Thank you for putting this together! Seen so many variations of Limestone pictures due to camera white balance. The daytime comparison to silver is perfect - I'm way more confident in sticking with Limestone now.
Hi Jay - yeah, the Limestone is a solid color. If it were available when I ordered my truck (and if I had actually seen it in person), it likely would have been my first choice. For me, when Mark and I saw the Limestone and Launch Green next to each other, that’s when the color finally settled in. They just feel so similar, even though they are a different hue. Glad this helped. Please share! Thanks.
I'm a year late, but I wanted to echo your sentiment...the difference on the website and in the video are quite different in regards to Limestone! Thatnks, RivianDad :)
Thanks for this video; my partner and I were chatting about colors and BIG TECH, blissfully, recommended this video. We're liking Limestone with Forest Green as a close second!
Yeah, that was my thinking too. When I test drove the white one, I knew I liked that color. Had too hard of a time deciding between all of the other colors! Thanks for watching!
Nice work getting all of this footage together! I had El Cap w/ OC initially. Between OC delays and seeing your R1T at the Golden meetup, I'm locked in now with GW and BM interior.
Ah, my config exactly. Nice choice. Can’t go wrong with White, and the BM interior is actually a really nice dark gray (as opposed to black). I do like the interior and it’s pretty kid friendly. I haven’t seen the Ocean Coast yet (which I hear is great) but I do like the BM interior more than the green, especially with a white exterior. Thanks for watching - Great to meet you last week!
Thanks for the side by sides! Every time I see the Silver it reaffirms my final color choice! Mine is at the local SC and pending delivery. Can't wait to see it in person!
You and your son rock! Thanks for helping us see all the colors. I was convinced to choose white since day one but the other colors are sure beautiful if you are into brighter colorful vehicles. Very nice nature tones. I have to agree with your dude that El Cap is my next favorite.
I'm still developing my ranking system but, like Pixar rankings, it changes with my mood. Top tier for me are: White, Yellow, Silver, Forest, and Limestone. Second tier, but close, are Blue, El Cap, Launch Green. Red and Black are my least favorite. But, everyone's rankings would be different.
My preorder is Rivian Blue with Ocean Coast but man that Forest Green with the green interior could be really nice. Keep these videos coming. You are doing a great job! Heading to the Venice Hub next week, cannot wait to see one in person.
I'm exactly the same Mitchell. I have blue with OC ordered, but I'm really thinking of swapping to the beautiful and sparkly Forest (my orig config) with the green interior, my friend picked up a Launch with a green interior - so nice!
Well done. I like them all aesthetically, but my two priorities are #1 what color heats up the least when parked in the sun and #2 what hides dirt, so I'm going with LA Silver. What I really want to see is the actual temperature difference betwixt each color when parked in full sun on a hot day.
I am now very confident of my launch green choice, very subtle and it is supposed to be a limited production run so should stay special for quite awhile. Thanks for doing the video.....
Thanks Howard, yes the launch screen is a wonderful choice. I considered it very seriously for a little bit. But it’s a really tough color to represent through a camera, so I figured that was a dealbreaker for me with the video channel. :-) If the light hits it right it has a really nice army green color. I like that.
People might be reminded that these colors are not all the same price. I just did my earlier delivery reconfiguration and should have the Compass Yellow in about a week now. It cost $2500 extra over what I had speced ealier.
Not sure the launch green is still available, but among the three it would be my third favorite anyway. Forest Green and Limestone are a tie in my mind. If you prefer a dark vehicle, then Forest Green is the way, for light, I like the Limestone or the White. Thanks for watching!
Oh man, that's a can of worms. :) Actually, for me it's fairly easy because I was set on having the 20s since I plan to take it off road more than long road trips. So, the choice is only dark or bright. I prefer the bright. One thing to note is that the 20 bright wheels have a little blue-gray in the finish, which is really nice. It's hard to tell from photos (which makes it look black). Thx for watching!
I would love to see the same video with the R1S colors. This is the best color video i have seen. now need to make sure that the body style of the R1S looks just at good in all the my top colors.
Thanks. Yeah, I've actually recorded a companion video with all of the R1S colors. However, I still haven't seen Red or Yellow in the R1S. Hopefully soon!
