the R1S is awesome, and if I had the bucks, I'd go with the Rivian-Developed Enduro dual motor unit they now have available in the R1S instead of the quad motor. The quad motor set up in the R1S is actually a Bosch unit that Rivian uses, but as other reviewers have noted, although it is a good unit, the Enduro dual motor configuration, although slightly down on power, offers a number of design advantages but still has plenty of performance. Excellent job, Rivian--a well thought out vehicle!

you didn't mentioned how the 3rd row sit fit for leg rooms despite it's below average leg rooms space like you compared to it's about the same as Highlander. For me, the highlander 3rd row is cramp and do not fit even shorter adult. For R1S, the 3rd row is fine for adult even it's not that high of the ground, as you and put your foot and legs pretty all the way underneath the 2nd row so it's not cramped at all, not sure if you find the same.

Not only the child seat in the middle is annoying but the kid will destroy the center screen with the feet
I expect the EV9 to be cheaper with more comfort options.
All Rivian Vehicles are very pricey today. And the repair cost is high.
Even though it s more powerful, the Kia makes more sense for a family.
Looking forward to see your Kia EV9 full review

Pricy, but cool. Unless your gonna go off road and camp or need the latest and greatest, I like the KIA EV9 better. Seems better suited for families. More practical. I looked at it at my local dealer and was impressed.
Also why do you have a luggage works bag Alex? Are you also a pilot? I rarely see those outside of aviation.

I have 3 kids under 5. My R1S set up is 2 car seats in the 3rd row and the baby car seat in the 2nd row behind the front passenger seat. The Left side of the second row can then be permanently folded down making it easy for kids to crawl in and out of their car seats.

As nice as R1S is, is it really an option in front of the Model X given it's new 80K price point and the Tesla charging network? If going off-road is a massive part of your lifestyle, maybe. But for everyone else, Model X might be the obvious choice!

Thanks, Alex, for a very helpful review. I'm projected to take delivery of my R1S in the first quarter of next year. We're purchasing it, rather than a five-passenger SUV, to accommodate grandchildren. Looks like the vehicle will work out great.

I'm interested in what they come up with for the R2S. I'm hoping for something somewhat like a bronco sport design. maybe plus 6 inches in length.

It is funny how people contort themselves in these kinds of vehicles to get in the third-row seat while pretending that vans don't exits.

I would love an R1S. Am seeing more and more in the neighborhood. They look great and fit my needs perfectly. I just need 98, 800 to pay for it

I do want the R1S. I really wanted it with just 2 rows. The two motor option. That and the R1T are my two favorite EVS so far.
