"wrapped leather dash" from the email. Looks like I'm sticking with the BM wood as I don't like this...
this doesn’t look as good as the natural wood look. I don’t think the BM wood option looks that natural either. Ideally we can opt ocean coast with the FE wood grain interior. Id happily settle for that.

Yeah, I haven't loved the OC with Walnut from FE wood combo. It just doesn't work right. It's a personal choice type of deal and people split 50/50, but I'm sticking to the new OC. Still the best looking interior in my opinion. I liked the original version better though.

I love the OC interior now. If it would have been like this then I may have waited instead of going with BM. I did not like the light dash on the original OC interior.

It's crazy how different everyone's tastes are. I personally would have preferred they use the walnut if the light wood was hard to source. The natural wood colors fit Rivian's MO better IMO :)

This reminds me of the early days of Tesla where too many choices caused disfunction and delays. At least Rivian figured this out a lot sooner. I'll stick with the new OC also, but don't love the change.

This is probably overthinking things (seems like that is par for the course here), but I had been debating between Forest Green and El Cap exterior, with the OC interior. The change of wood color now pushes me more toward El Cap now. The light wood had a nice flow with the green exterior.

I've been waffling a bit between rivian blue and limestone, and the same thing- Limestone would look a bit better with the new OC. I'm not swapping yet but it's living rent free in my head right now.

Awesome decision. I have the Launch green and black in my current R1T and it looks great but I want the ocean and grey dash for my wife's R1S we order at the same time as the R1T. When we saw the white-wash and white interior in real life it just did not look right. This combo is a much better mix of colors and we are now going with the Green, and New Ocean /Grey-white interior combo for sure. It will be so much cooler inside vs the R1T in black we have right now.

Just got a call from my guide that I have been matched with R1T in production and immediately received my email to begin the purchase process. That was quick, as I was sitting in an OCT-NOV delivery window.

RB w/ OC and 20" AT wheels. So stoked!!

Hey Mark, I'm in Gilbert also! Seeing a few R1T's around made me finally make the leap away from Tesla after owning 4 of them. I was an early adopter over there and it was a tough decision to break away. Now I'm super jealous of those that jumped on the Rivian bandwagon a lot earlier.

Agreed- too sterile.
