    Pros & Cons

    The Rivian R1S places climate controls, vent direction, mirror adjustment, and many vehicle settings inside the screen, which some reviewers and owners find less convenient.
    The Rivian R1S has good cargo flexibility, but raising the third-row seats from the cargo area can feel awkward because it lacks a simple power or pull-strap solution.
    Some Rivian R1S owners report software bugs, infotainment issues, alignment concerns, wind noise, and longer service-center wait times.
    The Rivian R1S Level 3 charging time ranges from 30 to 42 minutes, while Level 2 charging can take 9 hours 30 minutes to 15 hours, depending on battery size.
