If auto tonneau is a soft cover I'd much rather keep my old metal slats.

Rivian has been giving me an icky feeling lately, like the one you get when you know you're being taken advantage of. Honestly, I'm 50/50 on pulling the plug even though I am only a few weeks from my April/May delivery window. (not just about the tonneau)

No slats, no sections, kinda looks soft to me.

Which makes it a bit flaccid. Just sayin.

It was $1500.

No it was free (For LE)

it may be that the panels have a cover that keeps the debris out...

Looks like Rivian has new designs for the R1T Manual and Powered Tonneau covers.

They are coming in soon - Mid summer !

No information on the powered tonneau. This video is all about the manual one...

Tonneau issues sorted.... now how about get those spare wheels out there?

I'm wondering if it's like one of those rollbacks now where it has the vinyl covered in the small slats that roll up into a container

Can only hope of this is case, that they offer a customer satisfaction campaign that extends the warranty coverage for the original designs a really long time, and then those with working existing covers cam do best to keep them working, knowing when they die someday, that the new units can be installed under the no cost program at that time.

Somehow I don’t think that new power option is a hard material anymore. They ran from that solution pretty quickly in the video. If you look closely as well they’re no slats anymore as well.

And boy did they run…. Sad.

They literally offered no explanation of the new powered cover when that has been the one with the issues. I think it deserved just as much time as the manual cover or more to explain what they’ve done to resolve the issues from before in a 1 min and 30 sec video.

I did text my guide as I was expecting delivery next month. She says this is for existing owners and no date for new builds. I hope Rivian can give an idea if new builds this year, or next year can have the option of the PTC.

Not crazy about having a manual cover that has to be removed in order to have an uncovered bed. Also, I would not like giving up my gear storage to carry around the disassembled cover. My storage is for my golf clubs!

looks to me like externally there is no significant difference in functionality, so they probably didn’t bother with demonstrating. little did they know some of us want specific details of materials, etc.

This must be because of a supply chain issue. Hopefully the new orders can select the automatic cover shortly.
