Rivian\u2019s<\/a> online configurator now reflects a myriad of changes for new customers, including the absence of previous add-on options like a full-size spare tire. On a positive note, those who own or purchase Rivian R1T or R1S with the AWD quad motor and large battery pack, should see an increase in range. Rivian fans rejoice, additional range is always welcomed news.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As American EV automaker Rivian entered the final financial quarter of this year, it was touting a 67% expansion in production<\/a> of its two flagship models, on pace to hit its output goal of 25,000 units. This came as welcomed news as we\u2019ve watched the young automaker\u2019s assembly lines stumble at first while learning to optimize and scale.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been less than a year and a half since Rivian began first deliveries of R1T, and the R1S has since joined the party. In Southern California, we are starting to see both models on roads more and more. Although Rivian has previously discontinued its Explore package, the lone Adventure package has still offered plenty of customizations and add-ons for consumers. Everything from the drive system, to battery size, and a myriad of add-ons to create an EV that\u2019s ideal for how you intend to use it.<\/p>\n

Up until recently, the Rivian large pack battery option offered 314 miles of estimated range in the R1T pickup, and 316 miles in the R1S. Now, a recent software update<\/a> appears to have rolled out to current Rivian owners offering added range (at least for quad motor configurations). This is now reflected on the automaker\u2019s site<\/a> for new customers as well. Have a look.<\/p>\n
