Unfortunately, "Rivian has deleted the Camp Kitchen, Tunnel Shuttle, and R1T Tent from its online gear shop. All three were previously listed as “not available yet” until earlier today when their entries disappeared."

That sucks. I wonder if it has anything to do with their ruggedness over time, which may result in recalls down the line if they vibrate whatever mounting components they have and become dangerous/unstable/easily-broken thus a maintenance nightmare.

What happens to the rear end kitchen in the event of a rear-end

plus with the through-tunnel - I wonder how easily the machine is completely totaled in the event of a crash causing the tunnel structures to warp/bend/buckle.

I love these trucks - but I hope they took them out for eaither engineering/safety or more simply suppliers/supply-chain issues.

That is rather unfortunate. It's a rather cool idea.
