R1T / R1S difference?

[StuGoss]

From the backseats to the front of the vehicle, what are the major differences between the R1T and the R1S?

The R1s has two more seats and a trunk.

S has rear wiper controls on left stalk.

2nd row differences - T has under seat storage. S has sliding seats for 3rd row access.

R1T has a gear tunnel. You should go to Rivian.com and check them out.

So they haven't started Gen 2 R1T production yet.
I ask because I'm wondering how much different the manufacturing must be to begin production.
Doesn't sound like much since "from the backseats to the front" it is about the same.
Thanks!

Got it. I think visually you're right , but remember the wheelbase/length difference is about a foot longer for R1T versus R1S. I think that would require different core structures maybe with the same trims?

I think the question could be asked a bit clearer .... but if the question is specific to the interior features between the front and back seats of the cabin there is almost no difference, other than gear tunnel and speaker/subwoofer placement. If the question is really asking why Gen2 R1S is being built but R1T is not, there's a huge difference on the assembly line, and R1S demand is much highr that R1T so it makes sense to first focus on Gen2 R1S production first.

R1S: fits more bodies inside the cab
R1T: fits more bodies outside the cab

Status of bodies cannot be confirmed at this time
