Good to know they work because I was nearly stranded in Peterborough as they do not have any working CCS chargers except for the 25kw at the Nissan dealer!
Yes, I was searching around for something in Peterborough a couple of times and nothing worked… Also the Pickering Supercharger is not compatible with Rivians…

BTW, what rates are you guys getting on your Rivian insurance? Did you go with Intact?

I may have to take it back and get the sunroof done as well.​
It's worth to get the roof tinted. I opted for exterior tint so it reflects before the actual glass.

Is it more expensive for that? I also heard about the external front windshield tint that protects against rock chips

I am with Belair Direct - paying just under 3K for 2 drivers (we have 2 vehicles so that premium may include a multi-vehicle discount also) - Higher than my previous Ford by about $1300-1500/year but that was a 10+ year old vehicle so makes sense for the higher premium

With Intact I am paying 6K for 2 drivers, 4K for the Model Y and 2K for the R1T. Model Y is high as my wife has to drive on the 401 2 days a week.

Jeezus... I'm paying $1800 for the R1T and 960 for our other car CT200h.

Didn't realize Telsa's was so high, I'll have to call around as we were going to replace the CT in a few years and I definitely don't want to be paying 2x-4x more.

Actually it’s not because it is a tesla, it is due to driving to work on the 401. Before she got a job in Mississauga, it was 1.8 K

So far I've used the peterborough, brantford and nepean super charger locations, with the A2Z adapter. Have seen prices as high as 90c kwh (Time of day matters as well)

One thing that i have noticed, is there are definitely some super chargers (ie lime ridge mall in hamilton) that aren't enabled for rivian charging. If it doesnt show up on rivian's trip planner/navigation, safe to say it won't work, upon plugging in, the status will stick at "Starting"

I ordered my adapter on April 18th, my ship date was May 12th, I live in Ottawa and I had it within 2-3 business days, from ship date.

Honestly unless it's somewhere there is no option like Peterborough or Perth along 7 I'd just use CCS. There's a new shell 180kw in Stittsville
