I have noticed that there are no photos of the R1S in back paint (except for the images in the Configurator, which are probably renderings). I guess Rivian has not made a pre-production model in black yet.

I have owned only black SUVs for the last 25 years and that's the only color I am considering. Since there are no photos of the R1S in black, I did some Photshop work to see what it will look like. Here are some photos for my fellow black SUV enthusiasts...

It looks so good in black that I bet we'll see it as part of some black car service.

Thanks. Here are a few more...

Wooow these are incredible @JWC3! (especially the ones with the reflection in the water). If someone told me these came from Rivian themselves I wouldn't question it.

Thanks!

Would you be able to render it with some cool OEM colors from other automakers?

That Matte Black with the black glassy top is hot!

And that Black on Black with the Ocean interior might be an awesome combination as well!

It'll be interesting to see the sales of various exterior colors. We're going white as we live where the sun shines and even a little heat reflection helps. It is curious Rivian isn't promoting black but you've done a great job.

Thanks for going to all the trouble. I have silver on order but after seeing this-I have second thoughts. Can you put fender flares on the black car? I'd like to see what it looks like compared to the defender. Cheers!

Those images look beautiful. Currently configured with the mountain black interior but still tempted by OC. Ideally OC but with the wood from the MB interior - me likey very much!

....There are some black R1S out there..... trust me

I posted these photos over a year ago and we still have not seen a real photo of a black R1S. While we wait for Rivian to finally give us some good photos, here's another Photoshop mockup...

Im just saying they are out there....

 

[iansriv]

It's screaming for fender flares! Can we pimp it up a bit?
