Saw that Rivian posted this. It's only two pages but it's information I haven't seen before.

If only there was a retractable shade for the glass roof panels to protect everything in the interior from "damaging ultraviolet rays" as this cargo cover is supposed to do....

Glass roof has a UV blocking coating. I don't think the back window does.

Based on what I've seen with R1T interior UV testing through the glass roof, it's not very effective just like in Tesla's, we'll see people putting extra tint/UV film on their roof panels in short order.

Got a link to more info? I haven't seen anyone doing a test with calibrated equipment, but it's entirely possible I missed it.

anyone got an estimate of the impact on range for having the cargo cover installed and without?







if you read this far, I hope you got the joke.

That's a pretty huge reduction. May as well just paint all the windows solid.

UV isn't the problem, IR is for heat rejection.
