Rivian Removes Backrest Fans From Newer R2 Models
Original: Rivian Drops Backrest Fans from Newer R2 Models for Quieter Cabin
Rivian has dropped the backrest cooling fans from newer versions of its upcoming R2 electric SUV, a change the company says will make for a quieter cabin. The feature, which directed airflow at passengers' backs, was shown in early R2 demonstrations and had been promoted as a comfort option. The removal has drawn comment from EV followers, with some seeing it as sensible noise reduction and others as a loss of a distinctive feature.
Why now: Rivian's decision to cut a publicized comfort feature from the R2 has prompted discussion about cabin design trade-offs in new EVs.
