The EV startup is excited to announce a few critical design updates, but there\u2019s a catch.<\/p>\n<p>Rivian is giving us a sneak peek at the automaker\u2019s new Ocean Coast interior. The automaker says it will launch the Ocean Coast package with dark wood accents. The new dark wood compliments the lighter materials, helping the cabin\u2019s overall ambiance. However, due to supply chain issues, light wood will on longer be an option, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kftyk8baf4E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to Rivian.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>On the positive side, Rivian says, the move will help speed up production by streamlining the process. Rivian says deliveries will start \u201cvery soon, pretty imminently.\u201d For fans of the lighter interior, don\u2019t worry. Rivian is introducing a new \u201cvegan\u201d wrap as part of the Adventure Package, with deliveries starting later this year into 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the EV startup made the tough decision to discontinue the Explore Package. Again, Rivian is deciding to simplify its lineup to get its vehicles in customers\u2019 hands quicker. In April, Rivian said it would delay<a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/04\/26\/rivian-delays-ocean-coast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> the Ocean Coast interiors<\/a> to maximize production output. Today the company is making good on its word and relaying the message to customers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Rivian announces it will soon be delivering its Ocean Coast interiors, but there is a caveat\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Rivian Ocean Coast interior\" class=\"wp-image-251370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=150,75 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=300,150 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/Rivian-Ocean-Coast-Interior.jpeg?resize=290,145 290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><figcaption>Rivian Ocean Coast Interior Source: Rivian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-you-need-to-know-about-rivian-s-ocean-coast-updates\">What you need to know about Rivian\u2019s Ocean Coast updates<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s some helpful info from today\u2019s update for customers who have already bought a Rivian or plan to. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rivian customers who bought before 3\/1\/22 are price locked. The Rivian Adventure Package starts at $73,000 for the Rivian R1T and $75,500 for the R1S model. The cost and delivery date will not change.<\/li>\n<li>If you wish to change your order, you can reconfigure your account on Rivian.com, changing the options as you please.<\/li>\n<li>Buyers who don\u2019t reconfigure will be left in the system but will not receive a delivery window, so updating your Rivian profile is essential.<\/li>\n<li>Those who wish to cancel can save their pre-order date for future priority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The difference between the Explore and Adventure packages is roughly $5,500. However, the pricing will depend on when you bought the vehicle. <\/p>\n<p>Buyers will be guided through the process, and the Rivian team is ready to answer any questions.<\/p>\n<p>Rivian is in the midst of scaling its EV production to meet demand. Meanwhile, the company produced 4,401 vehicles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/08\/12\/rivian-rivn-q2-earnings-confirms-1-7-billion-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first quarter<\/a> of this year, 72% more than in 2021. <\/p>\n<p>The EV startup also gave more clarity surrounding the <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2022\/08\/12\/rivian-revealed-r2-platform-q2-earnings-call\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R2 platform<\/a> and what we can expect from future Rivian EVs.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-electrek-s-take\">Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>Although not everyone will be happy with Rivian\u2019s new updates on its Ocean Coast interior, the automaker is making the right move. <\/p>\n<p>Rivian has already pushed back deliveries of the R1S SUV earlier this summer. It\u2019s time to start getting vehicles to customers. The new updates allow Rivian to streamline its manufacturing process to build EVs more quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Rivian\u2019s new strategy is likely to pay off in the long run as the EV startup looks to solidify its place in an increasingly crowded EV market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\" readability=\"6.3518518518519\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- post ad --><\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCcOIZzJgLCyMPILY7-1Vsdg?sub_confirmation=1\">Subscribe to Electrek on YouTube for exclusive videos<\/a> and subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrek.co\/guides\/electrek-podcast\">podcast<\/a>.<!-- youtube embed --><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Recent Videos\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y762nr0603I?playlist=33H1to7oDe4,OPbTQnaB0s0,dBfJkmOQDgM,vSMgQyvuqhk,FJk53glQViE,-5Gln-1fPeE,34b6I-QT3yA,LROvW4UTwqU,jyLt1ag95uY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were lucky to receive an update from Rivian today on the new R1 series Ocean Coast interiors.
