I’ve been driving my R1T for a few weeks now, and while I absolutely love the minimalist design and the sustainable materials, I’m running into a bit of a practical headache: where is everyone putting their trash? Between protein bar wrappers and random receipts, my door pockets are already getting cluttered, and I really want to keep the cabin looking as pristine as possible.
I’ve experimented with a few generic bins from Amazon, but nothing seems to fit quite right. I tried placing a small container in the open space under the center console, but because of the Rivian's quick acceleration and strong regenerative braking, the bin just slides around or tips over the moment I hit the road. I also looked at some clip-on bags for the seat-back pockets, but I’m worried about them stretching out the vegan leather over time.
I’m really looking for something sleek that matches the Black Mountain interior aesthetic and stays secure during spirited drives. Has anyone found a specific brand or a clever mounting solution that fits perfectly in that center floor gap or attaches elsewhere without looking like an eyesore? I'd love to hear what's working for you!

Seconding the recommendation above. I also struggled with stuff sliding around that floor gap, especially since the R1T literally launches like a rocket. The BestEvMod setup is solid, but honestly, I found that I needed something a bit bigger for longer road trips.
I ended up grabbing the K-Motive Rivian R1T R1S Center Console Trash Can and it's been a total game changer. It's designed specifically to wedge into that weird floor space so it doesn't tip over when you're using regen braking or taking corners fast. Plus, the material matches the Black Mountain vibe perfectly so it doesn't look like some cheap plastic bin.
If you want something even more low-profile, some guys on the forums are using the Lusso Gear Car Trash Can with Lid and Storage Pockets and just strapping it to the back of the center console. It keeps the floor totally clear! But yeah, the custom-fit bins are probably ur best bet for that 'factory' look. Hope that helps!! 👍

Honestly, I've had issues with pretty much every generic bin I tried... unfortunately they just cant handle the R1T's torque and literally end up under the pedals. I would suggest getting the BestEvMod Center Console Storage Organizer Tray with Trash Can for Rivian R1T R1S. It fits perfectly in that floor gap and actually stays put during "spirited" drives, plus the black finish matches the Black Mountain interior perfectly. So much better than stuff sliding around!

Seconding the recommendation above for sure! But honestly... i've had issues with those floor bins sliding around. It's actually kinda *dangerous* if it blocks your pedals. For a safer bet, check out the Hefty 1.2 Gallon Small Slim Flap Tie Trash Bags tucked into a weighted floor bag like the Vancool Car Trash Can with Lid and Storage Pockets. It's got a heavy base so it wont launch during regen braking. Safety first, ya know? gl!

Catching up on this thread and man, I feel the frustration. That open floor design is the biggest double-edged sword in the R1T. It looks amazing and airy until you actually drive the thing, then it just becomes a launchpad for clutter. Ive lost count of how many times a simple coffee cup or bin has ended up in the back seat because of the regen braking. It is honestly exhausting trying to keep this truck looking clean when the physics are working against you. Ive tested a couple more options recently. In my experience, the Team 1EV Rivian R1T R1S Trash Bin is the heavy-duty choice. It is weighted enough that it doesnt budge, though it is a bit bulky. Compare that to the Abstract Ocean Center Console Trash Bin which is way sleeker and fits the Black Mountain vibe better, but it isnt quite as stable if you really floor it. TL;DR: Use the Team 1EV bin if you drive like a maniac and need it to stay put. Go with Abstract Ocean if you want something smaller that looks like it came from the factory.

Yo! I totally feel u on this struggle. When you first get an EV like the R1T, you basically gotta relearn how to pack your cabin because of that crazy torque. Since there's no transmission tunnel, that floor gap is huge, but it's basically a slide for trash when you hit the pedal!
I've been driving for years and one thing I've learned is that "minimalist" interiors are basically a trap for clutter. When I first got my setup, I spent way too much money on fancy bins that promised to stay put, but they all failed the "launch test" and ended up hitting my ankles. It was sooo frustrating!!
Honestly, I found that the best way to save money and keep the look clean is to look for "high-friction" materials. I ended up getting a simple weighted silicone container that was actually meant for a bathroom counter. Because the bottom is that grippy silicone, it literally doesn't budge on the floor carpet, even when I'm driving "spiritedly" lol. For the seat-back worry, I totally get not wanting to stretch the leather—I actually found a magnetic pouch that loops around the headrest posts instead of clipping to the pocket. It's been a game changer for receipts and wrappers! It's way cheaper than the custom stuff and looks super sleek. Just keep it simple and focus on the grip! gl!
