This is EXACTLY my thinking, almost word for word. I also purchased an extended warranty (Fidelity). If it was an ICE vehicle from a long established company with a well established market for repairs and parts (including non-OEM repair shops and parts), it would be a different story. Or if I...
Ok. So I have āNew Car Replacementā coverage that is in effect. So do you believe that if my vehicle is totaled that I SHOULD expect MY insurance company to pay me out for the replacement cost of a NEW Rivian with all the same OEM features mine had, plus taxes, fees, delivery, etc⦠PLUS the cost...
I really appreciate the feedback, but I still donāt think I understand the reality of this. As I said previouslyā¦
āā¦You can not typically get diminished value coverage from your own insurance company. And if I donāt carry rental coverage, why would my insurance cover it for me on their dime⦠or...
I get what you are saying, but seems that if I carry high coverage insurance but someone who hits me (they are at fault) carries minimal coverage, given the high cost of Rivian repairs it could easily ālimit outā on the at fault driverās coverage. Yes, my insurance company can then go the...
I sure do HOPE that it can handle at least a 'bag of groceries' load. I guess I've become spoiled by my Interrobang manual cover... that I (150 lbs) can stand on when necessary. What is the reasonable load limit that others have seen on the V1 PTC?
Hope you enjoy it! Please contribute to this threadā¦
V2 PTC
ā¦once you get yours to fill us in on all the details regarding the Version 2 Power Tonneau Cover.
Inquiring minds want to know!
Thanks
Based on past experience, that is fair. But obviously Rivian doesnāt want to be dogged forever by unsolved and ongoing warranty issues. So Iām willing to give the benefit of the doubt that once they TRIED multiple times to just put better lipstick (springs, lube, etc.) on the V1, V1.1, V1.2 PTC...
Some additional Info on the V2 PTC found on Reddit, purportedly communicated from a Rivian inside salesperson:
āWith Powered Tonneau Cover V2, weāve introduced a rollup design consisting of 36 interlocking slats that coil together when stowed. The purpose of this revision was to simplify...
Interrobangās aluminum panels tonneau is a very high quality solution that slides into the OEM rails. The storage bag is extra, but all is very high quality kit. Iām a comparative light weight at 150 lbs, but Iāve stood on the middle of my Interobang tonneau multiple times to trim tree limbs...
Looking for feedback from the group regarding any quasi verified details on what Rivian is calling the V2 Powered Tonneau Cover (V2PTC). I am looking specifically for any measurements of any protrusion into the previously empty gear tunnel space as - possibly - shown in the earlier image in this...
Not sure I can definitely answer your question regarding the Rivianās engineering. But the āSpareBumperā uses internal and external solid rubber āattenuationā pieces for impact absorption. The external pieces are designed as large dense rubber rings (2) that fit around the outside of the square...
After hearing about the high costs of minor repairs on Rivians, the first accessory I purchased (even before vehicle delivery) for my R1T - 'SpareBumper' - touted to absorb up to 30 mph impact. Hitch receiver mounted. You might consider...
SpareBumper
Spoke to an owner of an R1T with almost exactly that area and severity of damage. Owner followed insurance companyās requirements⦠first estimate at a non-Rivian-certified shop just for an initial estimate: $9K. Then made appointment at Rivian-certified shop. Initial estimate: $42K. Seriously...
Oh how I remember the feeling of having the PTC yanked from my order⦠grrr. And so then putting my order on indefinite hold hoping they would resolve the issues⦠grrr. Finally deciding to pull the trigger before my early order deal was negated, accepting a manual cover instead. Luckily the...
For me - the guy who has spent too much on camping/overlanding accessories on his āretirement gift to himselfā to think about letting it go for the next 10 years - it was about buying an extended warranty now at a known price rather than trying to guess what an extended warranty will cost in 2-3...
Was REALLY bummed when the PTC was pulled from my (what turned out to be 2024) order against my will. The Interrobang manual cover has worked great and standing on it (150 lbs) is no issue. But in my very tight garage with the door closed (so no room to drop the tailgate) it still sucks to not...
