After months of complaints about faulty or breaking bed covers and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rivian.com\/support\/article\/why-will-some-r1t-powered-tonneau-covers-be-replaced\">promises of a replacement<\/a>, it looks like Rivian is finally ready to redesign it.<\/p>\n<p>Owners everywhere have complained about the powered\u00a0retractable tonneau cover making funny noises, getting stuck halfway open, not always working, or downright breaking completely. So much, that Rivian just announced it has officially discontinued the\u00a0powered tonneau cover, will not give it to current reservation holders, and is busy redesigning the entire feature.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, Rivian will let reservation holders choose to get a manual cover or have no cover at all. Then, in the future, it\u2019ll re-introduce a new and improved option for owners. Here\u2019s part of an email going out to owners and reservation holders this week:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cWe are removing the powered tonneau cover from production. We plan to re-introduce this feature later, but a date has not been set. For the foreseeable future, all R1Ts will come with either a manual tonneau cover or no tonneau cover.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Since you have selected a powered tonneau cover, your configuration will need to be updated to either a manual tonneau cover or no tonneau cover. It\u2019s important to note this choice will not impact your delivery timing estimate coming later this month.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Basically, the company has confirmed the current product does not meet expectations and im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely discontinued the accessory from production lines. So while it\u2019ll probably return eventually, we\u2019re not sure when.<\/p>\n<p>The manual tonneau cover is fully lockable and offers protection against light weather, similar to other covers available on the market. However, being able to instantly control it with a button on the bed rail near the taillights made it a nice feature. Well, when it worked.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Rivian is a brand-new company and still working out some kinks. The company recently dealt with its first big recall, and now they\u2019re working through replacing faulty tonneau covers and producing a quality product that will meet expectations. A rep confirmed to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/10\/22\/rivian-rivn-tells-reservation-holders-it-is-halting-powered-tonneau-cover-production-to-redesign-it\/\"><em>Electrek<\/em><\/a> that they\u2019re redesigning the product and launch edition reservation holders will see a price adjustment.
