R2 Paint Colors & Interior Colors Walkthrough -- First Live Look From SXSW Debut [VIDEO]

[Gen(R3)Xer]

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...

I’m disappointed in the colors, too. The German rainbow, plus three shades of green, and purple. WTF?!

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?

Two tone might be saved for the tri or later production

as a side note I always thought the launch editions would/should be more simplified for launching production

I think it's simplified in that initial production (LE) will only be the Performance model, still nice to have a few options.

The initial show car with the slate sky interior had more of an Ascent level trim, with leatherette + stitching on the airbag cover and some other slightly more premium details. Unsure if they plan to bring a premium interior + more colors as an option down the road…or decided it was overkill in this class.

I actually really like the exterior colors.

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

Looks lighter to me.

Some good choices, not sure why people like launch green so much. Seems a flat green/gray.

Call me basic, but I love the white with grey interior. So clean.

I'm disappointed that there isn't something similar to forest edge for the R2. It might be my favorite thing about my R1. I love the idea of a saddle brown or something similar between the extremes of white and black.

I’m disappointed there’s not a single bright-ish color in the palette. Why does every manufacturer have 5 shades of grey and then lack a true color? At least they have a couple of unique colors (the teal, LG, and Purple) but wish there would be a fun color like yellow or orange or even Rivian Blue.

I’m still waiting on the return of Corinthian pillow top tufted interiors

 

[VandalSibs]

Am I the only person that thinks that having Forest Green available on all the trims except standard is better that other auto manufacturers? Or am I just a little naive?

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

Not if they are the SCORPION ZERO AS
PLUS 3 NCS ELECT

It has a 50K miles warranty

My OEM Scorpions have almost 40,000 miles on them, and still 7/32 left. Consider that maybe your problem is your vehicle or your driving, not your tires.

I would be more careful picking a color. Silly me thought limestone (the rock) was gray/tan, not blue. I read limestone and I thought "I would like that color." My house is real limestone rock and I'm positive it isn't blue. I know what limestone looks like.
