So after they killed the Power Tonneau I never went in and changed my config to manual. I got my delivery window yesterday and it’s a lot sooner than I thought (Feb-March 2023). My Power Tonneau still shows in my config and because the email sent yesterday states that if you update your config your delivery window will change to “processing,” I’ve not changed it. So now what? No chance I get a R1T with a power tonneau in Feb/March. So do I change it now, let my window go to “processing,” and hope my window come back after the January refresh? Or should I just keep it power tonneau in my config and hope Rivian is smart enough to offer me a manual/no tonneau come Feb/March? Has anyone updated their config to manual/no tonneau since the delivery window update yesterday? And if so, what happened?

When I got my invite to confirm my configuration back in September, my guide told me I could get the truck much sooner if I changed from manual to auto tonneau. I went ahead and changed it on the spot & had my truck 2 weeks later.
So, I think your best choice would be to wait until time to confirm your configuration.
BTW, I've had zero problems with the powered tonneau. Or the whole truck for that matter.

I chatted with customer service and the direction I got was basically leave things alone (Power Tonneau configured) and work with my guide once I have one to lock in my configuration. And leaving Powered Tonneau selected wouldn't impact my window. As such, I'm going to remain hands off my config until then. If Powered is still not an option I'll change to Manual and take delivery.

Don't Touch IT. I changed from powered to manual and my date went from Jan/Feb 2023 to the dreaded Processing Estimate.

It's likely still the same window, it's just as soon as you alter a parameter, the system defaults to processing until the next refresh in January.

You'll still get it well before me ;)

"Processing" looks way better than "January - December 2024"

But you live in Vancouver, so you have that going for you as a nice bonus :)
Touche

However, was doing dishes the other day, looked out my kitchen window and what did my eyes see?

The only Rivian in the city, El Cap at night... Start squealing to my wife "Look! a Rivian at the traffic light!!!!"

This is all I have to get me to 2024...25....26? but it sure was 👌

There’s a red one And a white one around too.

a little bird at Rivian told me they’re working on scheduling Canadian events for in the new year.

That's exactly why I asked before I switched to manual. Seeing my Feb-March 2023 window makes me feel good inside and I didn't want to risk losing that. That said, if we get an email around January saying they are going to reprocess estimates with data from X date, I'll switch to manual the day before. But hopefully I get a guide or shop access before that.

Weirdly enough, a bunch of Rivian lottery winners lately are those who did not switch from powered to manual…it’s tempting.

Well that happened a lot faster than I thought. I just got a guide and an email to confirm my configuration. However, the Power cover is still selected. I can’t even change it without my guide now. Anyone in the same boat? I setup a meeting with my guide for next week so I should know for sure soon.

Also, what is the typical time to delivery once you lock in your config?
