R1S Specs/Updates

Hi User:Tergy. I see that in early June you started a page for the Rivian R1S but couldn’t find much information to fill out the page. Below is some information from recent press coverage in several media publications that might help. I am an employee of Rivian and therefore can’t make the edits myself. I tried following the same specs outline as the R1T to provide the info, and have formatted the sources. I hope this is helpful. Best IanRivian (talk) 21:13, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. WILL HELP A LOT :) TERGY 22:55, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Refs in Lead

The lead is rarely referenced, it comes from information in the text which itself is referenced. Check out some other articles. I personally think it reads easier. Similar for the infobox, although I think there are often good reasons for refs there. Sammy D III (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This may be because the lead is very short, only 2 lines. - - - -The Ultimate King Of Dogs- - - - (and doges) 13:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
