Has anyone noticed the cross-bar mounting points inside the bed? I know you can mount on top of the bed rails, but it looks like there are additional mounting points inside the bed. And if you look at the bars themselves, they look like they are telescopic so they would contract to fit inside the bed. Not sure if this is old news but I just noticed in an aerial pic.

I do believe the in-bed mount points were removed in later pre-production models. Not sure if they have been officially deleted for Production models
The bars can also be used on the roof, which is narrower then the bed rails.

My understanding matches Rivian-WI. The most recent info we’ve heard from Rivian is that the in-bed mounts have been removed. The rails telescope so they can be installed in either the bed rail or roof positions.

Can you purchase the launch edition R1S with these bars?

The bars will most likely be an extra-cost accessory, but yes they will be available for both R1S and R1T. LE or non-LE shouldn’t matter.

Yakima is making those bars and will available for purchase through Rivian exclusively.

Yes the R1S has similar looking ones for its roof mounting points

maybe for bike racks within the bed? Or anything for that matter, interesting. All these amazing ideas before the supply chain, production and financial challenges
