. But Rivian did do a good job with the seat versatility, as both the second and third rows fold flat and create a useful cargo floor.The R1S we drove had the only powertrain available initially: a quad-motor setup with a 128.9-kWh battery pack feeding the electric motors, which make 835 total horsepower—same as the R1T. The SUV's numbers aren't identical to the truck's, however, as it has slightly better EPA range and a lower towing capacity of 7700 pounds .
