we drove from Toronto to Detroit to personally see and size-up
the Rivian R2ā¦ā¦we both loved it!
I feel it is perfectly sized for a couple, especially for Canadians,

Zeekr X
Xpeng (added)

Groveland will definitely be on my travel list!
Is the old-fashioned Saloon with the swinging doors still active?
wanna visit just to experience the Western Saloon..
IMHO, a clear windshield ppf is a worthwhile investment
if you value your front windshieldā¦.its like cheap insurance!
my PPF installer in the Toronto area (Markham) highly

just my two centsā¦I will take the plunge!
Thx @BigSkies
The $11 Billion dollars coming in from the US Government and VW Corporation will afford some additional time to buy time and become Cash-Flow positive

@rutiger
Your FOREST GREEN Rivian is stunning!
fyi, Iāve been contemplating which colour to get for my future R2ā¦
methinks Forest Green gets the nodā¦.
But Iām not changing my avatar name to Green Avenger!
