Hey all,

First post here as a long-time fan, and hopeful owner of one of these great vehicles! My wife and I happened to be in the area (08/14/22) and we decided to take a quick detour to see if we could view any Rivian products "up close".

We had absolutely no idea what to expect, but to our surprise, not only were there numerous "real" R1T's scattered throughout the "front" and "side" (pictured) lots, I felt we hit jackpot even just seeing a R1S (Launch Green) conveniently parked right next to a R1T (Forest Green) - both were within a section of the lot marked for PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) and featured rear-view mirror placards indicating that too! It was nice to see both shades of green in person and compare the two. We didn't stay too long but I managed to snap just a few quick photos to share with you all.

My personal takeaways:
  • I'm regretting big-time not securing a Launch Edition, that Launch Green is gorgeous
  • Limestone is fantastic in person, I was able to confirm thanks to the sticker indicating said color on what appears to be an existing customer vehicle
  • Loving the size of the R1S, and it looked pretty roomy!

I'm a rather late reservation holder, so it's going to be *a long time* until I get a chance to configure anything, but figured I'd share my excitement with you all - in case this was someone's truck they were soon going to take delivery of.

As the driver of a LG FE T, I have to agree with OP. LG is something special on these models and glad I chose it.

My wife totally doesnā€™t ā€œcare about carsā€ and she gravitated towards the LG color, I never paid much attention to it because the configurator and renderings donā€™t do it *any* justiceā€¦

Edit: typo

2023 R1S Limestone - Forest Edge - 21"
I swung past today too! In addition to what you photographed, the back lot had around another 20 trucks lined up. I've been seeing a ton on the road lately. Just this weekend driving around Oakland/Berkeley I saw two Limestones, a blue, and an El Cap.

I like Launch Green until it's parked next to Forest Green, at which point it looks too drab.

Hah yea I feel the same way - almost like the printer ran out of ink or something. But to be fair that could be said about any light vs. dark color. Both colors look great in well-lit situations though, with FG edging it for me.

I personally think Launch Green is okay, not a big fan of Limestone, and find Blue/Red/Forest to be the 3 colors that really make the Rivian pop. It looks much more regular in the other colors (yellow is the only one I haven't seen in person).

I had my First Mile event last week and saw it sandwiched in there as well. All those vehicles are delivered and awaiting prep. So itā€™s a customer car - canā€™t wait to see it on the road!

I think LG looks better in the shade than in full sun. It looks more complex and less washed-out. That being said, I'm likely sticking with LG.... probably.

I agree - more complex, less washed out, but also less "green" in the shade. That was my one qualm with it when I saw it in person, and what prompted me to switch from LG to FG. Still a nice color but FG is just more ... green, and that's what I realized I wanted. I think šŸ˜†

When I rode my bike out to Normal in early March, I needed to see the actual color of LG. I was lucky enough to see one in bright afternoon sun then the next morning with clouds. I changed my configuration seeing the difference and went for Forest Green. I still look at it every time I walk by and am glad I changed.

No idea what is so appealing to people about LG lol. Forest green looks so much better to me.

wasnā€™t a fan of launch green at all, then i saw in person and it is terrific, the ā€œpopā€ colors are pretty epic though iā€™ve never seen yellow in person.
I do not regret getting FG though itā€™s amazing
