Couple of days away from September and the silence is still deafening...

Hey all. I have been seeing reports that there are some Rivian's in Canada. Are these road trip vehicles or Canadian purchasers? Also, if anybody would happen to have a Rivian R1T, please see if TuxMat (Toronto area) is still in need of a specimen. I am almost certain they are. I think they would sell really well if we can just get them measured and spec'd out. These are the best mats you can get for any vehicle.

There are a couple of threads on here of users who took road trips in Canada, but that's about it (other than the Vancouver office truck as mentioned). I was lucky enough to see a California plated one on the highway here months ago (who then posted on here about a road trip to Whistler) and got to have my fan boy moment hanging out the window.

Pretty much given up expecting anything productive from these clowns this year!

The fact that they did not make any meaningful updates during the last investor call confirmed they don't have any real plans for 2022 for Canada.

This is why I jumped on taking the Model S delivery when I had the chance.

There’s supposed to be an announcement?!

I saw on one site that the Customer Engagement center is open in Vancouver BC. They seem to think they still may make some deliveries in Canada the end of this year.

That's news to me. Maybe they were confused with their development team office?

It is the internet so it could be wrong…… This is from RS, most of the stuff I see there is pretty reliable.

Yes someone did receive a response from customer service,mentioning their new customer engagement centre. But there was no wider announcement or press release.

Near as I can tell they got a customer service rep for canada and his desk chair finally arrived at their Vancouver office. Tada! Customer Engagement Centre.

Interesting. I'll be keeping a close eye. If it's real, I suspect their staff is in the office, but not open to the public yet.

Judging by the list of positions that need to be filled in Vancouver on the Rivian website, I think we are still a few months away

Customer Service Specialist
Field Service Tech
Senior Field Specialist
Manager Delivery & Operations
Title and Registration Operations (Big one at least)
Sr. Field Service Launch Technician West Canada
Sr. Vehicle Operations Specialist

RE: bolded one, screw that give me bill of sale and NVIS and I’ll take it to the insurance broker down the road and have plates in 10 minutes.

So it looks like the BC/Alberta orders will likely be fulfilled first. My guess is that GTA then Montreal would be next since they're likely the next on the list for SCs

I saw the same thing (and thought it'd be time to come out of lurking). I thought by now we'd get an update on the planned Vancouver Rivian Service centre. Guessing it's still crickets? The article I read said the plans were for this fall...

I saw an article in automotive news talking about service centres, the Rivian person interviewed pointedly mentioned the Vancouver one as opening “late fall”

I spoke to CS this afternoon and I was assured that there will be an updated email with delivery windows sent out by "end of summer". I asked if that meant Sep 21st, she re-iterated by "end of summer". Fingers crossed on receiving some sort of communication however not holding my breath because I spoke to CS at the end of June and was told that I would be getting an update within 2 weeks. No such email came.

Anyways, Ford called me yesterday and my lightning lottery # came up. I went to the dealership today to take a look at the truck (2022 Lariat variant). Beautiful. I really liked it. MSRP $101k. The sales person said that I will be getting a 2023 model and should have it in 8 weeks. I was intrigued. After multiple discussions, the price was $112k+luxry tax+dealer fees (between $2k-4k they couldn't tell me) and HST. Total: $132k approximately. What a joke. I said that's a bit rich of them, they said "thanks for coming in". lol. I walked out. Still want the Rivian over the Lightning but was willing to entertain the idea and maybe flip it to take advantage of this whole supply and demand economics.

The kicker was that Ford (dealership) wouldn't let me buy the truck for Cash. It had to be a lease or finance through FORD. They said they didn't want their customers turning around and selling their cars after taking ownership. F'in clowns.

Looks like Tyler might be the only one working at Rivian BC,
