Was $1800 for my T 2 years ago.
I would pay absurd amounts of money for an opening sunroof on a Rivian. #1 feature I miss on this vehicle that I've had on others. Thought it wouldn't be a big deal, it's not a "deal breaker" for all future vehicles.

I sooooo miss my sunroof
Yes we are working on the R1S, however it is still in development and we will definitely in the future offer options for the two glass roofs on the R1S. What takes time is the fine tuning of the Carbon Fiber Roof with our acoustic foam core, it took us multiple iterations for the development of the current Symphonic Carbon Roof for the R1T until we got much better quality sound in the cabin. And here we have two different roof so it could take some time. We will keep you posted.Hijacking a bit, but any discussions about making one for the rear/3rd row glass in the R1S? I like my big glass roof in the pax compartment, but I would honestly prefer the rear stay dark full time. Just curious.
Thanks, and exciting. Good news is I don't plan on ditching my S for a long long time, so take your time lol.
I bet it would pass the Kim Java test, even now. And I'm sure it outlasted the glass roof on my R1T, which is currently shattered. And, you most likely have the option to repair your carbon fiber roof at substantially less cost than replacing a glass roof.
Just one's opinion but I think you may find a bigger selling point is improved thermal insulation vs music. Maybe this ends up as a second product with much thinker insulation between the layers and a measured R-value. A half inch of foam would be my choice instead of a direct fit allowing for same shade access. But I haven't tested the heat gain/loss through the roof vs the rest of the vehicle.
Not too hard. My wife says in her go cart. Our HS school auto tech teacher friend says is a roller skate. This was our first EV. Bought it last September when I started looking for a Rivian. My wife said I could buy an EV without checking with her first if I could get one under $5000. Challenge accepted! I happily paid $4200 for this old BEV. My wife loves “Boogie” - It’s Electric - for her two mile commute to school so we really didn’t need the range in that small daily driver.
How did your glass roof break? I was stationed in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for a year and we had a few GMC Yukon windows blow out due to heat building up inside when folks closed all windows and left their trucks outside in the scorching summer heat.
It appears to have been a rock impact. I recall once when a rock appeared to hit near the top of the windshield. It made a sound loud enough that I expected to at least see a chip or star crack, but I never found a corresponding impact point. Months later I noticed that the pano glass was cracked all over, with an impact point near the back edge. I keep a heatshield up inside my cabin, so I almost never see the pano glass from the inside.
It is substantial. Park your Rivian in the sun for awhile, and then touch the underside of the pano glass - it will be hot - so the pano glass is radiating and convecting heat into the cabin. Then touch the headliner anywhere, it won't be all that hot, comparatively.