I wanted the Launch green but the only one available for me was Limestone gray. I do like it now after watching your video. I will be getting the R1T wrapped in military matte green anyway. To protect the paint and make it unique. 😎
@@DavidLeee no its close but not really. Mainly it's done for paint protection. Once I see the truck in launch green I might just do the clear front protection..
Scott, Thank you so much for the time and effort you put in for these videos. You are amazing to make the effort that sometimes is thank less. THANK YOU!!! QUESTIONS: My Guide says I will get my GW by end of June, if not sooner. Would you PLEASE share your paperwork experience that took place in Colorado? I have two questions. Q1. rivians MOD of having the MCO electronically sent to the CODMV is a major concern for me. On other purchases, the out of state dealer hands me my MCO and I take it to the County DMV myself, which leaves no room for error, such as address, taxes, licensing, etc. My guide says they send the MCO electronically. My concerns about the MCO are these: 1. I live in El Paso County but NOT in the City, so my sales tax rate is less because I do not have to pay city tax. One person in a forum said Rivian overcharged the sales tax which he is trying to unwind. 2. Another licensing concern is that I am entitled to Disabled Veterans(DV) license plates, which are at no cost to me and free from all registration fees. I am an anal person and I want to be pro-active during this titling process because I am concerned that my paperwork may get messed up because Colorado titling process is different than other states. I don't care about the temp tags process, but I MUST have DV plates and no city sales tax. Q2: I would NOT like to have this amazing vehicle delivered, instead I would like to pick it up at the Service Center. Reason is that I want to put the first miles on this beauty, aside from the necessary loading/unloading during transport. I asked my guide if I could pick up in Normal, IL but guide says NO. I appreciate your answers or anyone else who cares to share their Colorado Registration experience. I am super excited.

Hi Minicooper - thanks for your comments. I'm afraid I won't be much help on the registration item. I haven't done the CO registration yet. The truck was delivered with temp registration from Illinois. I'll come back to you when I've been through the CO registration system. I will say that a friend just received his truck and the temp tags were colorado tags, so something has changed in the system. For Q2 - not sure if this will change but I was not allowed to pick up at the service center. There are some licensing rules that they are restricted by. You will get the first miles though, because they'll bring it to you on a trailer. For me, they drove it to my house because I'm so close to the SC. You may want to double check with your guide that they will trailer it to you.
@@RivianDad, Thank you for your reply and telling me your experience. I have a VIN and started the checkout process. As anticipated, Rivian charged me for the tags, so I stopped the check out process and hope my guide can sort it out. Additionally, I talked with the CO DMV. The CO DMV solution was to pay the registration fees to Rivian and then during the titling process, the CODMV will tell Rivian that I overpaid at which time, I have to ask Rivian for a refund, CO will not do a refund. CODMV will not issue plates until all of the finances are correct. This is brute force solution and I don't like having to rewind because anything can go wrong. My guide is working on trying to fix it my specific issue. Last Friday, I went to the Denver SC and I met someone who told me that they also get IL temp tags. But CO DMV told me they I should get CO temp tags. Regardless, I want to move on as quickly as possible. CO DMV also said I could transfer my plates from my F150 to the Rivian, which will make it easier for me but I will still have to ask for refund from Rivian. Q2. Thanks for organizing the first Rivian owners group event. How do I become a member of the Rivian Owners Group. I signed in at Reddit but how do I get notices of a meet up? Safe adventures, Mike
I still love my Canyon Red; but I'm pleasantly surprised by Limestone, and think it's a color both my son and daughter would like. So, do I choose a color for me or for them? Such choices. One more big thank you for putting together this great comparison.
You are correct. In person, everything is quite different. I was not interested at all in Red Canyon or Limestone but was surprised just how much Limestone was pleasing to my eye and how much the Red Canyon popped in the sunlight. I am perplexed now. I guess one can't really go wrong with any of these colors.
Why did you do this to me!!!!! I was set on Rivian Blue, but now El Cap and Forest Green have now entered the convo! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't even get me started on what wheels I want! Reserved Sept '21, so I have a ways to go before I finalize.
As I said, all of the choices are good choices. For the wheels, that one was easy for me. As I plan to spend a lot of time on dirt, the 20s were the best option. And I do like the way the 20 inch bright wheels look. They are a little more gray than black. But with regards to the exterior color, yeah, I started with blue and almost took delivery of a blue truck, only to then have a restless night of sleep :-) until finally deciding on the white. It’s painful! Thanks for watching :-)
I'm still stuck between El Cap and Midnight. I have El Cap configured right now, but Midnight looks really good. El Cap will probably be more comfortable in the summer though.
