Despite Rivian's clear warning about Gen 1 compatibility, one owner went ahead and used them on a new Gen 2 R1
Rivian 's second-gen R1S and R1T have a new pedal box design incompatible with first-gen all-weather floor mats. The Rivian -sold mats for the Gen 1 can cause the Gen 2's accelerator to get stuck, leading to unintended acceleration. The automaker is likely developing new all-weather mats for the second-gen vehicles. Rivian 's updated R1S and R1T have a host of new features that add to what many customers already love.
