Nice those rims do look like they may be a bit smaller. Not sure they are 18" though. One can only hope.

Looks fantastic and I think the market will grab this thing up.

There's nothing really like it in the market, so I think it's going to be immensely popular. In a sea of rounded, crossover/wagon looking EVs at this price point, surely there are people clamoring for something fresh.

Looks great. Unusual appearance and they did not make it weird like cybertruck. The paint scheme should be an option along with solid colors

I'm wondering if the colors on the wrap are all very similar to colors they are going to have on R2.

The orange and yellow seem similar to the other recent "R2 D2" sighting. Could be wrong but that looks close to Laguna Blue (R3X) and Cloud White also.

Rivian continues to have THE BEST prototype camo in the industry. I like this one but the original is so good Rivian could sell it.

Almost look like the 20 AT “staples”

Smaller wheels = longer range.

Not necessarily, smaller wheels are lighter than larger. If designed correctly they should increase range.

Less rolling resistance too, requiring less energy to move.
