And you also got a heaping pile of cool points. Good job.I changed to red canyon and it moved me back to early 2024 which sucked then I got a confirm config today so I don’t think it matters.

I changed from Limestone to Red Canyon once I received the confirmation email (in November); it cost me about 6 weeks but am VERY glad I swapped. I did have access to the Rivian Shop for a little over a month but my combo was never in it. Once you wait this long a few weeks or couple months isn't the end of the world imo.I'm 1 year+ in on the wait for an R1S with current ETA of 2024. Does anyone know if a color change now will make any difference ? thinking about changing but don't want to adversly effect my place in que.... what to do ?
I'm waiting on a Limestone but saw Canyon Red at the Rivian event the other day. It's an awesome color, congrats! I'm about to make a change to add the underbody shield but I'm still supposedly "Getting it" in July-Sept '23. Not sure how much it would push me back but was told it wouldn't...I changed from Limestone to Red Canyon once I received the confirmation email (in November); it cost me about 6 weeks but am VERY glad I swapped.

Thanks, it looks completely different in person as most of the colors do. I assume you've been able to see Limestone in person? Which wheels are you going with?I'm waiting on a Limestone but saw Canyon Red at the Rivian event the other day. It's an awesome color, congrats!

Yep, I saw my exact config, Limestone R1S w/ OC and Black 20's at the Manhattan event that Rivian just had. I think Canyon Red was my 2nd fave and they mentioned that they were getting rid of Compass Yellow. Forest Edge interior was pretty sweet as well but I wish they were outside with the light hitting them to really see the colors. I saw Canyon Red inside/outside along with LA Silver, El Cap. Comical that they left a R1S in the high ride height and people were struggling to get in it.Thanks, it looks completely different in person as most of the colors do.

My current only regret was cancelling the underbody shield, I did so to not have the add'l weight along with the fact that I will never rock crawl. But with some issues that have arisen with the "standard" protection worry me.
Great combo! I've not yet heard that Compass Yellow was getting the ax?Yep, I saw my exact config, Limestone R1S w/ OC and Black 20's at the Manhattan event that Rivian just had.

I spoke to a bunch of the Rivian engineers who said the shield there would be no difference in drive quietness but they'd happily take my $1700. I'd hardly ever offroad but couldn't hurt to have it and the rumored potential quietness but I'm too chicken to make the change despite them saying it wouldn't affect the delivery date.
