I use the word “remote” loosely. But does anyone know what the plan is for people who are hours away from the service centres? I’m in central BC and approximately 8 hours from the nearest SC. It sounds like anyone can take delivery now if we want but I’m curious how long someone would...

Most things I’ve heard make it sound like there’s plenty of headroom but I get burned by lots of vehicles so I’ll need to try it myself.

As a tall guy that’s more worried about upper body space, how about headroom?

So this is good news... but unless somebody knows something I don't, it doesn't appear there's any infrastructure in Canada to support getting deliveries started (ie. service centres).

Unfortunately, for those of us in the community here, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Furthermore, as mentioned above... the lack of information going forward shouldn't be a surprise to us either. Disappointed nonetheless.

PG specifically. But it seems like any BC Hydro chargers along the Yellowhead (or going south on 97) would be 50 kWh. A bit of a hard pill to swallow.

I may be taking a job in northern BC and wanted to see how road trips would fare up there. BC Hydro seems to have a huge network of Level 3 chargers throughout the province, but upon closer inspection, they’re only rated at 50 kWh. Is this fairly standard in BC and Canada? At 50 kWh it’ll add...

If anyone has more pics of the pads, or even a video showing the "issues" when the tailgate opens/closes, that would be appreciated!

Update: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/government-expanding-electric-vehicle-rebate-1.6427488 Looks like we’re [still] out of luck. Too bad…

Still wouldn’t expect anything over 5k, but it’s better than nothing. They still might not raise the bar high enough (especially with the post Mar 1 pricing) but we’ll see.

In light of the new federal climate plan, I hear the next budget (due later this spring) will have a reworked EV incentive program that is designed to include more expensive vehicles (read: SUVs and trucks). Should be interesting to see if the Rivians will be eligible.

Seems pretty decent to me?

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here but I've still never seen a good answer to this question... how far is this truck going to go in conserve mode cruising at highway speeds? Obviously there are tons of variables but if someone wants to go for a drive (especially in winter temps on 20's)...

Is it going to be possible to use a traditional tailgate pad with the R1T? I ask because it has that different "flap"/"extender" on the interior side of the tailgate that would cover the seam where the pad straps would wrap about? (If that makes sense?)

Well said. I think this captured a bit of my frustration too. They targeted the Subaru crowd but priced it like a Bentley. Obviously it was going to cost more than the former, but I think people were prepared to go to that price point. They've seemingly crossed some invisible line where the...

Cancelled immediately after I got the email today. This was always a very expensive vehicle but it was my proverbial dream car and a company I wanted to support because I believed in their vision. Unfortunately I just can’t afford the vehicle at this point. Hope the company still succeeds but...

https://insideevs.com/news/525820/tesla-battery-capacity-retention-90/ For what it’s worth, this article shows Tesla batteries hold, on average, 90% after 200,000 miles, so I’d assume Rivian would be largely the same…

Depends who you ask I guess. I know which one I'd want if I was planning on keeping this vehicle for a decade or longer though...

I realize that this is purely speculative, but I'm curious to know everyone's thoughts on what the average life expectancy will be for a Rivian. I guess I look at this from a couple different angles: - How long will the vehicle's electric drivetrain (especially the battery) last if it is...

I’m glad to hear that. I just remember watching one of the many reviews videos that came out recently that said it was motorized.
