I agree! That’s why I initially selected it. But I believe it has directly affected my delivery date and have switched it out…. Will be interesting to see if my delivery date revises forward.
I totally agree it has. Seems like Q3 for releasing it in theory.

There's been one in the R1 shop for a week or two now.

I think the vinyl deliveries starting will coincide with an increase in the wood option pricing.

I agree with this. The wood option has to cost a fair amount more to produce, so I see then elevating the price premium for it at some point, or more covertly flooding the shop with the vinyl versions so one has to chose the less costly to produce vinyl or wait an unknown time for a wood version. Just seems plausible approach to me.

Here's a screenshot. I guess the shop inventory is still different for different people/locations.

Yeah the way I see it is the vinyl was originally for the cheaper Explore trim. They cancelled that and are slowly moving it into the regular Adventure time. Kinda similar to the Meridian audio branding going away. Basically cost cutting/price increase.

I have the ocean coast with ash wood, and have to say the wood inlays all over the interior might be thing that makes it feel most like it's a 90k vehicle. The seat details are great, too, but the wood... chef's kiss emoji.