I prefer the El Cap over Midnight - the El Cap is a pretty sophisticated color. It would work in lots of different light, and oh so sparkly. But, if you’re a black kind of guy, then I guess it’s Midnight.
Thanks for the video, having initially chosen limestone I changed my selection to forest green and your video just confirmed my decision was right, limestone is alike a nothing color. No manufacturer makes a silly color like that for a reason 😄
Super Helpful. I think Im going with the white, but Im also loving the forest green. My wife just got a green wrangler. Im just afraid of having two green cars. I wish the white came in Metalic.
Both are very good looking colors. I think it comes down to light versus dark. In my world, I would lean toward the light color since I grew up in Arizona where anything dark was too hot during the summer. I think for me, it’s just a habit. However, the green is a rich color. So if you’re not concerned about the heat difference, then green is the way. Although white is a classic. it’s a never ending mind game. :-)
thanks for sharing. so they just let you walk around the lot? at the Bellevue SC, its all behind closed fences and they won't allow us to walk back there. i told them i am a preorder holder and i can't decide on color but they wouldn't budge.
Luckily, the Denver lot is not fenced off, they do have a fenced area and will be moving many of the trucks into that area sometime in the future, but for now much of it is unfenced. So most of the trucks are available to walk up to. They do keep an eye on things, but they’re pretty cool about letting people look around so long as you don’t disturb the property.
What did you really think about the launch green with the forest edge interior? Thats my config, but I have never seen the forest edge, which makes me a little nervous.
I had a really hard time choosing my exterior/interior color choices. There were no options to see the variations in person. I wound up going for my gut and did Forrest Green/Forrest Edge. I get it at the end of this month!
Nice video, very helpful, ty and your son. I have yet to see an R1T in person, although I do have one on order, and an R1S also on order too. Thinking green or silver on the R1T with black interior and al cap and white interior of the R1S.
Love the videos. Suggestion -- the viewing experience isn't smooth and seems like your camera is recording at a low fps. Might be worth seeing if you can bump that up.
That Limestone really is a chameleon. Standing alone, it leans slightly blue in bright light (and next to Launch Green), but next to El Cap and LA Silver it pulled in more green undertones. I like it a lot, but I don't care for the baby/light blue that it may show (could be camera white balance). It's flatness/matte coloring is preferable, to me, vs the LA Silver but the silver seems to hold its color in various conditions better (which is probably part of the point).
Red Canyon is another color that look very good by itself but on my taste don't work with Rivian design. But in a vacuum I think I like that fiery orangish red the best. Maybe second best to Compass Yellow, which, damn, is not "my" color. I like the inspiration behind it (autumn afternoon), I like how it looks specifically on R1T - just too bright for my dark soul:(
Ya can’t decide between LA Silver and El Cap. I really would like to see them in person. I’m up in Kitchener Ontario. Just got an email that they are setting up service center in Vancouver. But need to confirm configuration by mid Oct. I have a silver F -150 and it really does hide the dirt.
Bummer you're not able to see them in person. All of the colors are impressive. Tough call between LA Silver and El Cap - both are very similar vibe (as far as the amount of sparkle) with one being darker of course. Advantages to the El Cap - I think it's a bit more unique. Advantages to the Silver - classic, hides dirt better than El Cap. Probably comes down to how dark you want your truck to be. Good luck!! Thx for watching and commenting.
I ordered a Forest Green R1T, and wished I could get that Launch Green, but after my first mile drive, I honestly prefer the darker Forest Green if I had a choice. The Launch green is too light/pastel for me, I'm very happy it's not flipped. Personal opinion. Also seeing the Limestone in person, it's horrible, you HAVE to see it in person before ordering it, it photographs badly.
@@RivianDad I think I agree with that.. Gonna go with the El Cap. Although it doesn't seem like my delivery will be until at least next year, so i have time to decide 😁 Also, can we get some more R1S videos? There isn't enough quality R1S clips on RUclips. Thanks tons!
Thanks very much for this, I keep wavering between Limestone and El Cap. El Cap feels "safe" especially because I worry about photos and videos where some light/baby blue comes out with the Limestone in full sun. It sounds like you're seeing that in real life, too?
