Still don't know if cab-bed window opens

[Don B.]

After all this attention and scrutiny, I still don't know if the window between the cab and bed opens to let HVAC air through. And no one yet has tried to see if a magnet sticks to the CT's steel (some stainless steels are magnetic and some are not).

There’s no indication the window opens. I’m holding out hope for a 3rd party solution that will make it easily removable.

Already Confirmed ..Does not open!

Was also looked at at the ones at the after party, and it doesn't open.

It has to slide somewhere and that would have reduced rear cabin space, added cost, and likely would resulted in people getting there heads stuck trying to get through it.

More annoyingly, there is also no HVAC porting to the rear as predicted by some.

But an after market slider would definitely be a good way to fix both of these problems. A little thermostat controlled fan would also work for bringing HVAC to the bed.

Non no no !!!!

Another design choice fail for sure.

Or learn to camp how people have camped the last few million years, without AC.

The bed offers a chance to plug in space heaters/box fans. Not sure how much soft boys who never had it this good want to be pampered.

Maybe the next hardware revision update could add an opening mid-window. With Tesla, I think we will see a few revisions before most people can even take delivery, especially with the Cybertruck.

Potentially, but honestly except for a nice way to interact with my German Shepherd in the back, I would rather have the bed HVAC instead for the rear camper setup and hound.

That window is to small for anything to go through except air and toothpicks, and now that we have 5 seats instead of 6, having the pooch restrained in the back is the only way to have full seat capacity with a dog onboard.

The real swing and miss is the lack of power points in the frunk.

I have a slider in my Tacoma with 5’ bed. I’ve never opened it in 8 years, EXCEPT to transport long pieces of lumber or PVC pipe. Even the 12x12” (?) opening is very useful for 10 to 12’ long materials for me as a homeowner, not tradesman. But Rivian’s doesn’t open either.

Your optimism is adorbs

Obviously can't see out with the vault closed but does anyone know if you can see into the bed with it closed? Or is the glass always fully blocked unless the vault is open?
