    "excerpt": "August 10 through August 16. The 2027 R1 landed midweek and that is the bulk of it, though there is a recall you should look at too. Rivian introduced the 2027 R1T and R1S on Thursday with ordering starting the same day. Captain’s chairs come to the R1S for the first time, which Rivian says has been the most requested interior feature it has had. Esker Silver replaces LA Silver as the no cost paint on both. The trim names also move off motor count and onto the R2 structure, so Dual becomes Premium and Tri becomes Performance, with Quad keeping its name. Base pricing holds at $79,990 on the R1T and $83,990 on the R1S. There is a lot more in the full writeup, including all the interior renaming and where the captain’s chairs pricing actually lands, which varies more than you would think depending on trim. Captain’s chairs, Esker Silver, and a reshuffled lineup for the 2027 R1 . The recall covers 2025 and 2026 R1S and R1T front turn signal lamps that may not illuminate. NHTSA 26V-508, and it is an expansion of 25V-387 from June of last year. Another 3,829 vehicles built between June 2024 and May of this year got the same incorrectly manufactured lamps, though Rivian puts the actually affected number at under 1 percent of those. Remedy is already available, free, under an hour, and mobile service can handle it. Check your VIN. Rivian Recalls 2025 and 2026 R1S and R1T Turn Signals...",
