Sorry to OP, I hope Rivian helps to restore yours and your wife's faith in the technology. This seems like a blunder that they have owned.
Also, it's tale, not tail.
Speaking of laws... what exactly is the situation regarding legislation, standards, liability?
Is it state / province jurisdiction?
I feel like I'm out of touch on this end of the discussion.
You're right to cancel and further hold off, and they were right to not send you a vehicle originally.
I'm from Manitoba, so I feel you. I also would not have moved forward with ownership without nearby service Centre.
Very high likelihood things would not have gone well for you. I know you...
Well, I have an update so I'll post it for those still following and interested.
I went in for my drop off appointment hoping Rivian would have approved the warranty repair, but they had not. My service rep was apologetic and offered to significantly reduce my out of pocket expense on the...
All good, just trying to point out that the seal (frozen or not) wasn't the cause of the resistance.
I should have also noted, that spray looks handy and I did like the general suggestion.
Take care,

The facts in my case do not support your understanding.
First, I have a near-water tight tonneau cover, and I don't have (any) liquid that stands in my bed.
Second, you are correct that the seal itself can present resistance and impressive suction to limit the release of the lid upon latch...
But where would you spray it to be effective in this case?
The latch just pulls a cable that engages a spring-loaded release mechanism, none of the latter is visible/exposed as far as I know.
Thanks, this confirms cold-weather freeze up issue in my mind.
I will search up threads in the forum so I'm prepared for my appointment Thursday.
Thanks again to the community.
Amazing...I already told service I would be unwilling to pay for replacement if it's the same plastic.
My main issue is the mechanism is jammed, for unknown reason
Thank you,
It warmed up here yesterday, lo and behold the machanism works now.
I'll keep my appointment and hope it's covered...
After finally getting some jack-pucks over the summer, my plan to manage my own wheel swap to winters was all in order for this year.
Driveway shoveled / swept, suspension in high, chock blocks in place, ready to rock!
Just need to get my 4th wheel from the bed (mental note for next time - take...
But, it's an absurd product to deal with vampire drain for a 1kWh/day drain - right? I mean, I can't tell if you're defending the overall concept of replacing lost energy due to VD with solar, or saying this is a good product to address that issue.
Because it's not, by any measure.
Apologies, I think I understand now.
The scenerio is to generally replace what would be used while stationary (lights, charging, screen use, seat heater, etc.), which is powered by 12v, then supplemented by HVB.
Like an RV.
Okay, I gotcha. Like you arrived to campsite at 2%, thought you'd have...
