ICE only :(
Being a pre production unit, what definitive conclusion could someone draw?
I very much want to see how production units perform - anything else is just noise that has the potential to confuse the issue.
I was mostly playing into a meme. I think charging rate photos are like the "Someone get a photo of the battery sticker!" in the early Model 3 test mule days.

Why must all of their colors look sooo good?!?!?
I am torn constantly between FG, Blue, and El Cap.

Thinking about this further I just realized I have no say in this. *looks over at wife*
Seems to me that youā€™re leaning towards Gumby Green. ?

Haha you're not wrong, I do love Gumby!

Edit: It's funny because I made that mockup on my sisters old laptop that has a reaaaaly crappy screen and the color did not look like that on her screen. Figured I'd keep it anyways lol

Why didn't he get the charging rate!!! (I noticed that the Rivian's displays are off, but shouldn't the charger itself show some info?)
We all had the same question.

Agree.

I'm between RB / OC, LG /FE, FG/OC...could make a case for all 3. I was afraid that the blue R1S was going to look like a FJ. The fact that LG is free makes it tougher. It only ends up being 500-1000$ diff. The hardest is the double Forest combo, as its $3500.

Iā€˜m doing forest green on forest edge, but thatā€™s only because mine isnā€™t a launch edition so canā€™t get launch green. Otherwise I would.

launch edition = launch green. Ask @DuckTruck ?

I'm currently in the exact same position. Still having Yellow/OC whispering in my ear in quiet moments though.......

Crash,

I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to get in early enough for the Launch Green, but the Forest Green was a close second for me. Close, but still not the one.

The mantra is still in my head:
"LG/FE/AT/4ME!"

Do yellow. If you donā€™t, who will?

I think I wouldnā€™t be able to even if I was early enough, because Iā€™m set on the larger battery. And, my wife likes forest green more. As the saying definitely goes: happy spouse - happy house.

On my wedding day, in the pocket of my suit my wife left me a gift. It was a handkerchief that she had hand stitched with... A happy wife is a happy life. Still holds true 12 years later!

I like Jeff Foxworthy's take on that sentiment.

"If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. And if she isn't happy for long, you'll be unhappy with only half of your stuff."
