Matte Saffron Yellow Wrap R1S

Love it! If I never see another boring "we offer our car in six different shades of gray" manufacturer again, it would be too soon. ?

Reminds me of Dolly Partons coat of many colors

Or the technicolor dreamcoat…

Looks fantastic! My 2025 R1T is in default silver, which is fine..and boring.

I’ve never wrapped a vehicle - how durable are they? For example, if I brush some branches on a trail is the wrap going to show the scratches more significantly than the clear coat? Also, if you don’t mind sharing, I’d love to know roughly what it cost to get done. Looks like they did a pretty top notch job - I’d settle for nothing less!

If Rivian was charging $2500 more for LA silver people would be waiting in line for it.
Many including myself like it as the best available color. HIO SILVER, AWAY.

I think you've found the perfect wrap color of the R1S. Kudos, I love it.

All the cool kids drive LA Silver.

Looks even better with PTC installed and closed.

In fairness, the tail wags the dog here.

Auto companies spend a ton on fashion research and focus groups to plan the colors for the upcoming year. Remember how the matte colors (starting with the matte gray, that looked like the car was covered in Bondo) just started appearing about 8 years ago?

The research told the car companies to skate to where the puck was going to be. Likewise, multiple shades of “gray” (LA Silver, Limestone, El Capitan) are due to the expectations of the customer base—it’s cost-ineffective to produce cars in a color nobody wants. Tones of gray are still in demand with buyers.

Fashion in a wheel, and probably 5 years from now the hot package will be loud primary and secondary colors. Bright R, B & G, plus orange, yellow, and gold, plus white and black. Your gray-tone car will look out of place then.

Others I talked to have said $5000. That is about the same as a medium paint job. I have heard that it does not scratch as easily because it is softer/tougher. But it only lasts about 5 years, can become impossible to remove, and damage the paint underneath if you leave it on longer.
As to resale, if the buyers knows about the short lifespan then it will not help at all. So you wrap it because you like it, not because of resale.

There’s no way you can get a decent paint job for 5k. And removal is easy at 1/5 the cost

This looks awesome! Bring Compass Yellow back!

I see the "new colors for 2025", but seeing as the last time they offered new colors those colors were...dark gray and dark blue gray...I don't have much hope.
