Rivian's camp kitchen is being redesigned, and there might be more than one version.
A patent application published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 18, after being filed by Rivian in 2023, shows an alternative camp-kitchen design. The cooking apparatus still slides out of the Gear Tunnel pass-through located behind the cab, but now includes a grill.The grill appears to be a downsized version of the standard cookout item, designed to fit into the Gear Tunnel and attach to the same shuttle mechanism used for the original version of the camp kitchen.
Rivian began showing off its original camp kitchen in 2019, and advertised it at $5,000, but kept pushing back the launch before removing the camp kitchen from its online configurator altogether in 2023. So the usual caveat that patented ideas do not equate to production plans deserves extra emphasis here.This isn't the only potential redesign of the camp kitchen Rivian has tried to patent, though.
SUV surfaced in Oct. 2023. Because the R1S lacks a Gear Tunnel, the camp kitchen deployed from the SUV's tailgate.
