OG OC....

New OC...

Thank you for putting those up. I must say, I personally prefer the dark immensely. I am very much looking forward to the change.

They are not. It's upgrade to Adventure or cancel.

In the long run they hope to recoup these customers with a $60-$80k R2. I'm persuaded by those who say Explore was too much price overlap with R2.

I configured my R1S build as black exterior, black mountain interior, 22" bright sport wheels. I however really like the new Ocean Coast option with the dark wood.

For those who have seen OC in person, is it an off white, light grey, other? Would love to see it in person before committing but might not be in the cards. Thanks in advance for your help.

I switched from OC to FE. How does this affect the FE deliveries? I have always said I would prefer the FE wood on the OC. This new option of BM wood on OC is interesting and free.
more to contemplate…

Just talked to CS...if I change to OC it will affect my delivery window. BM and FE are taking precedence right now even though it may appear there is a lot of hype/interest in OC with BM wood... I am not changing my config until a guide is assigned.

I am also still waffling between 20" vs 22" .... such a 1st world problem

I think its great for us that have the higher end trucks it drives me nuts when they sell the same f150 for $40,000 or $100,000 with options. kind of cheapens the expensive trims I think anyway.

• Has anyone dismantled their dash?
• Has anyone sanded their black mountain wood to see what color the wood is unstained?

I don't think ill like the new wood version and the leather wrapped might feel off. I'm considering removing all the trim, sanding it down, and finishing it with a lighter grey stain (like actual driftwood as "ocean coast" would suggest).

Not that I am aware of but if you decide to go on that adventure, please post pictures and let us know how it goes!

It has been 4 or 5 months, but I recall feeling that when I saw a small swatch of it at the Venice hub, it looked more light grey.

Already sounds like an adventure. Can’t wait.

Somewhere there are some posts about sanding the wood. But I don’t think people were serious about it.

Again... Always finding a "but"...

If supply chain is an issue (it is) why not keep the dark headliner?

I honestly am kinda bummed they didn't.

I 100% think the light Ocean Coast accents look amazing, but the light headliner is not my jam.

I mean maybe with a white R1T, but I loved my Tesla with the grey race seats and accents, but everything else was black.

Also, what about the door trim if you go vegan, is that too just a vegan wrap? Seems kinda kinda redundant if you pick either option since the adjacent door panel will be the exact same.color/material. Again, why not a all together different dash option (black lacquer, aluminum, carbon fiber, etc)?

I don't really care for the vegan dash on a black mountain interior, but now I kinda am torn by the light headliner in ocean coast.

Oh well... Still have a while for the Max Pack. Hopefully we'll have a super Rivian option with 1200hp+ to choose from by the time that happens.

From what I have seen the wood is not solid but a very thin veneer formed over a substrate. Given the thinness of the veneer my guess would be that by the time you sanded through the finish there would be precious little wood left. You could easily sand right through it given the complex curves.

They removed the yellow accents from the all-weather mats, even for those of us who already bought and paid for them.

Some may say "oh, who cares, there's a supply chain issue, it's not a big deal." Well, the kicker is they plan on bringing back the yellow-accented mats sometime next year. Okay, great! I'll just wait for those. I can be patient.

Ah, but you can't! You'll need to get a refund on your current order and order those from the shop whenever they become available. Oh, and you'll need to pay whatever the new price is at the time they are re-released. I'm sorry, but that's some shit right there.

It is the way

I just went into the shop and took a Limestone/FE model that was in there.

Winning!!!!

 

[Redline]

Has anyone spoke to CS yet regarding changing from BM or FE to this new OC color and if that will move you back?
