Powered Tonneau Delayed - Again

[dleepnw]

It's already been slow going with folks getting PTC v2, but it looks like its delayed even further until 2025. Per Chris Hilbert on Twitter, the wording on Rivian's website used to say it'd be available in 2024 but now it states 2025. Rivian Trackr says there are rumors Rivian is workin on v3. Yikes!

Its crazy that the PTC is taking this much time, effort, and resources.

I just had mine upgraded earlier this week. Rivian Tualatin SC wanted to schedule it for June but I got them to reschedule it until September.

So the rev 2 also has problems? So we should avoid that and wait for rev 3?

well, v3 is a rumor. but the source seems to have an insider at Rivian so it could be credible.

V2 PTC was installed in my 23 R1T in August by the SEA SC and working great since, it was in the original configuration but not available at delivery in June 24

Interesting. Rivian has called me once a month for 6 months trying to schedule the V2 tonneau when my V1 has worked perfectly (albeit with great fear) since day dot. I gave in. Next Saturday is V2 install, same day.

? can’t wait to get that call again. Mine has been pushed 2 or 3 times, from June to September to October. But when they called me last time they said it was a parts shortage?

My V2 was put in about a month ago. Seems to work great. Still not silky smooth but less clunking noises....

And still almost every truck they sell includes the PTC to be installed later... I guess they really want that extra $1500 in revenue.

This is very frustrating. I’ve been pushed 3 times as recently as last week on my 2023. I’ve been told it was a parts shortage due the harness and a supplier change. Either way Rivian needs to make it right for the customer whether it’s a credit or Manuel cover or something.

Interesting, my v1 has worked flawlessly since 2022 and I never got a replace repair call.

Rivian was gonna turn it off one time when my truck was in for service and I told them if they did that I would keep the loaner truck and not return it until my PTC was either operable or replaced.

I was originally scheduled for June at the Portland SC, then it was rescheduled for October, and yesterday Rivian called to reschedule for November. I don’t have a lot of confidence in the November date.

Some for my 2024 R1T - configured with PTC and not available at delivery back on June. Rivian's estimate for the PTC was "sometime in fall", and about a month ago, they emailed me saying the parts were now available. The earliest I could get an appointment for installation was the end of of November though.

I will not be surprised if that date slips, but really would like to have the cover in place before I travel to snow country in February next year.

Same for my 2023. First appt scheduled was for August. Then rescheduled for September. Then rescheduled for October 6th. Now rescheduled for October 21.

Why are these parts in such shortage? It’s a tonneau cover, not a brain surgery machine.

I am getting a little pissed that I paid a ton of extra money for something I haven’t ever had since I took delivery in May

It was not that expensive and a fraction of the price of the truck.
