I wrote my guide last week and asked for a refund to my manual tonneau. She says "I am working on your refund now. "
Same here. I ordered the EVSportline cover that is expected to ship in April and asked my Guide to process a refund. It's unfortunate for Rivian because I'm sure they don't want to spend time and money processing refunds....but they should have at the very least put out updates and kept up communications regarding something that has already been paid for but not delivered.

I never get why the manufacturers, when they cant handle the distraction etc, dont just have a partnership with someone like @EV Sportline and let them take care of things. Sure the cover would be different vs what they said but at least people could get something.

Is the pre-production price still in effect? I just took possession of my R1T yesterday and am a few weeks late to this thread.

No offense to EV Sportline but if I paid $800 for a cover (now $1800) I’d be pretty disappointed in that partnership. I agree with you, but it would be great for a $500-600 option.

Hi all, has anyone had eyes on this product yet? Looking for an independent review.

Took delivery of R1t this past week. What an awesome ride - really only downside I can see so far is the lack of bed coverage! Hope this solution works - it seems to make more sense than the panel system eventually coming from Rivian. Access to just grab something from the bed seems to make way more sense with a rollup/flip model than the proposed hard panels that must be slid out.

I'll order as soon as I can see a video of it in action.

I am sure if they were to make one for $1800 it would be of even higher quality but they thought their market would be to undercut the Rivian offering (whenever that turns up).

Is this installation compatible with BuiltRight cabwall and sidewall molle panels? I've watched both videos and it appears the sidewall panels and your cover use the same bolt holes.
Thanks

Great question. The first observation I had, and why I'm holding out for the Rivian cover. I just installed the Builtright panels and they are great for strapping things in place. Love them.

Just ordered mine. With the email from Rivian today announcing the manual tonneau to be "Summer 2023" that scream (to me) August, which actually means September. Unfortunately, I'm not patient enough to wait that long and like to know that bed object don't easily fly out of the bed when heading down the highway.

Gotta say, our prototype unit fits like a glove! Coming soon gang...little tease for you:

Fits R1T that have been delivered 'without tonneau'
Simple bolt on, no mods and no 'jerry rigging'....sorry jerry :)
Rolls up when not in use, or remove it if you like. Easy.
Works with cross bars, no interference


Will be up on EVSportline.com shortly

Got mine yesterday and installed in less than 15 minutes. I ordered back in March when the possibility of a factory product was up in the air and still is without a definite date. The fit and finish blends well with the design of the truck. For the price and considering I travel every week with light cargo needs, this may be a permanent solution until I am sold on the manual. Appreciate the weather stripping and video from EV Sportline for install. Thus far am pleased with the product and think it was well thought out.
