R1S Design Appreciation - Chonky Goodness

[Mister Person]

I just love this thing. Personally I find the design of most new cars these days to be over stated and gaudy. Everything looks like it was designed by a marketing committee instead of artists. But not the R1S. It's so chonky while also being modern. I friggin' can't wait to get mine (1H23). You'll think I'm nuts but I was playing around with the configurator and noticed that the colors transition. So I managed to get some screen captures during the transition for fun. ?

I present Torch Lake, Nebula, and Sandstone - new colors for 2023. ?

I was really blown away by it when I saw the prototype at the Seattle pre-order holders event in 2019. I know ours will be a bit different, since it’s gotten longer since then… but I can’t wait to get behind the wheel. I’d take it in Nebula

Man, those all look amazing. I'm sad the trend with car manufacturers is to offer fewer and fewer colors over time.

I'd take one in each of those (along with compass yellow, forest green, and Rivian blue). Just need a spare half-million dollars (gotta have some change under the couch somewhere, right?)

That "Nebula" color is right up my alley! What color combinations makes that transition?

Also, 100% agree with the design of R1S. I definitely think it will age well.

At least rivian has several real colours

The R1S is the superior looking vehicle of the two. It just looks less fussy. Where the cab ends and the bed starts on the R1T has always looked odd. I say this as someone who has an R1T on order. It has the better gimmicks.

Yes, exactly! It's one of the (many) reasons I couldn't see myself switching away from Rivian even with this weeks "excitement". Nobody else wants to make vehicles with color. Rivian has three I would love to own already. Even Red Canyon looks nice in photos, and I don't go for red vehicles.

Red canyon is beautiful. Have only seen a sample of it. But it’s real nice and is evocative of the geology it’s named for.
If I could handle something rivian sized in red I’d go for it. Same with yellow. I drove a yellow R1T…

All of their colours are great and pictures do not do them justice.

Really hope they go crazy and introduce orange for 2023. Or maybe Limestone will turn out to be orange... ??

Nebula is a mix of Canyon Red and Rivian Blue.

I totally agree. R1S > R1T (at least design-wise).

Wraps will be popular. The vehicle is relatively flat and slab sided.

Did you attend in the afternoon or the evening hailstorm time slot?

I must say that I was hesitant with the colors and wanted to go with a safe Gray of Black color. But when I drop I saw the colors in real life...what a huge difference, they all looked amazing. Until I got i drove a Rivian Blue R1T....that just took my breath away, so I have a blue R1S on order now

This is my #1 reason for wanting to see them in person. I'm reserved for Blue, but I need to see Canyon Red before my delivery in 6 months, hopefully.
