The R1S Might Be The Perfect Family SUV

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!

Family trips are always one to look out for, and no better way to go on such a trip than with an SUV that can contain the whole family, has enough room for everyone to pack their favorite clothes, gear, and toys, and also offers modern tech and comfort for everyone.

The R1S is a perfect SUV for such a trip as it offers all of the above mentioned. It has a seating capacity of 7 to 8 passengers, frunk storage space, and a spacious trunk.

The 2nd and 3rd row seats are foldable, which offers a lot more room for packing. Has a camp mode, which comes with a Bluetooth speaker in the cargo area that can be used to stream music for outdoor activities.

There's also a 15.6-inch center touchscreen that can be used to watch movies and stream music just to add to the fun of the whole experience.

For people who love to cook, you could get the $1400 travel kitchen. An external mini kitchen system that offers users a comfortable area in their SUV to prepare their favorite meals to give themselves the feel of home.

I've gone on a couple of family trips with my R1S, and all I can say is that not too many SUVs offer families such comfort and luxury at the same time, but with the R1S you're definitely sure of getting both.
