Seems like the Head of Colour and Material Design has left after only a few months on the job according to her LinkedIn page. She had quite the resume with Porsche, Mercedes and Volvo before.
Was there much for her to do since the colors (interior and exterior) and design elements were chosen years ago. I am joking a little but she had no input on the vehicles we have been seeing for the past few months.

Although a crazy neighbor once explained that "You can't drink all day, if you don't start early!" Don't know whatever happened to him. ?

That's hilarious! You know, once we actually have our R1T's and R1S's tucked away and charging in our garages at night, there likely will be a sense of prosperity setting in.

Sorry I don’t have a pic to share, but I have to say that I gained a newfound respect for the design decision of the stadium/racetrack shaped lights.

I was driving on a local road and I instantly knew there was a Rivian heading towards me because of those lights from at least 1/2 mile away. I was neutral on the shape until this encounter and now I’m firmly on the FOR side. It turned out to be an R1T in El Cap with a tent mounted above the bed.

I find it very exciting to see Rivians driving around and I don’t care who is driving them: employee, reviewer, investor, customer, etc. It’s not a matter of IF we will be able to get our Rivians, but WHEN. That’s a lot more than other EV startup customers can say!

I've had a similar experience. I was originally pretty "meh" on the lights, but they've grown on me. I saw them in person at the Bellevue service center recently, and think it looks great.

Looks like an OC, CA delivery, has temp CA tags on a new flatbed with Rivian LLC on the door. Harbor Blvd. in Costa Mesa heading towards Newport Beach, no Rivian facilities in the direction he was driving.

Love those dark 20" rims, definitely my favorite of the lot by some distance.

Of note on the CA temp tags: My Washington State Mobile First Drive R1T had temp CA tags on it...

That is interesting. I wonder if it was an employee’s vehicle they are using for test drives?

The temp tag means it has been registered in the state so it can no longer be sold as a new vehicle, if they sell it it will be sold as used. It also means that the registration and sales tax has been paid, not something a manufacturer would normally do unless they are using them for a loaner fleet. I doubt they would put the black wheels on a loaner.

I mean, they used their premium paint option (the $2,500-a-pop Rivian Blue) to paint all their factory robots, so ?‍♂ wouldn't put this past them!
