R1S Subtrunk Fridge is Amazing

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.

Just last week, I was able to add a subtrunk fridge to my R1S. It works perfectly off 12v as it cools off quick just in time for the farmers market or ice cream shop, and then once you are back home the fridge would shut off itself.

Having somisomi ice cream nice and fresh right after hours of adventure is freaking exquiste. It's a great accessory for camping, meet ups, picnics, birthday parties, etc.

Below are some really cool photos of the fridge right in my trunk
