That gap when closed looks big.
What gap? The part that touches the tailgate has a gasket and you can see it compress when it closes, so there's some decent pressure between the cover and the tailgate.

I thought so too.. But then enlarged the video, ran it manually, and I can see the soft rubber bumper ‘smoosh’, collapse up against the entire tailgate and apparently seal well enough. The angle used to make the video seems to add extra shade, dark space on the near end.

I remember they said not at launch, but they'll offer them later. Also, Emme mentioned that they had a bunch of different wrap options. So far I think we've seen 3. The 2 in these pics and the wrap with the kids drawings.
I love the wraps, especially the one that the kids colored on! ????

Gaps around charge door and hood seam line up nicely here! ?

Yet another range estimate on the screen that makes me wonder about real world range. I would really appreciate Rivian giving one of these to Kyle or Tom for a day or two...

Exactly. Is that 237 miles when fully charged? And Conserve adds 5 or 10% or something? It's in the daily profile, so is "67%" really "67% of 70%"? Is 159 a GOM or rated, I don't remember...

either way, i'm struggling to get to 85% of 314 miles for the 20" tires with "mixed modes". I'd just really like a 70mph range test to get a better idea as to how these will perform on the highway.
