A lot of shade thrown at Catalina Cove in recent threads, but I am absolutely on board for this 😍

Didn’t realize the negative feedback of Catalina Cove, I’ve read many positive comments regarding this new color.

The color is great and isn't white black or a shade of grey, so I'll take it, would love an orange, red, and yellow added to the mix, but the blue and purple are the 2 best colors they have for the R2s right now, in my opinion...

I was leaning purple, but the CC is really growing on me, gonna be a toss up and probably availability that makes the decision for me...

Is that area really the "plant delivery zone"? I've been there (and will be there again this weekend), and just thought that was the main entrance to the factory.

The problem in the photos is that Catalina Cove looks like 4 different colors in various lighting. So the concerns are uncertainty that it might be a touch too green day to day for people who want it a little more blue day to day.

I'm going to wait it out and check out all these colors in person before I make a decision.

That is the front of the building main entrance. 3 years ago they had a delivery building in the back of the facility. Not sure if it is still there as there has been so much construction since I picked mine up.

When I took delivery of my R1S at the plant, I met them at this main entrance but was driven to a building on the north end of the plant for actual delivery. Nicely done

I think some people (myself included) are disappointed at how dark it appears in some photos. I'll reserve judgment until I can see it in person but it's probably my #1 color pick at this point because it isn't gray, white, or black.

What's wrong with green? Hmm 💚

Reminds me of 4 years ago when people were saying that they'd NEVER get Limestone because they didn't want a "robin's egg blue" car.

So maybe don't read too much into the pictures or what people say in the internet - judge for yourself.
