Although I still think some of the less popular colors might initially be before others. Wouldn’t they want to fine tune the process and train those new employees before ramping up the numbers for the more popular colors? Launch Green first then Compass Yellow, then…
I like your thinking

Wouldn’t move away from a color I liked simply to get it faster, but I’m still very much in the fence about color. Currently have Launch Green configured, but also contemplating El Cap Granite, White, Silver and Limestone. Looking forward to seeing the, all in person. “Very soon.”

I am pretty set on yellow, but I need to see it. Yellow is one of those colors that can look really good or really bad. If I don’t like it, I will switch, but not because I will move up in delivery time. I am actually ok not getting mine until later in the year.

I'm 100% set on Black Mountain interior.

Exterior is currently set to white, but I really want to see more of:

  • Limestone
  • Red Canyon
  • And of course the infamous Launch Green (Unlaunched Green?)

I think Rivian Blue is awesome and I like that it seems different in all the pictures its like it has some color shift almost with its metallic. I would like to see an up close shot of the paint to see the flake in it.

Wouldn't change
EXACTLY my thoughts as well.

What color interior? I'm getting the Ocean Coast.

My second choice isn't offered, burnt orange/copper.

Third choice is LA Silver.

starting a meaningless thread to have a new one to obsess over while waiting for some "Guidance"

So how committed are you to your Configured paint color? If told by your Guide that a change to paint color would bump in your delivery by a solid month, what colors would you be willing to accept - and PAY FOR?

Mine is Launch Green presently, which I can only speculate (or hallucinate) about what that actually looks like. But to get my R1T rig a month earlier I would take in this order:
  1. Rivian blue
  2. Forest green
  3. LA silver
  4. Glacier white

Hard to imagine the remaining colors being "in-play" for earlier deliveries - sorry about that Team-YELLOW
We are getting to the point where some more transparency from the company about availability and delivery date impact would be helpful. Maybe a sample board with paint and interior samples can be sent to the RT1 LE group?

Rivian said the upcoming Summer events will include painted elements to judge factory colors. That's nice and all but why not go ahead and show some T's & S's with range of paints. This cannot be that difficult.

I don't want to be one of the first deliveries, b/c I expect that quality will improve as they work out the kinks of mass production.
