Will FE Interior go out of style?

[Engi_Nerd]

I don't love any of the three interiors. BM too dark, FE upholstery and headliner too weird, OC has terrible wood.

I think the FE interior will make reale a bit tougher short term. Long term could be more desirable. I'd prob switch from OC to take earlier delivery if it wasn't $2K. The biggest thing for us is just brightening the interior which is dark due to dark roof tint.

I had this concern with BM, too. I thought it was too dark and too monochromatic. However, my First Mile test drive was yesterday, in a truck with BM, and I loved it. It's not that dark (more charcoal in color) and due to all the different textures, there is some variety in coloring across the dash and throughout the cabin (although all technically pretty much the same color). I was ready to spend on FE for the past few months, but after seeing BM in person, I'm changed, and will save myself $2k to waste on something else superfluous

I have seen it in person three times.

No, it is going to me timeless. It is the combo of the wood and the greyish green that make is work. Much like cars with saddle leather always look great but beige leather is a disaster...

I was iffy about FE before I saw it in person, but like others have mentioned, it mostly looks grey with a little green tint. It's very subtle, but provides much more contrast in a good way compared to BM

Me thinks yes.

This is why Ocean Coast in an Explore trim is the best interior Rivian offers.

And it will only be owned by the most sophisticated / patient Riviots.

Looks at 1970s interior of home with green countertops…”Finally, it’s back in style! Thanks Rivian!”

Agree, I think it's the best looking interior!

We have FE with LG and love it. People that see it are very impressed with the color combo. Most of the cars on the road are white, Silver or black all with black interiors. It is just the way the sales manager orders cars at a dealership. They are easy to sell.

Soon, soon, soon. Maybe three months? Waiting……. S.

My thoughts exactly. Although I ended up going with FE.

I say 30-50 years from now Compass Yellow with FE interior will have the highest R1 resale value.

Agreed, assuming it had the solid-state retrofit.
