Rivian R2 Block Parties Are Here: Check Out the Stunning Launch Colors + My Top Tesla Accessories

Rivian R2 Block Parties Kick Off: Deliveries Begin in Showrooms

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you missed the excitement, Rivian R2 deliveries have officially started hitting showrooms, and the block parties are in full swing. Our buddy Sherwin checked out the Venice location, and I'm seriously tempted to swing by myself—it's not far from us at all.

Multiple R2s on Display

At the Venice showroom, they're showcasing up to five Rivian R2s in some jaw-dropping colors:

• Glacier White
• Launch Green
• Midnight
• Catalina Cove
• Half Moon Gray

And word on the street is there's even a Laguna Seca Blue in the mix! Personally, I'm obsessed with the Launch Green right now—our Cybertruck is green, and this shade looks phenomenal. Laguna Seca Blue is a close second for my top picks. These look incredible in person, and the best part? The events aren't overcrowded yet, so it's a perfect time to check them out.

Imagine these beauties up close—Glacier White, Launch Green, and more!

Block Party Schedule and RSVP

Rivian is hosting these events across the country. Here's the lineup:

• Venice
• Denver
• Chicago
• Long Island
• Atlanta

Head over to the Rivian R2 Block Party website to RSVP, check the full schedule, and see more pics. They've got coffee, food, and a fun vibe—sounds like the ultimate EV enthusiast hangout!

Rumors say employee deliveries are starting now, with real customer handovers possibly a year out depending on demand. If you're nearby, go see them and let me know in the comments how it was!

Shifting Gears: Top 3 Tesla Accessories You Need

Congrats if you just snagged a Tesla (or are about to)—now comes the fun part: accessories! There are tons out there, but I narrow it down to my top three must-haves:

1. Phone Mounts
2. All-Weather Floor Mats
3. Center Consoles

#1 Recommendation: All-Weather Floor Mats

These are non-negotiable for protecting your interior. I break them into Good, Better, Best:

• Good: Affordable Amazon options (links in description).
• Better: Brands like Tasmotors.
• Best: 3W Liners—what we use on our Model X and Model 3 Performance. Top-tier quality at a competitive price with our promo code (check the description or our Best Deals Spreadsheet - Page 2).

Other favorites:

• Jowua Phone Mounts and Center Consoles—on all our Teslas. Tesla doesn't include a center console, so this is a game-changer.

Thanks to everyone using our links and codes—it supports the channel big time!
