Not helpful for now but just in case for future reference: we have never had a vehicle that hides dirt as well as the Dune. (Seems obvious once you say it but was not something we expected.) If not for the windows I think you could get away with never washing it - especially with the color matching wheels.

If Rivian ever does a Dune R2 (and they most definitely SHOULD), or if you are thinking of getting a wrap, my 2c.

Edit: in case you were wondering ... R2 in glacier white from configurator, AI generated in Dune trim below.

The best color is Borealis, hands down. Lots of people stop me in parking lots and rest areas to talk about the color. Nobody will ever comment how great a black, white, silver, or gray R2 looks. I think Catalina Cove is the second best color. And I wish they offered Canyon Red as it was also striking
Yes I think Borealis is beautiful, I’d just be worried I get it and then change my mind after some time, but I get stuck since cars can’t be changed so easily. Happened with my iPhone choice last year, you can guess which color I had bought šŸ˜…

Orange is the best iPhone color for the 17 pro. Though if it came in Borealis, I would jump at getting one.

I don't know. I'd pick whatever color is closest to the color of the dirt in your neck of the woods.

Silver hides dirt the best, no question. I like silver on cars for that reason, but get whatever color you like the best. I got the forest green because if I waited to get a silver one, I risked loosing out on the $7500 rebate.

I like Forest Green, but it shows dirt like dandruff on a black suit.

I really like Forest Green, it’s a true green and you don’t see that often as a choice. Launch Green looks great too, not sure which I’d prefer on an R2.
