Discovered that R1T Powered Tonneau Available in Gear Shop Early 2024?!

[Stevetom84]

Found something interesting in the R1T shop that is now accessible to all. For the R1Ts there is a section that says it’s compatible with both the manual and power tonneau cover. Looking at the details it says manual cover will be available in gear shop later this year and power will be available in gear shop early 2024. Does that mean the powered cover will be able to be retrofitted? I already have the powered cover, but I always thought the stance was it had to be ordered with the vehicle. Could be good for those that want the powered cover and are willing to pay whatever they end up asking for it.

How to find:

Go to Rivian’s website and configure a R1T, at the end there will be a link to the shop, select a R1T, down towards the bottom there is a blurb about it being compatible with tonneau covers, click on that and the window pops up talking about gear shop availability.

One can hope!

That would be a great option. If they do this then I would expect it is significantly more expensive than having it in a new build.

Nice find.

Still waiting for the post Labor Day summer powered tonneau replacements.

I asked my guide to clarify if this is available to R1Ts without powered tonneaus currently. Will let you know what I hear back

The real question is will they let us add this back to our configs, at the original price, if we are still waiting on dual/max packs.....

Sweet find! I’d definitely be tempted if it was a robust design. I suspect that it will be significantly more expensive than the $1,800 manual cover though, so probably out of the price range I’d be willing to pay regardless.

ive asked my guide multiple times, including today if the powered tonneau can be retrofitted and he's said each time as far as he knows it can't be, it has to be factory installed at the time of the truck being built.

I don’t see it. Can you share the url?

Enter zip, pick a truck, then scroll down to the tonneau description and tap on it

Wow, WTF Rivian?! We have been waiting for updates (I have an R1T on hold since January of this year specifically waiting for power tonneau to be added) and this is how they bury an update on the status?

My Guide has had no new information when I check in with them.

This is what I saw when I went and configured a R1T.

This is wild. A *public* shop is wild but also the tonneau cover stuff is soooo wild.

Hmm guessing $5k option? Maybe they’re playing margin game.
