TIL this paint is called Borealis Purple and comes with the upcoming Quad, featuring Ascent parts.

More to come as I dive deeper...
They need a little more black tint to it and call it
wait for it

I was looking at the Explore the Quad R1S page last night, just fine - and right now, 10:03a EST, the page is missing all the main content!

Is it being updated?!

[Edit]

It's back, it appears to be new! Well, no, maybe it's not :D

Hahaha, I was excited for minute :CWL:


!! I HAVE HAD TOO MUCH COFFEE !!

I could get away with that purple ...big Baltimore Ravens fan here. Throw some stealth PPF on that FTW.

How long did you work on that? Haha
It was the first thing that popped into my mind when I read the post by @Rividiculous this morning but I had read the other 9 pages to make sure I wasn’t duplicating someone else’s joke.

Leasing Tesla Model 3 until Rivian R3X comes out.
Well you weren't around in the 90's lol. I feel like I saw many a Geo tracker with similar color schemes.

I would buy that color in an instant. Not that it is my favorite in any way, but just to help reinforce to OEMs we don't want all white, black, and silver vehicles.
I can stand all of the neutral colors, but then they charge so much for anything else. Then the automakers say everyone only wants neutral colors. (-_-) It’s a vicious cycle.

While not my first choice, I like the purple and I’m curious about the new QMax so it wasn’t like that was the only reason I was reading.

I applaud any true colors being offered since I’m tired of car companies offering just grayscale and “colors” that are so dark they look black in anything other than direct sunlight. If I was shopping for a new car and the colors on offer were black, color-tinged black, shades of gray/silver, white, and purple then I’d be happy driving a purple car.

I wish Rivian’s red was…well….red. I would have loved a Porsche, Ferrari, Audi-shade of red.

I happen to like their Canyon Red, but I completely understand what you mean. We had a 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 in Velocity Red which was gorgeous. Had a really nice metallic flake or fleck and I wish I had a decent picture of it.
Rivian R1T R1S Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon... 1740079989754-ls


I could see Rivian going to a more pure red and also offering an orange.

I’d go for metallic orange with either Ocean Coast or the new interior shown in the California Dune reveal in a heartbeat

As posted on Reddit (photos below), a purple gen2 quad was spotted with manufacturer plates. Any thoughts? Seems like the quad is coming soon. Hopefully... as they unveiled it awhile ago but haven't really shared much info on range, availability, options, etc.

I like the out-of-the-box color thinking. I REALLY went radical with mine….WHITE! Haha
I went back and forth Glacier White and El Cap.

Despite working in construction, I couldn't bring myself to go "Contractor White" even though it looked incredible.
