Powered Tonneau Cover Appears to be Back on New R1T Builds!

[presbyjr75]

First time posting here, but I love the community here. I am getting geared up to start my purchase and I stumbled on the powered tonneau cover on the inventory vehicle listings. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I found 11 different configurations with the powered tonneau in it. Does this mean they are starting to put them in new builds or are these refurbished units?

It looks like it. I saw 11 in the R1T shop just now. And the Powered Tonneau is one of the filters.

I have been waiting for the PTC to be back in the configurator or GearShop to pull the trigger !

And know that some of us are not rich (be reasonable with pricing).

I have an early R1T from July of 2022. My powered tonneau has always worked well. I have to say, it is a pretty nice feature to have. It is worth waiting for if they are putting them back in the new units off the line.

$3000 for new build so I can see $4000 for a retrofit.

I would buy a powered tonneau retrofit for my Rivian asap

Still waiting on my repair/retrofit tonneau for my Launch Edition. Hasn't worked in 18 months.

They called to schedule it, then told me it couldn't be done until May or later, then said they'd call back because they couldn't schedule it for some reason.

I"m glad they are bringing it back, I loved it when it worked. I miss having a usable tonneau.

If only they would take my money

There is a 125% markup between build price and Gear Shop price for the manual cover; a healthy profit margin. Since powered cover was forcefully removed from my config, I'd rather pay $3k. More than that, I would feel a bit salty and have words.

Hopefully shows up in configurator sOOn

$3000 is same price that showed up briefly last year in Sept when some of the vehicles showed up with the PTC and they announced existing vehicles could be retrofitted.

its expensive if youre an early reservation holder who wanted a PTC when it was $1500 but they forced us to remove it.

That doesn't mean anything. Business conditions do change, as do pricing decisions. It's a variable, not a constant.
