Rivian will be adding more accessories for the R1T that allow passengers to take advantage of the spacious gear tunnel.

Rivian spokesperson Michael McHale spoke with Green Reports and confirmed that there will be more than just the built-in kitchen to choose from. The article speculates that there could be things like "fishing tackle boxes, electric coolers, toolboxes, and more designed to tuck neatly into the space."

Given what the company has been able to do with the sliding kitchen there are countless possibilities of what they could offer next for accessories. What would you want to see Rivian add as an accessory to the gear tunnel? A sliding cooler would be a good alternative for those who don't want to have the kitchen.

Smart considering eventually it will help with selling fleet versions... police interceptor?

Whatever the accessory, where applicable, I'd like to see Rivian provide accessories that use, say, half the gear tunnel, where one accessory pulls out from one side and another accessory (or same?) pulls out from the other side.

For example, offer a scaled down pullout kitchen that uses only half the gear tunnel. Serves those with less of a need (e.g. mouths to feed / meals to cook) while keeping cost down, while leaving the other half to be used for whatever - gear, pullout fridge, pullout storage bin with configurable dividers, tackle boxes, etc.

I know it’s been a while since this was originally posted but just out of curiosity, where did you see that they’ll be adding more accessories to the gear tunnel?

Thanks so much @JimmyEV! I’m super interested to see what products and accessories they come out with for that gear tunnel. Also really interesting to see mention of the in-bed auxiliary batter packs. Thanks again!
