- R1S Rivian Blue
One of the things I think about the R1S is that there are not enough cupholders, given it is meant for families. So I purchased the under dash tray from BestEVMod that has two cupholders so I have four up front now.
However, for the second row, there are only two in the center armrest. This becomes an issue if there is someone sitting there or if it needs to be put down for pass through skis or other long items.
So borrowing the idea from a Lincoln Navigator which had a fold down dual cupholder from behind the center console. I assume given the camp speaker (which I haven't used yet) it prevented Rivian to put one there.
So I went on a search and found that the Nissan Pathfinder Xterras have a fold now cupholder replacement that can be found on Amazon or eBay. It works pretty well. There is an extra notch that I had to Multitool away, but then after that I put some dual sided Velcro and installed it behind the center console.
I think I it works pretty well and it’s tucked in pretty well. When not in use it can be folded away. Call out to the genius vendor sponsors, if you could come up with something similar tailored for the Rivian I’m sure it would be a great seller. But for now, this would do. Maybe interesting for some of you out there with big families.
They probably could have put one cupholder on each passenger door, but decided to put the elastic thingy, which I suppose could be useful, but I would have preferred they added a couple of cupholders. There definitely would have been enough space.
