Half Moon Gray Deliveries Suspended.

[DuoRivians]

Wherever/whoever is making the fascia/bumper entered the wrong formula or loaded the wrong paint elements.

Yeah, you’re probably right. That said, are the body components painted separately? I thought they would be colored in the same cycle, because even if it’s the same half moon grey, between batches, the colors could be slightly off. And painting them together helps ensure uniformity across the whole car…

Maybe the grey with the yellow doors was a mistake then....

The shell of the body is not painted in the same area as the body panels, otherwise paint quality assurance would have caught the defect before it left the paint shop. Most likely this might be painted by a vendor before it meets up with the shell for assembly.

This is likely something that final QA missed during inspection before it left for logistics and shipping. Mistakes are sometimes made and it's good that Rivian stopped to review this lot before it endes up into the hands of the customers(minus the one that almost made it).

I must be cursed, Half Moon Gray is my selected color. Does this mean delays. I might as well go with Esker Silver and save $1500. With my luck some LA Silver get mixed in.

I am glad this was caught. Rivian still needed to be doing better, by now.

To me a minor issue, to some, like this can have a very negative impact on sales, prospective new owner confidence. They mismatched a color. What else could be missed and then labeled as non warranty work?

I think folks need to stop defending Rivian so much. Knowing failures will happen.

I am holding on to my G1 Q T, beyond the warranty period. The stability and longevity of Rivian really matters to me.

If I don’t get my car this Saturday as planned I I’m going to chain myself to the factory doors

If I were Rivian, I would list it as a Two Tone Paint included with the launch package for a limited time and call it a day.

@Mos Eisley If I may, please allow me to assuage some concerns since I've driven my EV 12 years and 160k miles where the most expensive thing I had to fix was replacing the computer after 11 years. And my 85kwh battery still has about 85% of its life.
Based on my experience, you will find little annoying things that you'll want fixed. This is true for just about any car. And based on my interactions with the Rivian SC folks I think they will genuinely work to solve those minor issues. There's a non-zero chance something significant goes wrong and I suspect they'll jump to fix that. My MS had a noise in the electric motor after a couple years and they replaced that part no questions asked (yes, the motor which I think is like 8 grand). I think Rivian will behave the same.
The tradeoff is the remarkable experience, convenience and freedom. Experience from a drive standpoint; convenience from not having to deal with a dealership whose sole job is to extract funds from your account; and freedom from all those regular maintenance things like oil changes and brake pad replacements, etc. that will allow you to live your life.
You're making the right decision.

If they determine that front piece is a mismatched gray, it will likely be halted. With the reflection and angle, it's hard for me to assume anything in your current picture.
