That looks very much like it says “Meridian Elevation” to me

I really like that Matte Black on the R1T. I hope that's an option.
I'm confident that's actually the Launch Green, and it looks sick. Definitely changes in different light.

I'm less confident, though you are right the colors change a bit. In this picture you can see the green paint in the gear tunnel:

Has anyone else noticed what looks like a rock rail on other pictures of pre-prod R1Ts?

No, this video is definitely the first time I've noticed this.

It says Rivian Elevation....What looks like an "M" is 3 bars going up I think?

That is awesome... just curious now if that's going to be a forthcoming add on or part of the adventure package....

Edit: oops - I missed the quotes but this was in response to the Rock Rails in the video.

This seems to be a tiny brake light?

Two observations:
1) Camera to view what's in the bed?

2) LT 265/65R20 tires. LT tires are a bit much for a 6k lbs vehicle. My f-150 weighs about 6200 lbs and I don't use LT tires on it. I've bought LT tires on a Tundra before and regretted it. Braking and acceleration are worse. I lose fuel efficiency. And it's a rougher ride. The R1T will never get nearly heavy enough for LT tires.
I'm planning on the 20" wheels. I think my second set of tires will be a non LT, all-season tire. I bet the range gets much better, maybe beating whatever they get from the EPA on the 21" wheels.
