Plastic Seat Gap in 2025 Rivian R1S: Wasn't a Factory Error Afterall

Rivian PAAK Tip: What to Do in Poor Cell Service Areas

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

When I first got my R1S, I noticed a gap on the driver's plastic seat. Didn't know why it was there if maybe it was a factory error, and so I called the Rivian service and they informed me that its designed to allow space for the extension of the lumbar support.

I haven't tried it yet but from what I've read, I think it's normal and was also told that it allows for seat articulation. Also, when you change the seat tilt, it widens or closes the gap. I have seen similar on other makes of vehicles too but have never put too much thought into it.
