All the ones I’ve seen use a single motor though. Usually they have a lift point on each end connected with simple cables.
The problem with the tonneau is its two independent teethed mechanisms and multiple sections. A big challenge to keep both sides in synch.
The best chance would seem to be...
Like you it was on the laundry list so it was going in anyway. My wife is pretty light so when she reclines the seat it goes off, or sometimes when she is sitting normally even.
I don’t see service fixing it tbh. I have had this since I got my truck 15+ months ago, and opened a ticket. They inspected it and said its working as designed.
Perhaps ping Rivian and ask that they better mark the trailer spots. Even a sticker on the charger would likely work. The one in Sacramento used to always have ICE cars parked in it anyway - I think they improved the markings there?
IMO the writing is on the wall for the Bosch motor quads. The prod costs for the twins are probably way lower, notwithstanding the extra differentials and additional software/plant tooling costs.
So in my mind it’s only a matter of time before the quad with in-house motors launches. It will...
Personally, it’s nice for nerd value. Would I pay a subscription for it - no. I don’t care how little it costs. Kinda over the subscription model now, and for something that has zero actual benefit to my day, nah. $100 one time, maybe. More than that, nope.
Yeah feels like screwed up communication/execution. I hope their intentions, at least, are good on this. I feel echos of the “exciting dual motor announcement” and (oh massive price hike) right before launch on this one…
From Rivian email 9/21/22:
“As you likely know, there are issues with our powered tonneau cover. While most are operating as intended, many are not.
We want you to know we are aware of the issue and are working on a solution and a process for replacing existing tonneau covers. Right now, no...
They repaired my cover once, and I’ve basically left it closed for 99% of the time and only opened it when absolutely necessary due to the flimsiness of the design. I think the majority of folks with the powered cover have been doing the same.
if Rivian is back-pedaling the retrofit for all...
Sounds exactly like mine was. Def not right.
They definitely seem more motivated to fix things the second time it is raised in my experience- or maybe I just got lucky with who looked into it the second time each time…
My truck used to give this alert all the time after parking for the night. I noticed after a week away the front was on the stops and the back still fully inflated.
I had them check it out at service for something else, and they said it was normal.
I logged a ticket for it questioning why if...
In sand and deep heavy snow I found sand mode did diddly squat without airing down On street tires.
Sand mode seems to bias to the rear motors for insane drifting fun in deep sand, but when you are out of grip it doesn’t seem to help in my limited uses of it.
