I was at the Rivian space in Nashville today, where they have the R2 and the R3X. Walking up to it, my wife remarked that she thought it was cool. Right away, I'm starting on the right foot because she will need a new car by the time that one comes out. I thought the R3X looked cool in pictures, but that's nothing compared to seeing it in person. It is a hot hatch that goes well from practical to cool. I was also highly impressed with the build quality and all the little touches found everywhere in the vehicle. I don't have many pictures of the car because those are everywhere. I took pictures highlighting specific things I wanted to talk about here.
This wicker texture draws the eye to it and gives the smaller space some volume. Notice the stitching colors on top: Orange for the X and body color stitching. This pattern was repeated throughout all the stitching. The R3X is full of these little touches that remind you this vehicle is special.
The orange detailing is on the dash and the wicker is on the seats. Also notice all the spots with the orange and blue stitching in the car. I'm not sold on the mustard color on the lower half of the dash, but I like the design overall so it's something I'd live with.
Notice the orange metal on the upper portion of the seats. Another nice little touch.
Plenty of room back there for groceries or other errand supplies. Also notice the very top of the rear seat belt in the picture, it has the blue accents on the sides. All the seatbelts had that.
The rear hatch is curved in so the Rivian logo is proud of the hatch by a good amount. This gives a really cool 3D effect when walking around/past the vehicle. The R2 has this same logo but they are contrasted by the R1's. Only problem is for those who want to debadge their vehicles. I don't see these coming off very easily as the trim looks to be cut around them.
Two more orange accents, the calipers and this badge. It is also on the rim as well.
Orange mirrors, orange tow hooks.
The R3X will be an excellent replacement for my wife's i4M50 when it is released. So long as they stick to the same design and have the performance they are suggesting, R3X will be on my shortlist. I plan on returning to Rivian one more time before I leave Nashville, so if there's anything you all want to see that I haven't covered, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. I also got general information on the other vehicles, but I'll save that for a different post.
