Hi all. This is my first post and I have two questions. I have closely examined numerous interior photos of the R1T and can find no "start" button. How does one "power up" the R1T? AND I have seen photos/ videos of the R1T charging from either front corner. Is it possible my eyes deceive me?

There is no engine to start. Tesla doesn't have a "start" button, either. Get in with your key/phone and the vehicle recognizes it. Easy peasy.

With the Tesla (At least the S and X) you just step on the break and it goes through a wakeup process. When your done, just put it in park and exit the vehicle.

I imagine there will be some way to start it with the Rivian app as well.

One cool thing with the Tesla App, I can unlock the car remotely and "turn it on" so it can be driven. Worth noting, this was one of those OTA updates enabled a couple of years after I purchased the car.
A use case scenario you are somewhere else and would like someone to use your car to pick you up. You can unlock it and enable them to drive it from anywhere as long as you and the car have an internet connection. Have I ever used it? Only to test, but it is kind of cool to know you can and it would be a cool feature for a vehicle designed for adventure.
