2021 Tesla Model X Long Range Plus (5-seater)
Tesla offers car covers for sale as optional accessories. They are not cheap (~$450), but the Model X outdoor cover:
  • Is custom made for the Model X and fits like a glove.
  • Is layered of premium artificial materials, with a soft, cushioning interior layer that does not scratch.
  • Breathes (releases moisture).
  • Protects against harsh sunlight (UV), birds and insects, dust, and minor damage (e.g., from small branches).
  • Has a Velcro flap to allow convenient charging even when the cover is installed.
  • Includes grommets on the bottoms of the two sides to allow the cover to be padlocked to the car.
  • Has a front screen to allow air intake.
  • Is relatively easy to install and remove.
Rivian R1T R1S R1S Premium Car Covers -- Looking for Recommendations Outdoor Cover - 1

I'll definitely want something like that for my eventual R1S.

Unfortunately, I do not know who manufactures the outdoor covers for Tesla. And afaik, Rivian does not offer car covers as accessories at this time. (Is that right? Perhaps we will see more Rivian-approved accessories in the future?)

I've seen one car cover (EV BlackMaxx) discussed by a vendor on this site, but as far as I can tell it is only for the R1T.

Can any R1S owners recommend a premium car cover with features like I've listed?

I am pleased (but also chastened*) to be able to answer my own question:
  • Manufacturer of Tesla Model X Outdoor Car Cover: CoverKing (Anaheim, California)
  • Car Cover Model: Autobody Armor™
  • Features:
    • flap to allow charging
    • optional flap to allow access to Gear Tunnel (for R1T)
    • optional front grill vent (to allow air flow)
    • side-mirror pockets
    • perfect fit
    • three outer layers
    • inner fleece layer
    • limited number of seams
    • top-of-the-line CK car cover model
Now the bad news: Currently CoverKing does not supply covers for the Rivian R1S. (However, they do provide covers for the R1T.) If interested, fill out your model information and if the message "CUSTOM PATTERN UNAVAILABLE FOR THIS APPLICATION" appears, fill out the email address box for an alert if and when CoverKing makes a cover for your Rivian. There is no charge and no obligation. But the more interest, the greater the chance that CK will eventually make covers for the R1S. I am hoping that an R1S cover is available in 2025.

By the way, I am not in any way associated with or receiving any compensation from CoverKing. (I did not know who they were until today.) But I can say that I am very pleased with my (CK-made) Tesla Model X car cover.
