Rivian Spotting: Stunning Matte Bronze Rivian R1T

I was on my way to work this morning when I spotted a Rivian that I think looked pretty awesome. The R1T was rocking this matte bronze vinyl wrap that personally, I think looked really cool and classy, like it was ready for an adventure or a fancy night out. The way the bronze caught the morning sun was unreal, almost like it belonged in a blockbuster action movie. I’m guessing that wrap’s doing a solid job of keeping the paint safe from scratches or mud, especially if the owner’s hitting the trails. What really got me was how the vinyl wrap transformed the whole vibe of the truck. The bronze wasn’t in-your-face; it was subtle but still made everyone do a double-take. I love that you can wrap a vehicle to protect it and switch up the look later without touching the original paint. Plus, it’s gotta be way easier on the wallet than a full-on paint job. The owner clearly put some heart into this one—blacked-out badges and slightly tinted lights tied it all together, giving it this sleek, intentional style. I couldn't stop thinking about the choice of the bronze wrap cause it’s such a rare color to chose for a vinyl wrap color choice and it gave the Rivian this perfect mix of tough and refined. Honestly, I’m a little jealous. It’s got me daydreaming about what color I’d pick if I wrapped my own R1T—something bold but not over-the-top. I literally had to pull over and ask the owner if I could take a couple of photos of his truck, which he politely agreed to. Anyone else spotted a wrap this epic cruising around?

Not sure if this is already possible as I haven't noticed an option for it yet, but it's a little frustrating sometimes that the proximity sensor view pops up on the driver screen (instead of potentially on the center screen) when I'm parking, because turning the wheel just completely obstructs that part of the screen and I have to bend my head down and peer through the wheel to see anything.

It's a really small thing and I know I have the overhead and front/back cameras to use, but the fish eye effect makes it hard to truly gauge distance and I usually default to the sensor. I work in the city and have to parallel park this beast of a car a lot so maximizing space with the sensors is key. Again relatively small nitpick but does anyone else find this an issue as well?
