According to Rivian, the R1S SUV will come standard with third-row seating. On other SUVs it's an option but not here fortunately. Does anyone know what options Rivian will introduce on the SUV? So far all I could find is that adventure gear upgrades will be coming: "Yes, you’ll be able to outfit your vehicle with gear and upgrades to help complete any adventure. At launch, you’ll be able to choose to add the flexible crossbar system for both the R1T and the R1S, and the Camp Kitchen for the R1T."

If you get the 400 mile range R1S, you won't have a third row, because of the extra space needed by the battery packs.

That has been the understanding to date, but it is contradicted by the FAQ they just launched: https://rivian.com/support/article/will-the-r1s-have-a-third-row-seat-option

Maybe the 180kWh version won't have the fold flat third row but will still have a third row?

Not really contradicted, the just said, "Yes, the R1S will come standard with third-row seating." which is true, but not for all models, specifically not for the 180kWh model. If you dig into the specs on the website, under "explore utility" they call that out.
