2 things, it doesn't look Green at all, & my biggest worry is that from door doesn't line up with rear !!

It looks grey. I'm not a big fan of green anyway, but if I wanted the Launch Green in the first place I would be upset with this reality.

 

[RITVT]

COMPLETELY and 100% different than the pics/renders in the configurator... And better color for sure. I would switch from Limestone to Launch Green if I could get my truck sooner

 

[Sultanum]

I actually like the color more than what you see under the configurator. Which is great because I have currently configured the R1S in launch green😁

However, I would be really upset if I disliked. I mean, the configurator cannot be so far off.

Yes. That is a little worrisome!

Preproduction builds always have manufacturing and process "wrinkles" in them. This includes fit and finish. That is why it is generally a statement within the auto industry NOT to buy the first year of any new vehicle (especially from a brand new manufacturer) for these reasons alone. So being the first is not always a great thing. :-(

We finally have some real photos of what the R1T will look like in Launch Green! Does it meet your expectations or has your opinion on it changed?

Someone on Reddit was able to get confirmation from their Rivian Guide that this is Launch Green. Personally I like the color as a contrast to Forest Green but they could've matched the color better in the configurator.

I had a chat with Rivian yesterday about Launch Green (the new color seen in this thread) vs. Limestone. They too admitted that the color is nothing like what we see in the configurator and that it is really nice in person. To me, it looks like a slightly darker and more drab version of Limestone. I was set on Limestone until I saw Launch Green. Since we have seen no real-world Limestone trucks, I asked if switching to Launch Green would move me up in the delivery queue (which seems reasonable) but I expected a non-commital answer, which I got... I went ahead and switched to Launch Green anyway yesterday. It is included in the price, Limestone is an upgrade of $1500, and I added a full size spare to my configuration for $800 bucks (which I had not seen as an option before)... I am hopeful that swap-out to launch green and the addition of the full size spare doesn't negatively impact whatever delivery schedule I am on. But, my price went DOWN slightly based on the pics of Launch Green.

Here's a paint sample of what Launch Green looks like off the truck.

I did the exact same thing!! I was set on Limestone from the beginning. But once I saw the official launch green I made the switch last night.
To me limestone looks blue/grey (more grey than blue. While launch green is green/grey. Both great colors.

Saving 1,500.00 is a totally plus. Now I’m trying to figure out if I really need the off road package.

Im pretty late on the pre order game so I know I won’t be getting my truck for a while. Also until they figure out the federal tax rebate, I’m in no rush. If by waiting until 2022 gives me an opportunity for a increase in the tax rebate I don’t mind waiting a few extra months.

My dilemma now is really on interior color. I really like the wood in the forest edge, and it looks far more gray in the real world pics vs. the ugly green in the Configurator. However, it does still have some green tint to it, which will limit what exterior colors it will pair well with. The black interior would pair well with just about any exterior color. I currently have launch green with black configured, but may switch to launch green with Forest edge. I’m also still open to LA silver, Limestone or El Cap Granite, but it think all of those would pair better with black interior.

Agree 100% regarding trim. and Tesla still has panel alignment issues after all these years. Hopefully, Rivian QC will get these taken care of.

I love that that is your biggest worry.

Launch green with the green interior is going to be fire🔥

 

[EARTHSAVER]

It’s ugly grey! Living in Kalispell, MT where winters are grey, the last thing I want is a dull grey truck. So sad that Rivian can’t come up with a vehicle that will have visibility in snowstorms, gravel dust and fog. This is an accident waiting to happen…and it’s a depressing color! Yuck!

I wish Rivian would take the wood trim from forest edge interior and use it on the black mountain interior. It would give a little pop to the black mountain interior.

Forest Green with Ocean Coast is the first Rivian R1S I ever saw, and I liked this combo. I'm torn between this and Black Mountain. I agree with an earlier commenter that the black looks a little drab without a natural wood color.

 

[RITVT]

I actually went into the configurator earlier to see if I could "lighten up" the wood trim accents in Black Mountain. Would be awesome to be able to choose the wood trim colors (regardless of interior color choice).
