New Electric Tonneau Replacement installed -- no difference from original

[Supratachophobia]

My guess as well. They will include a new version of the tonneau in the configurator this year and it'll be pretty expensive (~$4,000) and not something that can retrofit to the original trucks.

Probably comes along mid-year with the 800v refresh (my speculation).



I had issues with my Model S door handles in less than a week from delivery last year. I can't believe they haven't completely changed the design yet. I know that it looks cool, but the operation is noisy and they break a lot.

There's not going to be a an 800v mid-year refresh, for so many reasons.

But a NACS mid-year refresh??? And some improvements in the seats?

And heat pump and car play. They are all coming!

I had the manual cover at the ~$875 price point and refunded it before delivery (The return was even a Sh*t show)

I purchased this one: https://shop.agricover.com/product/lomax/lomaxtruckmodel/22-ON_Rivian_R1T_4ft_6in_Box_B2 in matte black. I'm very happy I went with matte as it matches the rest of the truck nicely. I bought it from Luke at <[email protected]> for $800 including shipping.

You have to adjust the cover appropriately, but it is as watertight and secure as it gets. I drove in a downpour and the bed was bone dry. However, sometimes a little bit of water gets in the sides. I would say it is more rare then the OEM covers because it sits ontop vs. in the channel. My neice/nephew sat on it while we were having lunch this weekend with no issues. You could probably stand on it, but I won't.

My favorite part about it is it is rock solid, reliable, I have full faith in it, and I much prefer the flip back operation rather than pulling everything out the end. I use it ALL THE TIME. I have to imagine if I had to pull it out of the channel I wouldn't use it half as much.

Ordered this ( prices have gone up, $1,061!) but looks like the best option for me. Thanks again for the suggestion. Any idea if it will work with this?

Now that I have had it for a couple of weeks it seems to be working good with no hiccups. A little noisy but at least it is working and seems reliable

Based on how far that thing sits in the bed when folded in I would say you might have to pull the cover off the bed when flipping that out. When the cover folds all the way in, to pull it off literally takes seconds, there are two ropes that are attached to latches that fit in a channel towards the back of the bed. Personally if you see yourself using it all the time that might become a hassle, however it is still way easier to pull off than the manual tonneau would be. That bed extender would work really well with the auto cover.

I didn't know that existed. I might have to order myself one. I wouldn't use it all the time but it would come in very handy when I do.

You'll really like the cover. At first I thought I was going function over form because the cover sits ontop of the bed, however it looks great and operates flawlessly. IMHO this is the best cover for the rivian outside a working powered cover. When I took delivery of the truck that wasn't an option anymore, and to tell the truth I wouldn't want to own a powered cover outside of warranty.

Thank you for reporting back. Just hoping to have Denver SC get to me before winter 2024.

Curious but what gives you more confidence in the new version that makes it seem reliable?

It just seems more stead and less hesitant than the old one
