Notwithstanding a reduction in range, we are keeping the 20s. They are rated for snow which is a must here in Quebec. The lower range will get us to 99% of all our travel needs. for the remaining 1%, we'll change the way we travel.. either stop a while for recharge or even better, find a nice...
Driver+ will force you to keep your eyes on the road, if you don't, it will nag you to put both hands on the wheel. Personally that does not bother me as I will not use Driver+. Until hands free driving is really hands free and attention free, what's the use ? If I need to keep my eyes and...
I did get Rivian's answer to this and I am reassured. Here is their answer:
"Thanks for taking the time to follow up on this, I want to make sure you have all the clarity you need to prepare for the Launch R1T.

No pictures but here we go:
2015 F250 Diesel Lariat, this one will go when the R1T arrives
2020 C8 Corvette, will keep
2011 Mazda 2, will keep for the teens.. just getting their drivers license..
2008 BMW 128 Convertible.. will probably keep, its still fun to drive in the summertime..
I'm also in Canada. Rivian had an issue identifying Canadian customers to the right country. You should have received an email prior to the cancellation, I did. Basically, they reimbursed the deposit, cancelled the preorder and re-established it the next day in Can $. At that point you were...
