Mfgr Camouflage R1S Spotted - why the camo?

[foxerson]

Spotted a camouflaged Rivian this morning on I280 southbound this morning. Manufacturer plates. Presumably headed for the Rivian Palo Alto offices. It looked to me like a standard R1S. Presumably a test vehicle for software or electronics updates. Unless some eagle-eyed forum member can identify a cosmetic change from the grainy drivecam captures, I can't understand why they would bother with the camo treatment. Seems like it would be a lot more stealthy with a standard color scheme.

Gen 2 with a wrap, same wrap as pre-announcement. They haven't bothered to take the wrap off because it makes people look at it closer.

Guessing It’s a mule for whatever they are testing for R2 / R3

Or someone seeking attention.
