Rivian Offering Free Satin Color Protection Film For A Limited Time

Rivian has announced that it is offering an expensive option for its R1T and R1S models for free this month. Stealth EV manufacturers’ paint protection film (PPF) is free on selected configurations before April 30, 2024. Stealth PPF was originally available as a $5,000 option.

The Stealth PPF, based on XPEL, promises to eliminate the elements while providing a smooth satin finish. This durable film, designed around the limited new car warranty, provides protection against chips, scratches and road debris, aiming to preserve the aesthetic integrity of Rivian EVs. Available in select colors: Forest Green, Limestone, Midnight, and LA Silver.

Rivian’s Stealth PPF Vs. Tesla

One of the key features of the Stealth PPF is its ability to self-heal fine scratches and swirl marks when exposed to heat, ensuring that the car maintains its pristine appearance over time. UV-resistant coating, with 360-degree coverage and gloss, prevents discoloration and fading. To ensure optimal coverage, Rivian fully covers the edges without requiring panel removal or disassembly, ensuring seamless integration.

The Stealth PPF is similar to Tesla’s color protection lineup, which recently got additional color options and a price cut. However, the Tesla giveaway is still over $1,000 more expensive when the free Rivian Stealth PPF offer ends.

What is Seizure?

Stealth free PPF for the Rivian R1T and R1S is certainly good news, but there is a lot of news. The automaker has stopped taking custom orders this month until the end of summer, so interested buyers will be limited to pre-configured cars available with the specified paint protection. We went through the Rivian catalog using zip code 33101 (Miami) and found four R1T trucks with a Stealth PPF available; not a single R1S has this option in said region.

Other zip codes may have better listings, but for customized models, the Stealth PPF will revert to its $5,000 price tag unless Rivian decides otherwise.
