I mean, yeah, it's beautiful. I love it.

Added cross bars too to make it look more adventure(y)? Close up on that too. They are pulling out all the stops with this photoshoot. Hot.

I really have no need for crossbars…. Except for fetching a Christmas tree once a year. Will I spend $700 for that?

Ummmm…. Yeah.

Same. I will literally never use them.

But do they look cool on the R2? My brain has already decided. "Well, if the Esker Silver is free...so you save on paint...so the cross bars are basically free?"

Good move, Rivian. Good move. Did a great job at making me fool myself.

My RAV4 has cross bars also that I’ve never used but when I take them off, it doesn’t look as good so I just leave them on 😂

I was worried about the free color not being a good color to wrap (door jambs being visible with doors open, etc) but I think it's totally fine. Black is better, and I wish that was free, but this will be ok as well.

I did love the Silver in person, but my current car is roughly the same color, a tinge darker minus the flake, so I decided against it.

These photos are gorgeous.

This is the exact configuration on my order.

Have the R1S in El Cap and decided against going with Half-Moon for that reason, that plus the fact I have only washed the R1S twice in three years, so having a shade that looks clean even when dirty is a nice bonus. I also like the way the silver contrasts well with the black roof and lower body.

If my current car wasn’t a very similar silver color I’d be looking at getting this especially since it’s $0
Just to confirm; so after Launch Edition production is complete, Esker Silver will be the standard/no cost color?

I hope so, because I love it. And easy to keep looking clean.

I pictured the R2 looking nice in the Esker Silver paint so that was my initial reservation choice. I've never owned a silver vehicle but have always wanted one. It seems from the photos that the silver color highlights the R2 body lines really well and it looks so good with the black trim and yellow brake calipers.

Unfortunately I already own two silver vehicles, haha, so it won't be a fresh new color for me, but it does look great and silver never seems to look dirty. Since I'll be selling one of the silver vehicles, I would still have just two. But the white and the purple......mmmmm. I can't decide. A first world problem for sure.
