The Rivian R1T is shaping up to be one of the most interesting electric vehicles on the market and, from mid-2022, it will be available with a removable roof. The electric car manufacturer didn’t confirm the impending availability of the removable roof in a press release and instead, it mentions the forthcoming option on the pickup’s official online configurator.
It remains to be seen what form the
removable roof will take. It is possible that Rivian will develop a roof with
separate sections like the one in the Jeep Wrangler, or perhaps it may create a
roof that can be taken off as a single piece.
In early April, Rivian detailed the
warranty information for both the R1T and R1S. The comprehensive portion of the
warranty will cover the cost of all parts and labor necessary for any defective
materials for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The battery pack
and all of its internal components, as well as the powertrain, are warrantied
for 8 years or 175,000 miles. Rivian will also provide an 8-year unlimited mile
warranty for protection against corrosion of the body panels.
Deliveries of the Rivian R1T will kick off
in June, while the first R1S SUVs will reach customers in August.
