That wood on the front looks great.

How Rivian is doing I still don’t get but with all this combined color options they make all of us happier. Everyone here enjoys their choices.

Got one out of the shop, a little different than planned and glad we did. Picked it up at the factory which was awesome. Drove home and it was great. Tried to charge at an Electrify America station down the street from my house and the "pumps" weren't working. Got a super slow charge at home and found out how slow and fast charging could be at paid stations.

Drove it down to Indy for the race weekend and played around with EA chargers a bit. Aside from the pain of charging truly being real, everything was great. Rides nice, a little firm, but we've got a Wrangler Rubicon, so normal for us (nicer obviously).

Put almost 1,000 miles on it since Tuesday. Everyone who's seen it loves the look. Did I mention we like it? You should get one. 😁Like pick one from the shop if you have that option, seriously off to a great start.

I like it! The Spinach Omelet. Still configurable.
Hmm, I was pretty sure that was one Rivian had decided to drop. Perhaps they had a change of heart.

This may be a stupid question, did you get charged a destination fee?

Congrats! Love this color combo. It's my first choice at this point if I can manage to get it. The wood looks so good. (twss)

Yes you still get charged a destination fee if you do factory pick up

Beautiful combo. Mine is Limestone + Forest Edge. (Wife doesn't like green and couldn't jab a thumb in her eye and get both!) I'm still obsessed with the Forest Edge, it's perfect.

Is that the Jewel in Lake Zurich? I used to live in Barrington.

When I did the factory pickup last September, I got a free smoothie from their employee snack bar, but that was it.
We got some free coffee.
I bought a water bottle in matching color and tried to buy a sweatshirt, but they were out of stock... so they shipped one to us for free. Too bad the water bottle wasn't out of stock too :p

Man I was gonna get double forest but opted to get my truck faster. I don't regret it per se but it is a *great* combo. Congrats on your S!

How do the crops look in Indiana? (It's a farmer thing.) More on topic ... during your factory tour (I assume you got a tour.), could you discern whether production has started for S's with the vegan leather accents (aka, vinyl dash)?
I saw an R1T with Black Mountain vegan leather accents in the R1T shop earlier today. There was just the one, though. I’d say the production is just starting.
