Leasing Tesla Model 3 until Rivian R3X comes out.
Is it just me or does it look off-white? I mean sand can certainly look that shade, but I always think of it as having a warmer tone. At least the inside could have been warmer, or vice versa.

Color matched wheels. Distinctive Light Bar up front. Steering wheel with lots of actual buttons. Wide wheelbase. Screams badass.

This Dune SE has got major 93 Pontiac Grand Prix SE vibes baby! My first love and I miss that thing.
Power antenna and a button on the steering wheel to advance to the next song on a cassette tape (it searched for the brief silent pause between songs). Airbags AND antilock brakes. Moonroof (missing on the picture below from the web). 0-60 in a blistering 8.4 seconds on the 3.1L V6. This car was ahead of its time!
had the two door model, HUD (which was flaky), something like a 100 cd disc changer in the trunk, and all the buttons :D

Picking mine Dune R1T next week. Do I shiny PPF or matte (stealth) PPF?
Also having the same debate. I think stealth would look great.

We are expecting to get our delivery date tomorrow for my wife’s new R1S Dune. Gotta say I love it (though it’s hers and so what matters is that she loves it). And, yes, apocalyptic vibe for sure, but the times are what they are.

As much as I like my dual R1T and as much as it has “more than enough” power for me, imma think I’ll be borrowing this one on the weekends.

I know I'm in the minority here, but those wheels are definitely NOT my cup of tea. They look like what my wheels looked liked after I removed the hubcaps from my early '70s Chevy Chevelle when I was in high school. They're basic rims for God's sake!!!! Rivian has to love them....put an off white tint on some basic rims and upsell it. I'll crawl back into my cave now. If everyone's taste was the same, it would be a boring world. If you like them....go for it.

Sticking with shiny. Matte is going to look too much like a military vehicle. Also. Stealth only looks good in dark colors IMHO

Did someone say "WRAP" ???

To each their own, no disrespect, etc. etc. but that is by far the ugliest Rivian I have ever seen ? Beautiful canoe though!

Agreed with the other comments – was hoping for a darker/richer tan than what we're seeing here.
