Darker than Limestone , lighter than El Cap (in the renderings at least):

Color looks closer to El Cap to me. Look at the rocker panels vs body color - not much contrast which is very different than the Limestone rendering.
Agree, I always saw limestone as a much lighter color, similar to what they had for the Long Way Up:

I agree, that is exactly what I was envisioning El Cap to look like in the sunlight. The limestone to me is seems to more of a puddy color.

I'd put good money on that being El Cap. We've yet to see a confirmed Limestone out in the wild.

I have been noticing in recent photos warning labels starting to appear. That's makes it seem like they are moving from prototypes to production vehicles in these pictures to me. There was decals under the hood in the recent RJ picture.

OK... looks like Black Mtn interior but that wood grain is way lighter, almost 'zebra" light gray. If that's the wood compliment then BM just became a very real possibility for me - especially since its no-charge choice.

It still looked pretty dark to me in person, but it might have changed some since the blue prototype truck. I'm wondering though if the lighter appearance in this pic is due to the camera & direct light on the wood.

I would tend to agree, especially since the top of the dash also appears to be a very light gray in color, when we know it should be black.

Anyone know what the thing is behind the rear view mirror (between the rear view mirror and windshield)? Can't tell if that's a place to put sunglasses, a forward facing camera, or where Alexa lives.

It's surely related to forward-facing cameras or sensors, and not storage.

The wood on the steering wheel and console is probably closer to what we should see in indirect light. I like it.

That should be the forward facing camera for the driver assistance systems.

The thing about natural wood is every piece will be unique. Obvisouly unique grain but will also take stain a little different.

Ok... so, I get it, you have to take the politician around to get his support to remove barriers. I get it. But... why can Rivian not just share with the people that have pre ordered and are supporting the vehicle a freakin video showcasing the vehicle in and out rather than the lifestyle videos we keep getting?

Expecting big things today Rivian. Big Things!
