Dark Moss... in some lighting it was fantastic, in others - poop. I'm hoping Launch Green is a deeper, flatter green. Otherwise, Forest is what got me hooked on Rivian in 2018.

Here's an interesting side-by-side of BMW's "Terra Brown Metallic" in their configurator vs. Launch Green:

Rivian R1T R1S Launch Green 1620326604761

Rivian R1T R1S Launch Green 1620326611996


Very similar, right? The BMW obviously has more brown in it, but otherwise in the same realm? Now look at this actual photo of Terra Brown:

If Launch Green is anywhere close to this level of light play with the brighter spots really showing off the green while the darker spots stay muted, I'm all in.

Seems to speak more to a crappy BMW configurator. I think it is doubtful launch green will be metallic and that if you've seen a WWII era Willys Jeep, you've got a pretty good idea what launch green will look like. However if Rivian rep is to be believed, final decision on what launch green is still has not been made or was only recently made so dog only knows.....
"so dog only knows....." I like it! It sounds like something from a Subaru commercial. ?

I mean, let's be honest, the Rivian renderings aren't winning any design awards either.

I have asked CS about this and they have always maintained that Glacier White is the only non-metallic color. I prefer a metallic Launch Green because that gives me the option of wrapping it down the line with a clear matte/satin film to achieve the Jeep look.

Haven't seen this wooden wrap before - they're always keeping us guessing :D

That freakishly large rear overhang should forever be known as a vehicle's "Cardashian". ?

Picture brings back fond childhood memories of a family road trip in my Dad's beloved Wagoon Queen Family Truckster which culminated in my first visit to Wally World. Simpler and happier times.....
I hear you… I’m the little one on the right. Every summer, we’d road trip, break down and spend a couple nights in St George waiting for parts to fix the car, then move on to Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
