One of the unique features of the Treetop tent was that it would have internal power, taken from the R2 cross bars. But Rivian scrapped the crossbars-with-power feature, so now the Treetop is just a nice tent.
I hadn't seen that detail, but that would have been neat! A little sketchy though, as I get nervous even about track lights 😅

It appears it is still powered though, you just need to run a cord to the car's AC port (or the V2L adapter).

I'm aware. That's the exact same prototype Borealis/Coastal Cloud R2 that's in the OP's picture - it's been shown around the country for a while now, and was in the SXSW videos too. It always had the tent, and I've never seen the tent on a different R2.

I first saw that tent prototype in 2024. There has not been any additional information released since then. Right now the tent is just a product concept, not an actual product.

TobyRingle said "Rivian has stated that the treehouse tent will be available next year"

You replied:
Do you have a source to back up that statement?
I then provided a source, Jeff Hammoud Chief Design Officer of Rivian saying "It will be coming out next year." This seems to be a pretty unequivocal answer to your request for a source to back up TobyRingle's statement.

Now you are saying you are aware and it is still a concept product.

I would say every product is a concept product until it is actually released to the public; which Rivian states will happen next year as TobyRingle initially told you. Please don't ask me for a source......
