What's the issue with the Tonneau Cover? Problematic?

Curious if there have been any discussions on the Tonneau cover? Seems like it wasn't working on many of the display vehicles that have been available. Was told not to touch it at the First Drive event. Seeing owner videos where it's already not working.

Haven't auto tonneau covers been around for a while? Not sure why Rivian appears to be having such issues with it?

Has Rivian addressed the issue and what the fix is?

It's one of the reasons I chose the Adventure over the Explore configuration, but now wondering if the manual one would be better. Can you manually close the automatic one if it breaks? Or is it stuck in that position?
Hi, Rivian had two of their trucks on display the the FSAE Michigan competition on May18-21 and one had a broken tonneau cover. The leaves were closed on one side and about a 14” (thats not 1/4” but 14”)gap on the other. You could clearly see a small (1/16” aircraft cable that had snapped. I took a picture if you’re interested. This was the same event that Tesla showed up with a Cybertruck at.
