  • Where RIPTIDE BLUE car OR 2024 E-RAY display in person? NYC now?PhillyAutoShow Jan28?

    Where & When can we see a RIPTIDE BLUE car and/or 2024 E-RAY in person?

    I have both an early 2024 Stingray and a early 2024 E-Ray deposits and need to see RIPTIDE BLUE in person ASAP.
    RIPTIDE BLUE is obviously on 2024 E-Ray press cars, but it's also on other 2024 GM EV press cars.

    Can I travel to NYC and see these cars now that we know they are there?

    What about the Philadelphia Auto Show Week that starts on January 28th?

    Thank you.

    Riptide Blue Metallic is right now, identical paint code, is a 2023 Equinox color. I hope your local dealer has one for you to see.

        I think the only in person place you will be able to see Riptide Blue or any of the new colors will be at the Bash in April at the NCM

            hopefully someone can take some pics of the riptide blue there at the bash to share with all of us as i now have to make a new decision between red mist and riptide with the depressing loss of elkhart blue which has been my dream build since the visualizer released but by the time canadian allocations are resurrected from the dead the color will be long gone.
            personally detest rapid blue as a flat pastel color and the e-ray visualizer isn't helping the situation with what looks to be another baby blueish type of color. My only hope is that the color difference between visualizer and real life seems to be starkly different on riptide, see picture below for the terrible difference; not a burn on how much work it takes for GM to launch these visualizers and then debug them as time goes on but impossible to tell what this color really is. Honestly with the color contrast below you'd think that was accidentally rapid blue but it's not. Maybe its a visualizer issue where riptide is accidentally showing the same as rapid. haven't tried a different browser but on chrome you get what's below. hoping the deeper the blue the better but not looking great for my taste.

            gonna have to hunt dealerships when these 2024 suv's start landing with this color but i also have little faith that dealers here in canada will get much for inventory stock to look at as it seems that only dodge dealerships are pulling that off well here for some reason. Different chipset that isn't on shortage for them vehicles maybe? who knows. Click image for larger version

                  I kinda like the Darker more Metallic Blues myself, but this is also a good looking color.

                    Pretty far from now, but Corvettes at Carlisle in PA is August 24 - 26, 2023

                          The Ripe Tide blue looks really pretty. The visualizer does a poor job showing it, but some of the GM produced videos show it and thats probably the most accurate right now. It appears to be somewhat close to the Marina and Nassau blues from the past. Both of which, were wildly popular in their day.
