Launch Green looks fantastic on the R2.

Pirelli Scorps on the blue one. No thanks. Need more than 14k miles from tires.

Wife is absolutely drooling over the purple/Borealis.

R2 is 2k lbs. less so definitely a few more miles out of them

Catalina Cove has my heart, only need to decide on white vs. black interior

Get it if and when you can. The color option is only available on the Performance trim ($57,990). No word on how much it will cost. Maybe included on the launch model?

Anyone have a take on the interior colors:
Is the new coastal cloud lighter or darker than ocean coast?

@Katsudon Did Catalina Cove look more blue or green? I tend to see more green, but there's already two other greens inc. LG.

To my eyes, the video gives it a bit of both..... but I would call it closer to teal or turquoise overall.

She wants it on the R3. But that would require a new, larger garage (current one barely fits our R1T and a decent workbench) and some other stuff getting paid off.

In one of the teaser production videos a while back, I swear they showed a brown(ish) dashboard being installed. That would be a nice option down the road, also the concept car had a light blue tone interior...where's that?

Five color options on the Standard. I hope you like the German rainbow: Black, White, Light Gray (silver), Dark Gray, and Forest Green (That’s a secondary color, not a neutral, woohoo!)

Six color options on the Premium. All of the above, plus Teal (Another color, that’s also got green in it… It’s not bright, but I like it.)

Eight color options on the Performance. All of the above, plus Gray-Green (Because we didn’t have enough gray and we thought why not a third color with green in it?) and Purple (Ah, that’s different. I mean purple is like red mixed with blue. We couldn’t have made those separately?)

No bright colors. No warm colors. No warm interior colors. Color me disappointed. Hopefully we see some limited runs in the future. And not more shades of gray or green. Maybe by the time I take delivery in late 2027 there will be different options. If not I’ll take Forest Green. I’ve always loved that color. I had a car this shade when I was younger.

If you want Launch (Rivian) Green or Borealis you’ve gotta pay up. The Performance trim seems like a great value though if you’ve got $60K to drop ($57,990 + $1,495 destination = $59,485).

These are great videos - thanks. One thing I am curious about is if the back seats will recline. I haven't seen any reference to the rear seats reclining or not.

 

[tkauftheil]

Does the rear view mirror have fuel articulation or just single there the mirror connects to the arm?

Kinda sad. They had all those neat wraps and the droid colors, was hoping for something brighter and more interesting. Although I was pretty boring myself by picking LA Silver for my R1T instead of the Canyon Red. I would have picked Borealis if it would have been available when I ordered.
sigh...