El Cap transforms a lot depending on the light - but more of a “dark to light” transformation. Limestone transforms by reflecting nearby colors, not quite the same. If I had to pick between them, I’d go with the Limestone but mainly because it’s a lighter color. Thanks for watching!
How can Rivian have 10 colors. Even a established company like Tesla has like 5 colors in the US and can only do 2 colors in Germany and that one is supposed to be the best paint booth in the world. I know they can do more colors in Germany, but what is going on are they having major issues. Not everyone wants a black or white car. Nice job Rivian. Keep up the good work.
not sure how they do it, but I've seen multiples of all of them here in Denver so I tend to believe it. I hear that they can switch the color on the fly without cleaning the paint guns (although they do paint in batches). Thx for watching!
Thank you for putting this together! Seen so many variations of Limestone pictures due to camera white balance. The daytime comparison to silver is perfect - I'm way more confident in sticking with Limestone now.
It’s great!

Thank you. I got invited to the R1T store last night and had some last minute color decisions to make.
Couldn’t have done it without you!
This was one of the most helpful videos out there about Rivian colors. Now, back to the configurator!
Glad you found it useful. Good luck!!
Great variety of lighting conditions excellent to see the colors in different shots!

That limestone r1t w/ black all terrain 20" wheels is gorgeous
Do you know how many times I've watched this video?? 😆 I changed my config so many times! lol. Thanks for making this.
Love the side by side comparisons. Honesty will be happy with whatever Rivian will get me first.

Thanks for the vid! Your son has convinced me. Changing my color back to El Cap for the 20th time.
He'll be happy to hear that! :)
Why does no oneeee like yellow lmao i find that the compas yellow is gonna be a rare color I love yellow vehicles they stand out soooo nicely!
Not sure, but if you can convince my wife, I’d appreciate it. :)
Get ready for the ticket, u will be easy to spot for cops
I’m sticking with Compass Yellow on my reservation, but love the Forest Green! Great video!
Nice. Both very "natural" colors, and both in my top tier of colors.
Just got a build date of Sept/October this year! We’ll see how it progresses.
@@davidcarroll8735 Cool! Is that for an R1T or R1S?
@@pixelshotmedia R1T, although to be honest, I reserved back in December 2021, so I’m guessing the minimal yellow orders are all getting done at once.
You and your son rock! Thanks for helping us see all the colors. I was convinced to choose white since day one but the other colors are sure beautiful if you are into brighter colorful vehicles. Very nice nature tones. I have to agree with your dude that El Cap is my next favorite.

I have the Compass Yellow and the unexpected upside is how the brighter yellow badge accents appears like GLOWING NEON against the yellow paint
This was a fun video to do. Reminded me how much we waffled between the colors before finally deciding on… white.
Now to name it! :)
What color did you go with for interior?
@@roozbehbadii7518 black. the only option available at the time
Love the white look with black interior. Great choice :)
Thanks for the color comparison, this helps narrow it down! I think I’m a huge fan of the forest green and LA silver… can’t decide! LOL
oh yeah, that's a tough one. Forest Green is more unique. LA Silver is a classic. Good luck!
Thanks for the color comparison. I ordered LA Silver. Rivian Blue probably my favorite. But like you commented, Silver show less dust and dirt.
Yeah, it's very effective at hiding dirt. Thanks for watching!
I was on the same predicament, but finally decided on silver. Question now is black mountain or ocean coast?

Thanks for the this video! Spending so much time on a color choice for my R1S I never imagined it would be so hard! I’m down to silver or red.
Both good colors. Silver is a classic - beautiful and lower profile. Red is great - you’ll get looks all day!
Steve, you're not alone on the choice challenge! I'm all over the place...but think I'm narrowing down (R1S).

I was not interested at all in Red Canyon or Limestone but was surprised just how much Limestone was pleasing to my eye and how much the Red Canyon popped in the sunlight. I am perplexed now. I guess one can't really go wrong with any of these colors.
Agree. Over time I've come to appreciate the Red Canyon a lot more than my first impression. Limestone is nice also.
@@RivianDad I just chose an R1T in Rivian Blue from the R1T shop.
@@smarticus6384 that was my original choice! It’s a great color.
Why did you do this to me!!!!! I was set on Rivian Blue, but now El Cap and Forest Green have now entered the convo! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't even get me started on what wheels I want! Reserved Sept '21, so I have a ways to go before I finalize.
