Southern border is too narrow for Idaho. Looks more like Delaware to me.
Ah, I think you've got it! I couldn't think of another state shaped even close, but you're the winner.

From the Georgia Capital building yesterday...
Trying to get HB460 passed so Rivian (and other electric vehicle manufacturers) can sell directly to consumer. Tesla is the only manufacturer allowed to in GA, currently.

Is it me, or isn't everything back there just too thick? the pillars are huge, the frame around the hatch, the arm rests are too. The sunroof seems thin as well. Proportions are way off. Seems like it could easily have 3 seats back there if they cut down on the thickness of everything side to side. it also greatly reduces cargo room. hopefully it's been changed for the better. I've got 2 minivans set up way better. Or maybe this is wide angle lens distortion?
Thickness of the pillars could be by design in case of a roll over. Remember that most of the weight is at the bottom of the vehicle because of the batteries. I am not an engineer but that is where my logic went. These are fast vehicles and I would rather have a safe and quality vehicle.

The more FG I see the more I think I may switch. I'll keep waiting but that green is so nice. I can't see how Launch Green is going to be nicer.

What I like about FG is on a cloudy day like that it looks like deep green, but on a sunny day it brightens up nicely. I am worried LG will look like mud in some conditions. I am a nut when it comes to colors. I went with Rivian Blue and am worried, under certain conditions, I will be driving a tiffany's box around.

I switched from Launch Green to Forest Green back to LG, back to FG. The last switch was after seeing the Georgia pics and vid.

I'm not a green guy, but I think I would go Launch Green...I think it will look tough.

I do love Forest Green on the R1T though, and think it is the more "classy" looking green.

I don't tweet or igram, but I do wish RJ got avalanched with social media requests to reveal the real Launch Green paint scheme. They can't still be formulating it. What could possibly be a downside to a public reveal at this point? o_O

The more people they can keep distracted with what LG is supposed to look like, the less people there are to ask the more important questions ;)

I wish they would just make Forest Green the special Launch Edition color. Not that I don't want it to be available on regular production models, but they've been showcasing it for so long that it deserves a special distinction. They can make a different color green (like perhaps the color intended to be Launch Green) the general production green.

Exactly... Like warranty. Anyone think factory warranty coverage might be nice to know for LE customers that plan on adventuring with a brand new $75K contraption this summer.

Unless they go away from the industry norms (unlikely):
3 yr/36K bumper to bumper (possibly 4/50K)
Powertrain 5/50-60K
Battery 8/100K (with 70% capacity for degradation)

I can't see them offering a shoddy warranty that would make customers cancel. Knowing before finalizing an order is crucial. Until then it concerns me not at all.

Have any of the wild sightings been LG? I haven't seen them.
