I believe they have already stated this will be an option. I've either seen it in a video or seen it posted here. I expect the extended height racks to be an available accessory.

No it was not that 11-year-old kid it was a Rivian employee that didn’t know if the rack extended up to the height of the cab.

Nothing worse than an employee of a business that does not know their product. Very common, thanks for the correction.

And how would he possibly have definitive answers about the final design of the racks?
Thats why potential buyers should just wait until the production model and build is out instead of constantly crying for answers.

I don't agree with this statement because Rivian does pay attention to what their future customers are asking for. Without the voice of the customer, Rivian would be left to their own ideas and the results of focus groups. Forums such as this provide a wealth of additional data that can be used to help refine their product offerings. That said, I would also encourage people to reach out to Rivian directly about things like this.

With the current 3D printing capability, I am sure you could get one custom made easily, in case they do not offer it out of the gate.

I spoke with two people in Mill Valley and showed them pictures of my 21 foot long Outrigger canoe. They both said canoe/kayak loading with extended racks from the bed were absolutely going to be available.
