Was the shop in Hyde Park Ma by chance? If so, fight them. They did something similar to me. I called them on it and the price dropped by $10k overnight, it was still absurd, and I will never use them again.
I suspect this warning was added in one of the OTA updates. My LE R1S was delivered in March. Mid summer my rear motor controller and both rear motors had to be replaced. My warning said “do not drive, call a tow truck” or something similar. At the service center they told me the coolant system...
Interesting. I had my rear motor unit replaced because there was low coolant in my truck and it burned out. They told me it was not leaking and must have been under filled at the factory… I have my doubts, but it has been great since.
They are terrible. I would say all modern blinkers are though. I find it impossible to turn them off without accidentally turning my other blinker on. They have been over complicated. I assume this is why so many people don’t use them any more. I
The prototype didnt cover the rails. I wish it did. I wouldn’t mind having to lift the cover to use the tie downs. I would rather not have to clean puke from the rails though :)
UPDATE: Canvasback has launched the product and has sent me links to it and to the accessories that you all asked about. They are reading this thread, so use it to give them feedback.

Back in late February, I contacted Canvasback, Inc. to ask them if they had an R1S cargo cover that covered the gaps between the rows when the seats were down...
My reply to this was merged into the post above. I just measured the height to the top of the crossbars in standard height and it was 6’3.25” (or 75.25” or 191.135cm).
Hi All, here are some shots of my 3 week old 2023 Rivian R1S LE in LA Silver with BM interior and 20” Dark AT rims and tires. I also added the Rivian Cross Bars today (piece of cake). Thanks to my amazing Rivian Guide Christina S. for all the help!
I just drove it for the first time after installing them. It was <40MPH around town, but I honestly didn’t notice any additional wind noise. Maybe on the highway I will. I tend to notice stuff like that less then the average poster though.
