If you remove the 8 bolts holding the forward vertical panel in the bed (the one that says RIVIAN), you'll see some grommets that can be pierced to route a wire into the tunnel:

They've got pink in this picture (credit to photographer here).

Don't forget a dab of silicone after you've adjusted the wire to keep it sealed!

Incredibly easy, and since the power in the gear tunnel is always on, its a great way to keep a cooler on day to day in an R1T! I got an all weather extension cord for the 12V and cut the wire, ran it through the gromet rubber, reconnected it with wire nuts and several layers of electrical tape within the tunnel to prevent disconnection with accidental tension, and ran it between the cover and the bed liner against the cab. Awesome easy mod!
