Rifish is hardly doomed without the Quebec market.If they are hanging their hat on not being willing or capable of meeting the Quebec french language requirements, then the organization is in trouble. They appear to have a vision of expanding to Europe and other parts of the world. If they can't service the largest EV market in their neighbour, Canada, then they might want to get a little better prepared with their international initiative. While people unfamiliar with the legal requirements like to emphasize the difficulties, small and large organizations are routinely getting the job done and setting up successful Quebec businesses. There are service providers who make their living, guiding and assisting companies in complying with local laws. The cost of such service is not huge. The more likely case is that they are struggling to meet demand and will default to any excuse that allows them to follow the path of least resistance. They are simply doing what they see as in their interest, which is their right, and I'm afraid those of us who have waited for delivery in Quebec will have to accept that continued waiting is inevitable.
The Canadian market is seemingly secondary if not tertiary to Rivian. We’re a small market and spread out over a big area.
The US and EMEA are clearly higher priorities, and easier markets to be in.
