Configure your R1S here!

Great news! Slate Sky + Walnut Wood is now an available option, along with more photos. It’s priced the same as the Ocean Coast + Driftwood, yay! While there are no lease options yet, this might be a good sign that we’re getting closer to more timing and cost data. ⏳

Additionally, the R1S Quad Ascend now appears directly on the main build page instead of being hidden. ?✨

That's interesting and with the same delivery time line as the other colors, not sure why they didn't just offer them all up front so those of us putting non-refundable deposits had all the information about what would be available.

That said not sure I would upgrade.

I agree, timing with the option is quite ODD!

Nonetheless, I did reach out to my Rivian Guide earlier for a separate question, and she said, "Not to worry, as we get closer to delivery, you will receive an email to confirm your configuration. At that time, you can edit your vehicle." ?

That walnut wood is a bit creamy yellow for me. Would have been nice to have standard black mountain available too but I can understand their thought of having different interior choices to Adventure trim.

Trying to visualize what exterior color would go best with this new interior combo, I think glacier white or limestone.

Timing is due to no one was ordering the others due to the expensive nature of the tri and quad, so probably to try and spur reservations. I bet they bring the prices down for tri and quad at some point.

The Ascend trim level is great, but it’s hard to wrap my head around $110k when I paid $73k with preorder pricing. That’s gonna be a tough psychological barrier for some of us earlier adopters to overcome. But wow, I’d love a new quad Ascend when it comes out.

Agreed. Not to mention no massaging seats or soft closing doors. Can you image the quad! Probably 125k luxury SUV with no massaging seats or soft close doors.

I just look at it as averaging up. The money I saved over MSRP can be put to my Gen2 purchase

Great news! Slate Sky + Walnut Wood is now an available option, along with more photos. It’s priced the same as the Ocean Coast + Driftwood, yay! While there are no lease options yet, this might be a good sign that we’re getting closer to more timing and cost data. ⏳

Additionally, the R1S Quad Ascend now appears directly on the main build page instead of being hidden. ?✨

Not gonna lie. As soon as I saw the walnut wood, I immediately thought of the Griswold’s wood paneled station wagon from national lampoons vacation. I just can’t unsee it now.

Soft close doors are something that I don't think the majority of folks buying offroad-oriented luxury vehicles really care about that much to be honest.

Things may have changed over the years, but we've had a G550, GX460 Luxury, and Land Cruiser and none of those had soft close doors or hinges (or if they did, I never even noticed it).

Now massaging seats is a different story entirely. Some of higher-end company trucks my employees run have those & should definitely be included in the top R1 trim level (or any ~$90k+ vehicle for that matter).
