I just put my deposit down for the R2 and I’m already obsessing over how to keep that clean, minimalist interior organized! Since these models are a bit more compact than the R1 series, I’m really focused on maximizing every inch of storage, especially in the center console and the open floor area. I’m particularly interested in finding high-quality dividers for the dash storage or maybe some clever under-seat bins that won't slide around. Has anyone heard of third-party brands already developing custom-fit trays or organizers specifically for the R2 or R3's unique layout? I’d love to know what’s on your 'must-buy' list to keep the cabin clutter-free from day one!
I've tracked EV storage for years. I would suggest: 1. TWRAPS R2 Center Console Tray: Precision fit, but pricey.
2. Hansshow R2 Storage Bin: Roomy, might slide. Lesson: dont buy yet; R2 specs are still secret!
Coming back to this thread because I'm super STOKED for the R2! Before I give full advice tho, quick question—are you planning to haul larger gear like a gym bag in that open floor space, or is it mostly just small stuff like sunglasses and chargers? Knowing that basically changes whether you need deep bins or just some low-profile dividers. Since you're looking for value and want to keep it minimalist, here is the technical breakdown on what to watch for: 1. **Material Specs**: Focus on TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) organizers. Ngl, hard ABS plastic is cheaper but it rattles like crazy in a quiet EV. TPE is grippy and silent... definitely worth the extra few bucks for the cabin feel.
2. **Anti-Slide Tech**: For under-seat storage, skip the custom plastic bins for now and look at Velcro-bottomed felt storage bins. Because of the Rivian floor carpet, these literally won't budge even if you're hitting 0-60 in a flash!
3. **Universal Hacks**: For that dash storage, adjustable silicone honeycomb dividers often fit better and are way more versatile than the "custom" ones that brands mark up like crazy right after launch. I know earlier someone mentioned TWRAPS, which is cool, but i'd personally wait for the final CAD specs to leak so you dont get stuck with a 'v1' product that doesn't fit perfectly!
Ok so I totally agree with the point about safety and those loose bins being a hazard. Coming from a technical background, having something heavy fly around the floor during a panic stop is basically a projectile waiting to happen. Since the R2 and R3 specs arent fully out yet, I have been looking into DIY solutions like custom Kaizen foam inserts or even 3D printing my own brackets to lock into the seat rails. Tbh, it is often more reliable than hoping a third party brand got the dimensions 100 percent right. But before you go down the rabbit hole of buying or building stuff, I have a couple questions to narrow it down:
Ok so I saw this earlier and gotta say—safety is highkey huge for me!! In my current setup, I actually had a loose bin slide forward during a hard brake. Totally dangerous. * Check out the RivianForums community
* Browse the R2 subreddit threads Those are great resources for finding secure, high-quality gear that won't move. Honestly, being organized is great, but safety first... gl!
hey, congrats on the R2! honestly, i’m in the same boat and sooo worried about the clutter lol. I'd suggest watching brands like BestEvMod or Abstract Ocean. I'm definately looking for a center console tray first. I'm gonna wait and see the exact floor dimensions tho, cuz under-seat bins might slide around if the fit isn't perfect... basically just stalking forums for now!! gl
