Took delivery today of Rivian #5.

Tri-Max
Storm Blue
Ocean Coast
22” Sport Dark
Black Crossbars

It’s a beautiful color. Pictures truly don’t do it justice.

Punch Items
- Have a slight dent in driver door. So slight you can only see from a certain angle with the sun hitting it. We had a hard time finding it again…will open a ticket and it was noted on delivery ticket. Looks like a door ding.
- Have a slight dent right behind driver side rear door where it curves to the window. Ticket opened.
- 1 clip for weather strip was broken. Ticket opened.

General Observations
- Panel alignments are perfect.
- This is my first Ocean Coast. Feels more luxurious than Black Mountain.
- the driftwood is completely different looking in person than what it appears to be online. As someone else commented, it has a lot of
Blue veins in the driftwood. I think it would be better without the blue veins…but we will see if it grows on me. The bronze accents actually work better than I was thinking from the other online review. My only comment and suggestion to Rivian is they should show more of the real finishes for the Interiors. I had no idea it had bronze accent until the video posted the other day. (Unless I missed it in the build notes)
- Love the plaid on the seats.
- The plaid floor mats are interesting…was not what I ordered…but before mine was built they killed the heather grey. No communication on this until I asked once Richmond sent me pictures before delivery.
- First Enduro motor R1, drive around the block was smooth and quiet. Les’s motor noise compared to Gen 1 Quad.
- AC is much quieter. (About 82 in Raleigh today)
- Did not play much with the dynamic roof yet…it’s like you are in the clouds when activated.
- did not play with Audio system yet.

Richmond SC
- Bryce and the Richmond team have always been great to me. Overall, great at communicating and flexible when I ask for pictures once they receive.

I leave to go out of town for a few weeks tomorrow so for now, right into the garage for a hibernation until I return. Will probably have more to say once I get back and can play with it some more.

Congrats. So custom order and not one chosen from the shop?

Probably answers my question about if mine will arrive to plaid mats too. I chose dark mats like you did.

There are plaid accents in more places that I expected before seeing the guys review with the white one the other day.

those are good with me. The mats are just weird.

Will be replaced with all weather at some point.

Looks super nice, thanks for posting. I'm considering a Storm Blue tri-motor R1T with the Sky interior. Wonder what it would look like with Stealth PPF.

I’m on the fence about matte.

I have a PPF shop and when I get back I’ll put a piece on and take a pic and share here.

I have 2 in El Cap I wrapped in Matte, and 2 GW with no PPF.

Very nice selection from Rivian. If you need someone to babysit Stormy while you are out - let me know (I'm in the triangle)! I just picked up an R1S (Dual Motor, large+, limestone) from Richmond last Friday in the pouring rain so my inspection was pretty much aborted.....

That would be great. I was actually leaning towards El Cap in matte but the Storm Blue looks super nice too. Would love to see a pic when you get a min. Thanks.

Very nice!... I like the Storm Blue with the Darkout. The Driver side front mat looks like the Chilewich in my R1T. Do you have half Chilewich and half Plaid? Did you consider the Slate Sky + Walnut when you ordered?

the driver may was only on top of the plaid so delivery didn’t mess up the plaid.
Did not consider slate sky…the walnut was not for me.