They are all great - but I feel your pain in choosing a color!
Im in the same boat 😞
As I said, all of the choices are good choices. For the wheels, that one was easy for me. As I plan to spend a lot of time on dirt, the 20s were the best option. And I do like the way the 20 inch bright wheels look. They are a little more gray than black. But with regards to the exterior color, yeah, I started with blue and almost took delivery of a blue truck, only to then have a restless night of sleep :-) until finally deciding on the white. It’s painful! Thanks for watching :-)
Limestone for me.
Solid. It’s a bit of a chameleon as you can see from the video. Thx for watching!
I'm still stuck between El Cap and Midnight. I have El Cap configured right now, but Midnight looks really good. El Cap will probably be more comfortable in the summer though.
I prefer the El Cap over Midnight - the El Cap is a pretty sophisticated color. It would work in lots of different light, and oh so sparkly. But, if you’re a black kind of guy, then I guess it’s Midnight.
This was really helpful. Still loving the Forest Green but now I like the silver quite a bit too (and it's cheaper)
I like the Limestone, but would be happy with the LA Silver at no extra cost.
They are all nice but my favorites were:
1- Forest green
2- El cap Granite
3- LA silver
All good choices!
Thanks for the video, having initially chosen limestone I changed my selection to forest green and your video just confirmed my decision was right, limestone is alike a nothing color. No manufacturer makes a silly color like that for a reason 😄
I do like the Limestone, but you're right that it has a certain neutrality to it. The Forest Green is beautiful.
Super Helpful. I think Im going with the white, but Im also loving the forest green. My wife just got a green wrangler. Im just afraid of having two green cars. I wish the white came in Metalic.
Both are very good looking colors. I think it comes down to light versus dark. In my world, I would lean toward the light color since I grew up in Arizona where anything dark was too hot during the summer. I think for me, it’s just a habit. However, the green is a rich color. So if you’re not concerned about the heat difference, then green is the way. Although white is a classic. it’s a never ending mind game. :-)
thanks for sharing. so they just let you walk around the lot? at the Bellevue SC, its all behind closed fences and they won't allow us to walk back there. i told them i am a preorder holder and i can't decide on color but they wouldn't budge.
Luckily, the Denver lot is not fenced off, they do have a fenced area and will be moving many of the trucks into that area sometime in the future, but for now much of it is unfenced. So most of the trucks are available to walk up to. They do keep an eye on things, but they’re pretty cool about letting people look around so long as you don’t disturb the property.
All of the color choices are beautiful, How do you choose ?
Exactly
I’ll take one of each please!
Limestone
Great Video 👍💯Launch Green and lime stone and the yellow I like best ☺️🤝
Hi, thanks for a great video. What's your preferred wheels for R1S.?
I like the 20s for both. Just better all around. I recommend snow tires if you live in a cold place.
What did you really think about the launch green with the forest edge interior? Thats my config, but I have never seen the forest edge, which makes me a little nervous.
I liked the forest green more than I was expecting!
I had a really hard time choosing my exterior/interior color choices. There were no options to see the variations in person. I wound up going for my gut and did Forrest Green/Forrest Edge. I get it at the end of this month!
Nice video, very helpful, ty and your son. I have yet to see an R1T in person, although I do have one on order, and an R1S also on order too.
Thinking green or silver on the R1T with black interior and al cap and white interior of the R1S.
Hey, what’s the name of the background song??
Three songs: 1 - Aerial Navigation/Brendon Moeller; 2 - Junble Blue/Giant's Nest; 3 - Day Glo/Molife. All are from online music library Epidemic.
What do you think, can one make quasi Launch Green out of Limestone buy using a semi-transparent green wrap?
Some of these colors are not shown on the website as an option.. why is that? or when will it show
Forest green and Launch green
Love the videos. Suggestion -- the viewing experience isn't smooth and seems like your camera is recording at a low fps. Might be worth seeing if you can bump that up.
Thx.
The kid stole my thoughts exactly!
He's good at philosophizing on colors. :) thanks for watching!
That Limestone really is a chameleon. Standing alone, it leans slightly blue in bright light (and next to Launch Green), but next to El Cap and LA Silver it pulled in more green undertones. I like it a lot, but I don't care for the baby/light blue that it may show (could be camera white balance). It's flatness/matte coloring is preferable, to me, vs the LA Silver but the silver seems to hold its color in various conditions better (which is probably part of the point).
