So I finally had a chance to get my demo/test drive done today. I got into a Rivian Blue R1S with OC and the AT tires. After three years of waiting here is what I thought of this vehicle. Things that I liked and that genuinely surprised me: 1. Ocean Coast - One of if not the best interiors I...

I do believe this is what these things are intended for, farm utility vehicles. My only concern would be the air cooled batteries.

So looks like some one has figured out a way to watch videos on the R1's center display, Rivian R1T And R1S Owners Figured Out How To Play Videos On The Central Display (insideevs.com) Not sure how long this will be allowed, if Rivian decides to block this functionality

Don't know if the FB group moderator is here, but when I can I will try and post any (planned) meetings here.

Had a chance to test drive the Lucid Touring two weeks ago and now I am ready to ditch my Model S and might even consider dropping the Rivian. Lucid just dropped their pricings and are giving some generous discounts that give some free options for inventory vehicles. I am really tempted ! The...

This review is a big miss by MKBHD. I like MKBHD as a reviewer as he is good at making videos but his reviews can sometimes be a hit or miss. He pretty much nitpicked the car and then summaried it as the worst car, especiall after saying its 'fundamentals are solid'. It drives nice, it's...

If you are already not part of it join the Rivian Owners of Ontario Facebook group. There are quite a bit more Ontario owners there than here. You might be the first RC R1S owner there.

Probabaly coming to a Tesla near you soon, https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1916/tesla-adds-beautiful-new-3d-maps-in-chinese-new-year-update Hopefully this feature is not a China only update.

Rivian's already there, albeit via an importer, Rivian R1T first impressions - YouTube And if you go based on Bjorn's impression, Rivian will be a success up there.

What are the chances this is the R2 ? Those seats look quite a bit different (albeit could have been edited to remove Rivian 'likeness') And the wheel looks smaller and chonkier.

It's not just EV owners/buyers but it's also EV Manufacturers including the likes of Tesla and Rivian, that is to blame for this mess. They do not make an effort to educate their buyers, about how to use an EV, how to charge, the benefits of L2 home charging, making/providing recommendations...

The first thing you should do as an EV owner is change the battery meter to 'SOC' from the 'miles left' or completely ignore the 'miles number'. Not a single EV maker has gotten the science of mileage estimation right (even Tesla with all their years of experience and neural and AI nonsense)...

Looks like this is invite only. Maybe to manage numbers.

Didn’t someone post about importing an R1T to Dubai a while back, is that the same person ?

"...and they are limited by janky public chargers that are too slow, assuming they work at all..." This single false/negative narrative/perception alone is holding EV adoption back and needs to change. Journalist both traditional and tech centric need to start getting better at reporting...

That sucks that they are not offering any first mile events or test drives like they did when they launched in the US. Atleast offer test drivces for people in line waiting to take deliveries. I am not a fan of taking delivery of a vehicle I have not had a chance to test drive, after the regret...

That matt PPF actually makes Launch green pop !

For all those who are expecting or have confirmed deliveries this month into January, have Rivian offered test drives ? Did they mention anything about offering first mile events or test drives for all order holders ?

Yep, I got it as well as an original order holder (Pre-March price hike) and I am pretty pissed that Rivian sneaked a price increase like this for us. And in typical Rivian fashion they sent this bad news late at night yesterday, so they know they are screwing up their customers. When they...

Couple of peolpe on FB are reporting Next Steps emails are going out for Ontario order holders. So it's happening folks !
