Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

The frunk isn't a new feature when it comes to EVs. It's been popular right from Tesla days, and Rivian isn't an exception to such a feature. Frunk originated from the word trunk, but the T was replaced with an F since it's located at the front of the vehicle. It offers extra room for packing and can certainly contain a good amount of stuff. Since EV's have no engine, I think it was a cool idea to use that space to create room for extra stuff for people who have so much stuff to pack either to go camping, move out, or just for a fun time at the beach. It's also pretty cool for taking pictures as well, as you can see in the image below.
