Freshly trucked up from the Mira Loma train depot!

My other half and I decided to swing by the Costa Mesa SC to confirm our wheel, interior and paint choice. We wanted to see everything in person since the lot was rather bare during my First Mile drive in May. I never had a chance to see 4 finalists for our exterior color choice.

We lucked out today. The lot was full of fresh R1Tā€˜s sprinkled in with 3 R1S models. They are currently getting software updates and going through QC to check for transit damage. Congrats to all of the new owners!

I am glad we stopped by as the SC had virtually every color R1T on the lot. The bottom line is that I changed my original GW/OC configuration as soon as we returned home.

We both instantly gravitated towards Limestone with a Black Mountain interior. The interior has a grey tint to my eyes and looked fantastic. They had not received an OC interior yet. We both felt the OC interior will show dirt and stains way easier than a darker color. We also didnā€™t care for the new darker wood that Rivian is switching to.

Our new configuration: Limestone/Black Mountain/20ā€ AT black forged wheels/powered tonneau cover/spare/cargo cross bars/rubber mats.

For those of you who ordered the $2k Forest Edge interior you are going to be pleased. It looks completely different than the Rivian online configurator. Itā€™s more of a light olive color and looks fantastic in person.

I also purchased a MiiR 20 oz. Limestone drinking cup while we visited the small store inside. Cheersā€¦

Can't go wrong with the BM. Its really nice and the subtle contrast in materials, though dark, looks really great. I would definitely suggest windshield tint, I did it on my Model Y and it was a huge difference. Will be doing on every future vehicle with dark interior.

Currently renting a R1T on Turo to get some more hands on experience after the first drive and its hot in SoCal so I can feel the heat.

I think the limestone with the 20 inch dark wheels looks awesome, I like the GW too, but the limestone definitely has more character.

I have driven white colored vehicles forever and thought I would shake things up on this vehicle purchase. The Limestone is still a light color so I went for it.

One was being delivered while I was visiting. I do remember they were all darker colors if that helps.

Nice configuration. That's exactly what sitting in my driveway. I am surprised at how many Limestone R1T's I see on the road. More than I expected for sure.

I have only seen one Limestone on the road so far. But when you buy a new vehicle you notice every model like yours on the road.
