R2 Performance Launch Package Gets Costal Cloud Interior - Rivian Stories

[Jeremy3292]

Forest Green probably feels old to this forum as it was on R1, but it's not commonplace to the rest of us looking for our first Rivian. That's what I'll be getting! Super sharp looking

Is Launch green the ONLY color that will be an upgrade charge on LE?

Not how I read it, but I'm happy to be wrong.

"R2 Performance with Launch Package comes standard with our all-new Esker Silver, but there will be an array of colors to choose from. In addition to the option of Launch Green, customers can select all-new Catalina Cove, all-new Half Moon Grey, Glacier White, and Midnight exterior colors. Forest Green will also be available later."

The fact that we don’t have clarity on something as basic as this is a problem, but the general consensus is that Esker is free, everything else is an upcharge.

You're telling me. They won't even say how much upgraded rims, paint, or interior is. Why hold back that pricing when you told us everything else? Silly at best.

It’s a huge marketing L, people should be excited and able to confidently show people “This is the one i’m getting” instead of confused if they’re about to be nickel & dimed to death for the color they want (or if it’ll even be available)

Configurator will answer all. No reason to say something now that you'll have to backtrack on later.

Glad they cleared this up for those who were super wanting the white interior (shame no black headliner with it).
The should have gone with Red Canyon instead of Borealis - still time for them to correct that and add a proper bright(ish) color. Wonder why Borealis was cut when a six weeks ago they were showing it, seems odd.

I wonder how much later is later? Timing for me at least is important. I want the coastal interior and if the wait is only a couple of months then that cool as my lease is up in Aug I think.

Can I take them off now?

Coastal Cloud is a light gray, similar to the Ocean Coast in the R1 … not white. I’m guessing they changed name due to accent wood, but unclear.

I'm only partially kidding, but it's really just CYA legalease for when inevitably Gen3 diverges from Gen2 autonomy hardware. The timeline of when that is no one knows. Could be 3 years, 5 years, etc.

You could consider simply CYA legalese - and yes it is CYA.

But also a fair warning right up front that I find encouraging. And not necessarily limited to changes between Gen 2 and 3 hardware.

First sentence means once Gen3 is released it'll be deprecated

It's depreciated once you drive it off the lot, like all new vehicles.

Anyone familiar with how the configurator worked with the R1? I’m a late reservation just trying to understand if it will give you timelines based on different options (I.e. since I’m late would going coastal cloud not delay me since I’m late anyway?). Or is is just pick your options then you can never change. Am I able to start with black interior to see if it is an earlier date than switch to white interior? I know no one knows for sure just curious if anyone had experience with the R1

Deprecated not depreciated, although depreciated is true also
