Per my latest chat w/ Rivian, the POWERED tailgate has now been KILLED. It will now be manually operated:
Me: Did Rivian really scrap the POWERED tailgate? Not the 180 tailgate...I knew that was gone...
Rivian: ...Rivian has simplified our offerings to bring the R1T and R1S to market. With that, the powered tailgate did have substantial cost, and complexity and didn't believe it created enough face value for Rivian at the time of launch. Nonetheless there is still a lot to look forward too as we near production in a few short months.
