Yeah, I can't help but think Rivian really wantsto start delivering cars in Canada even though "there is more opportunity in the US". I say this because they're already delivering late 21 orders on the R1T in the US and they have yet to deliver a single Canadian R1. At the end of the day with...

Do you need to do anything specific to get it to launch other than put it in sport mode? Also, can you just floor it or is it recommended to press the pedal gradually?

Let us know how those 22s do on snow!

This articulates how I feel perfectly... Down to the conclusion

Totally agree with what you're saying. Anyone who says the Kia will be a competitor to the XC90 hasn't sat in both. There's a reason many reviewers who has sat in a Rivian compares the finish to Volvo (I can point to at least 3 reviewers that did this). The Volvo finish of the interior will...

This is likely the only true option that would make me switch from my R1S pre-order. We love our XC90 but want to go EV. If the rumors are true that it may launch in 2023 then it will be a race to see who can get me a car first - Rivian or Volvo. Understanding the Rivian is the better all-round...

Yeah we'd likely get communication about Canadian deliveries way before we see an app pop up. Change a country that an already published app is available in doesn't take more than a day or two to reflect in the app stores. The leading indicator would be if folks that already have the app...

Wow. I love the 22 Brights, but damn I might get the 20 ATs or Brights just to have all the color options available to me. I never liked the stock 20s because once someone mention the silver part looked like a staple and I just couldn't unsee that, but being able to black out the wheel or going...

Conventional wisdom says Late 2023 for new reservations is unlikely, and although I don't disagree, it got me thinking. I was looking at some R1T deliveries and it looks like they are starting to deliver 2021 (some Oct-Dec 2021) orders. Which means they'll likely be "catching up" so to speak...

No worries. Some municipalities use ice melt (salt pebbles) or even little pebbles on snow and ice to help car with traction (salt also melts the ice). That means usually in the winter you'll pretty frequently get flying projectiles onto your windshield (yay)

As someone who hasn't gotten their R1 yet and lives in a place that gets a lot of snow this concerns me

Hi all, figured I'd throw up a quick poll. I think lots of us are curious where the majority of pre-order/reservation holders are located. This isn't supposed to be fully representative (we have a huge geography) but mostly just to see where folks live and where SCs may be. I placed Ottawa as...

Just noticed you're in Oakville, I am too! A part of me is hoping that we'll get an SC here since there's a Tesla location nearby lol

Only last month unfortunately, I'll be waiting a while

Oh interesting, I never noticed that on the map. I guess maybe that's Cornwall? (Such a random place to have an SC, though maybe I just don't see it but also I can't spot the Montreal one. Maybe the one near the border is the West Island in Montreal). That said - as a Rivian investor, I'd want...

There's just SO MUCH opportunity in the GTA. Something like what 1/5 or 1/6 of Canada's population lives in the GTA? Not opening one in the GTA right off the bat would be a mistake imo. With all the other manufacturers around the corner launching competitors to the R1T/S it might be lots of lost...

Yup. With no word at all about where other SCs might even be an of course zero communication from Rivian, I think they'll plow through the BC orders first, then Calgary and Edmonton. My guess is a GTA SC would be the second SC they build, but who knows?!?

Hey all, I was wondering if such a product exists, and if it doesn't....why not? For those who are in older homes where electrical service is 100a, why wouldn't a "Power Bank" that is plugged into a regular 120v outlet be an option? The way I see it, a power bank made especially for EVs can...

I agree with your math and assumptions. I do agree that the R2 will be more popular. For some ungodly reason the North American market is obsessed with crossovers (I don't like them) and I think the R2 will be super popular. And although I hope they make R1s in the GA plant, I think they'll be...
