Buyers of the Rivian R1T will surely be pleased to learn that the wait for the powered cover is nearly over, but there’s no ignoring just how long that wait has been. In October last year, Rivian informed buyers that the powered tonneau would be temporarily unavailable while the startup was figuring out a durability fix. But that fix never came, and Rivian suggested that customers should make do with its manual cover for the time being.
But even that had problems, and Rivian failed to deliver. Now that the cover is back and ready for the task, Rivian can breathe a little sigh of relief.
That being said, there is still plenty that Rivian fans are patiently awaiting.
