I would like the glass roof be an option. I know it adds complexity to the manufacturing process but it's better than a class action law suit. A solid roof would also add structural rigidity and improve handling through weight savings (assuming the glass is heavier). An "adventure" vehicle needs to be as tough as possible. Not sure what the original thinking was but as an option it might save Rivian money and possibly be a source of additional revenue. What say you?

Yeah or even a carbon fiber panel that can be removed. Similar to the bronco and hummer. There's enough structure there to do it I think. I'm happy with the glass roof on mine though.

I just want the electro chromatic version. My wife was mentioning how much she likes it while sitting in the back seat this weekend. I wouldn't do without it for sure.

A metal roof could make Rivian additional revenue.
