2022 Rivian R1T
Occupation
Civil Engineer
There's still hope that some more borealis will appear in the R1 Shop. When borealis disappeared from the configurator, the R1 Shop showed no R1T available and only a coupe of R1S with black mountain/brown ash wood. Last week, one R1T appeared in the shop, and a couple days ago an R1S with ocean coast/driftwood and 22" super sport (one I was looking for) also appeared. I'm taking the R1S and trading in my R1T Tri motor, with delivery in three days.
A very big MAYBE
just maybe R1s are getting slim because all resources are being allocated to R2

They still need to produce and sell R1s as much as they can

Leasing Model 3 until R3X comes out, but now I have an R2 reservation as well.
Good look at the R2 in R2-F1P droid wrap

Rivian Six R2 Launch Colors Confirmed by tate16t? {filename}
Looks awesome. Mark my words, these R2 production test vehicles are previews of the upcoming solid launch colors. There will be:

Cloud White Metallic (seen on front, side, and C pillar)
Black Metallic (seen on front, roof, A pillar, B pillar, D pillar)
Dark Silver Metallic (seen as trim throughout vehicle)
Light Silver Metallic (seen as trim throughout vehicle)

And the brighter colors seen on each test vehicle’s front and rear bumper, hood, sides, and wheel.

Deep Blue Metallic
Deep Orange Metallic
Rivian Green
Some shade of Yellow

Just a theory, but I hope it’s true.

Honda Ridgeline to R1T
Loving these asymmetric single spoke color highlights ala R2 on the hotwheels/matchbox wheels. I’ll be doing that to ours.

Thoe are R1s.
You can tell by the elongated shape of the headlights, which I am still not a fan of by the way. However, I will concede that the stadium headlights do look better on the R2 than they do on the R1 – the aspect ratio is better. But I still think they look ridiculously comical.

Spotted by @keyon_m6 was this R2 with its liftgate rear window lowered. Dogs rejoice! 🐶

Isn’t it dangerous for dogs to do that, or do you have them leashed so they can’t jump out? I guess it’s better than them sticking their heads out the side and drying out their nasal passages.

I mean, one the one hand, it looks good, but on the other hand, it does looked dated to me for some reason -- or is it that I am just so old, where to young people this seems like a fresh new color?
