It is an underrated color! I saw someone ordered it for their R2 and it was going to be a 12 week lead time vs 2-4 for the other colors. Additional profit margin is at stake.
Esker Silver is being waaaaaaayyyyyy under rated. It is a really nice color for being free. I feel it on a Performace is going to be rare and is definately a color option on my list. Even more if a darkout package becomes available later with Dark 21's. The letters will pop in contrast.
You bring up a great point and might be why they are moving the Standard up to Summer of 2027 in lieu of end of 2027. I question if that will hurt their capital gain numbers as the margins have to be thin.
Funny you mention LIDAR/RAP1 version...I asked the Rivian Assistant about that if I was able allowed to put in an order and it said it would be an option to select when ordering that would then drive future deliver of. Surprised Rivian is not asking that as a question in the app like they did on...
Ahh, IC. Good point. Yeah there are dealer(Stealer)ship laws in WI that doesn't allow Rivian to deliver to WI last I heard and discussed with a the Menomonee Falls SC Mngr. Congrats on the 2026 R1t by the way! Super jealous!
