Request: Manual retractable tonneau cover

[MileHigh]

This thread should be cathartic for everyone who had the ptc pulled. ?

Eventually took delivery of 2023 Gen 1 R1T - had PTC pulled from the order.

OEM or aftermarket PTC please. Although I’d bite on a retractable MTC.

Trust me, I too am a salty mother.... because just as I was finally getting to delivery they pulled the powered tonneau and said "manual or no tonneau" so I was stuck with the manual and no real idea of what I was getting in the end. Getting the manual cover just as they reintroduced the powered one was also more salt in the old wound. Then to make it a $500 add on or a 3500+ retrofit... I fell into my salty little pile of tears and shriveled up....

I called Rivian Support for a retro fit PTC. They wouldn’t do it. Said supply chain issues. Saving PTC they have in warehouse for future failed V1 PTC. BS.

That's not what I got between normal CS and my local service centre they both confirmed that currently they are just doing installs on vehicles that shipped without a tonneau, but paid for one, and repairs of existing V1's. Both confirmed that later this year, it would be offered to anyone that wants one retrofitted likely via the GearShop.

I remember that I didn't want the PTC but then they said they were only going to deliver trucks that included the PTC so I added it to mine to improve my delivery time, then they removed the PTC from all orders, flipping that script again so I added the MTC again.

After all that, my order was being held up at the factory for 3 months waiting for factory PPF that was eventually removed from my order and I was taking delivery 3 weeks later

Ahhh so your jokes also come from a deep sadness within from a prior trauma.

Did you reach out to customer service by phone, email. Or chat? I’ve tried without success last month. I would pay that to get the power tonneau cover

Which one will they put in?

Damn $3k! Anyone remember what the price was when it was on your R1T order then removed?

Not to shoot this down, but the space where the powered tonneau retracts into is actually quite small and Rivians powered version is something above 90% efficient when it comes to utilizing the area. A roll up cover, like on the Hyundai Santa Cruz or even the Cybertruck, are only 70% space efficient which would mean either giving up the gear tunnel, or, in the case of the Santa Cruz, it would be more rearward of the cab, meaning it would take up bed space.

As someone that was forced by default into the manual tonneau over the powered one, I have a love hate relationship with it. I love the bag, It stores my Max Trax and tailgate pad perfectly. when the tonneau is on, it looks great, but dealing with the pieces can be a pain in the ass!.

Isn’t the new v2 (or v3, whatever we‘re calling it) introduced on the Dune spec a roll-up design? How Are they fitting that in the existing space?

Did your 2022 have a PTC already installed ?
