LIMESTONE Rivian R1T seen at Salt Lake City Delivery Center!

[sevengroove]

The corrected version of the color reminds me of when my parents tried to dye our milk green for St. Patrick's Day.

To me it looks like the part of the movie where they add a yellow filter to convince you that the scene is in Mexico/Middle East.

I'll go take some pictures right now if it's still out there. But my camera phone is a Google Pixel 6 Pro, which unfortunately lacks a manual mode. Hopefully the auto HDR doesn't mess it up too bad.

Try from a greater distance as well, AND give video a shot.

I went to see this morning and it was not in the parking lot. I believe it was inside the building being prepped for delivery from the comments of the employees when I asked if it had already been delivered. When I was first approached by the Rivian employee I indicated that the forum had reported a Limestone truck at their location. The employee commented "Wow, that was fast".

I was greeted by several employees who asked if I had one on order and one who asked if I wanted to see inside one. I said sure and he sent the assigned specialist out to open the "fleet" midnight black R1T so that I could sit in it and admire the comfort and quality. The interior was very much like being in my Ridgeline except the seats are more plush, the interior is wider than the Ridgeline, the hood has sculpted curves that will make looking out the windshield less straining than the Ridgeline's flat hood. The compass yellow accents are nice, maybe somewhat understated. I don't care for wood dashboard accents but the gray tone in the BM interior is well done. The tonneau cover is very slick as is the tailgate design that gives the bed the full 7 feet of load support. They were moving a bunch of the trucks around the parking lot and I was surprised at the level of sound that was emitted. I'm still not sure how much of the sound was from the propulsion speaker and how much was the HVAC system. The headlights (yellow in hazard mode and white in regular mode) were not as odd looking in person as I had perceived them in the photos and videos. I spent about 30 minutes looking at the trucks and talking to the representative. He was very friendly (as were each of the other three employees who greeted me). He answered what questions he could (obviously well coached to not give specifics on dates or quantities. I asked what their "territory" is and he indicated that Salt Lake Center covers into Idaho as far as Boise, south to the middle of Utah (Southern Utah including Moab is targeted as "belonging" to the Las Vegas Center), Northern Nevada. It appears that deliveries and service calls can be made by a neighboring Center if the logistics suggest that it would be the best course.
I saw White, Blue, Silver, Launch Green, El Cap Granite and Forest Green.
I am only 5'5" and so I was curious about the entry height. The specialist indicated the truck is in All-Purpose mode currently which is an 11.5" clearance. I had no difficulty entering or exiting the vehicle at this height.
Sorry I couldn't get more photos of the Limestone truck. They wouldn't have been the best anyway as the Rivian Center faces west with the parking lot west of the building so at 10:00 AM the trucks were all in the shade.
I didn't order until Jan22 so my wait is just starting, but it's exciting to see the progression of this product and company over the past year. There are currently more than 20 R1Ts at this service center and the expectation is that they will soon be delivering about that many per week.

I'm not sure if this is the right one, but I didn't see any that looked even remotely like the configurator, or the color "corrected" one from the reddit post.

After reading this entire thread and still having no idea what Limestone actually looks like in real life, I conclude that unless you are the type of person that enjoys gas station sushi, the color Limestone is probably not for you.

I'm headed over to the Denver SC for my test drive a bit later today. Hoping to get lucky and spot the mysterious Limestone. Will take photos if I do, but a small blizzard is blowing through, so they might not be too great.

Your photos look like LA Silver, which I'm pretty sure is not the same one. There was no purple dumpster in the other photo and there was a Rivian Blue truck backed in, so nothing really corresponds other than being between Glacier White and Launch Green. Of course, any number of things could have moved since the previous photos were taken.

Yeah, I just noticed different wheels and tires too. The "LA Silver" is quite blue.

Like Poet said, I don't think it was on the lot. Sure were a bunch of trucks, though!

The Limestone had black wheels, looks like Rivian hid it again 8/

They posted a tweet a few mins ago with a limestone truck and all it says is "It's real." Hehe, they definitely read the forum.

Hey! Nothing wrong with a little petrol in your mackerel

Hmm. I need to see it in person.

I will give Rivian credit for making some chameleon-like colors that really seem to change depending on lighting.

Not sure if I'll go LA Silver, Limestone, or Rivian Blue.

 

[COdogman]

That is clearly in response to my gas station sushi post. Warm up your color filters!

I don't find the color as offensive as some here but I do think they need to update 100% of their renders to reflect the blue. As a former geology major I'm totally fine with this color being called "limestone."

No matter what, this:

Does not look like this:
