Welcome to Half Moon Grey, now available on R1S / R1T and R2

The online configurator is showing the base R1 model with only three color options (LA Silver, Glacier Wt & Forest Gn). Has it always been like that?

I think it gets a lot more complaints here because Rivian came into the scene with colors. It was fun, part of the brand ethos, at least we thought.

It wasn't scared to do yellow. Not gold or reddish yellow. Yellow. Not metallic blue or some variation of gray blue or navy, but blue. Red with an orange tinge. Green that is green not gray green.

And freaking purple.

I would never buy the purple but I'm glad its being offered. I find it less offensive than our third shade of gray. I think most Rivians fans would agree.

General population, most people don't care. What's the free color? Cool. They'll take that. Us Rivian fans like our pops of colors.

HMG is offensive because we would have taken any other color on the rainbow over another gray. Just give us El Cap Granite again and call it a day. This is a nothingburger. I can give Rivian a lot of passes but this is just silly.

I find it offensive that you find Borealis offensive when you're complaining about a dearth of color pop on the Rivians.

The Standard trim? It's because it's going away. R1 will have only Large and Max packs. So the colors you see are all they either have left, or are going to make in the last few runs...

I think the last time I looked at the "build Yours" config for the R1, there was ONE color for the Standard trim.

Why is Rivian using the British spelling to describe a place in California?

You know, I hate that I "know" this, but I am sure it's no accident, and so are you. It's a conscious marketing decision by Rivian to continue to position the brand as "upscale" because for whatever reason, many equate whatever we associate with "British" with attributes of class and old money and all that other cultural baggage you know but you might not know that you know it.

I would not go so far as to say that all marketing is manipulative (or, ok, maybe I would) but yeah. "Say, which spelling of Grey/Gray should we publish?"

Subliminal? Insidious? You decide, but it is disturbingly effective.

I am interested in seeing Borealis but in some photos it looks very dark and almost black - hence the complaints about it and wanting relatively bright colors.

Your stripes are bigger than my stripes.

I have El Cap and like the color.

HMG appears darker but just as nice.

I want those dark emblems for my R1S!

I think you misunderstood my post. I never said the purple was offensive, just not for me. I'm glad it exist and gun to my head if I had to choose between Borealis and the current 50 shades of gray options, I'd go Borealis all day.

Absolutely sweet ride by the way.

My post was in jest and wasn't serious!

Oh, that's a stellar little design enhancement!