Agree! The limestone is a solid color but can change with the light.
thanks for video!
Thanks for watching!
Hi,
Do you know what material are gear tunnel walls, floors and opening plastic cover made of? PP, PE, etc.?
Glacier White w/ Black All-terrainsss's!!!
Glacier white is pretty sweet I have to say.
You mean the 20 inch wheels?
Finally some good color comparison!
Thanks! I hope it's helpful.
Any video out there if ocean coast interior
Nope. Sorry.
Like the grey/green of the launch version. Makes me think of a Warthog from Halo.
Do you have any videos showing the r1t with matte ppf finish?
Yes ruclips.net/video/EjUdsiocUjA/видео.html
Red Canyon is another color that look very good by itself but on my taste don't work with Rivian design. But in a vacuum I think I like that fiery orangish red the best. Maybe second best to Compass Yellow, which, damn, is not "my" color. I like the inspiration behind it (autumn afternoon), I like how it looks specifically on R1T - just too bright for my dark soul:(
What amazing is how favorite colors on r1t may not be best suited for an r1s! So many decisions to be made…
Yeah. I like Glacier White for the truck and Forest Green for the R1S. Can’t really explain why.
@@RivianDad is glacier white a flat color, or with metallic fleck like the Tesla white?
@@Asok451 it’s flat - no noticeable fleck, but it is pretty glossy and reflective.
Ya can’t decide between LA Silver and El Cap. I really would like to see them in person. I’m up in Kitchener Ontario. Just got an email that they are setting up service center in Vancouver. But need to confirm configuration by mid Oct. I have a silver F -150 and it really does hide the dirt.
Bummer you're not able to see them in person. All of the colors are impressive. Tough call between LA Silver and El Cap - both are very similar vibe (as far as the amount of sparkle) with one being darker of course. Advantages to the El Cap - I think it's a bit more unique. Advantages to the Silver - classic, hides dirt better than El Cap. Probably comes down to how dark you want your truck to be. Good luck!! Thx for watching and commenting.
I ordered a Forest Green R1T, and wished I could get that Launch Green, but after my first mile drive, I honestly prefer the darker Forest Green if I had a choice. The Launch green is too light/pastel for me, I'm very happy it's not flipped. Personal opinion. Also seeing the Limestone in person, it's horrible, you HAVE to see it in person before ordering it, it photographs badly.
Good tips. I do love the forest green.
red one
Forest Green has enough flip-flop and still looks contemporary.
I do love that color! I tend to go for lighter colors though. Just a habit from living in Arizona for several years.
@@RivianDad I totally get it. Living in Texas, I tend to agree. Great work on the video.
@@jmakhlouf422 thanks!
Ugh doesn’t help. I’ve changed my config so many times between FG, LA, and El cap.
Have you seen any in person? They’re all good.
I can't decide between Midnight or El Cap
(Edit: for a R1S)
Easy. El Cap. It’s more dimensional and hides dirt a bit better.
@@RivianDad I think I agree with that.. Gonna go with the El Cap. Although it doesn't seem like my delivery will be until at least next year, so i have time to decide 😁
Also, can we get some more R1S videos? There isn't enough quality R1S clips on RUclips.
Thanks tons!
Definitely El Cap the best
baby blue - Limestone
Forest green for me please.
It needs a brown option! At least a brown interior.
Thanks very much for this, I keep wavering between Limestone and El Cap. El Cap feels "safe" especially because I worry about photos and videos where some light/baby blue comes out with the Limestone in full sun. It sounds like you're seeing that in real life, too?
El Cap transforms a lot depending on the light - but more of a “dark to light” transformation. Limestone transforms by reflecting nearby colors, not quite the same. If I had to pick between them, I’d go with the Limestone but mainly because it’s a lighter color. Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
I like launch green, because that's what I am getting
How can Rivian have 10 colors. Even a established company like Tesla has like 5 colors in the US and can only do 2 colors in Germany and that one is supposed to be the best paint booth in the world. I know they can do more colors in Germany, but what is going on are they having major issues. Not everyone wants a black or white car. Nice job Rivian. Keep up the good work.
not sure how they do it, but I've seen multiples of all of them here in Denver so I tend to believe it. I hear that they can switch the color on the fly without cleaning the paint guns (although they do paint in batches). Thx for watching!
