Speaking of Porsche, I assume they still have the custom paint option where they will match any color (of course, assuming it is feasible). Want a truck that the matches the blue of your Husky's eyes? No problem, just send them a chip! (Of course it's a tad bit more than $2500)

They now have a two-tiered paint to sample structure. Used to be just the one charge. Now there is PTS from a list of pre approved colours(all modern and classic porsche colours), and if you want truly paint to sample it’s another $12k on top.

effectively they’ve figured out they can charge someone $12k to get a colour that was standard a couple years ago ?

Rivian Blue: Deep ocean blues that reflect clear skies above, this is a hue of both optimism and depth, energy and calm.

It’s pretty clear that the $2500 up charge is for the added energy and calmness it will bring to your life. Or more likely it’s to pay the salary of the person/people hired to write this ?

There's an up-charge of $2500 for Rivian Blue.

Some auto companies have an extra-premium paint that costs more but also has extra layers of paint and fancy technologies in the layering.

So what's the deal with Rivian Blue? Are we paying for the privilege of blue, or is the paint a better, more fancy, richer, thicker, higher quality paint?

Same question for Yellow too, I suppose.

Judging by the photos I don’t care for the color. Maybe in real life it would look better but its not for me.
My favorite color is blue but this shade looks kind of pastel.

Someone who saw it in person described it as more of an "Air Force Blue." So maybe this?

Which is your favorite? I think I've settled on El Cap with the standard 20's

The more I read on this forum as well as daily news on EV production I am becoming very disillusioned about their corporate culture with people who have supported them for past 3-4 years like myself.... They pushed deliveries back for many reasons but first and foremost is the AMAZON delivery trucks causing all this.

Not intending to defend Rivian, as I am as disappointed as anyone with their horrible communication and misleading (lying anyone?) announcements through the years, but hasn't Amazon supported Rivian far more than all of us retail customers combined? Something about $5 billion.

We ordered the Rivian Blue R1T. We don't think that it is worth a $2500 upcharge, but that's the color we want. We have a November, 2018 pre-order. We don't appreciate being pushed to the end of the line because we chose the Explore Package.

I am also disappointed in Rivian's lack of response to two emails that I had sent to them with questions.

Wonder how many more times you can bring this up.

Posting the same thing across multiple threads is often regarded as spam.

It reminds me of BMW Leguna Seca Blue.
