, I place a small cooler in front of the back seat and behind the console with a pillow on it to make it flush with the air vents. It serves as a bridge for my pups, climbing to the back of the console and looking out the front windshield, then retreat and go back to sleep. And they sure love to place their head or tummy right in front of the nice cool air blowing out behind the console.

Honestly, I rarely ever carry my dogs in either of my vehicles. One, a large Chocolate Lab, just whines and whines and whines. It never stops. The other, a Westie, gets car sick 100% of the time. She's not nearly as big of an issue since my wife can just put her on the floor and let her puke on the all weather floor mats.

I really wish I could get our Lab past his issues. I'd love to take him camping with us.

My dogs go everywhere with me. Two big Bouviers. The problems I had were how to get my older dog in the back. Too high for him to jump in/out. So with the help of the forum, I tried a Twistep. After fighting with it for a week to install, I have given up. The company did not offer to help ship it back after assuring me it would fit. So beware, don't buy from them- the shipping back was $120!! If you must purchase this product, buy it from Amazon where you will have some protection of return shipping. So much for trying to go directly to the company to avoid Amazon.

Forlorn because he dropped his treat between the door and the seat. ?
