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

I was only partly joking in my estimation that their sole Canadian customer service person‘s desk chair finally arrived…

Looks like we're getting close(r) to getting some Canadian R1T's going. It's listed as admissible on the registrar!

Friend of a friend who is a PR guy at Rivian told me using a US address would result in earlier delivery.… less so with max pack since that’s 2023 no matter what.

Yaletown Rivian office today. Regular BC plates. More interesting was the current construction on the garage lift access doors. Not sure if it signals a possible conversion of the space into a service center but it would be a bit silly not to utilize the prime real estate.

Always great to see in person!

Is this the same one that's been floating around Vancouver for awhile now? With the insurance date decal on there with a 2021 expiry it must be (for those outside of BC, we recently dropped using/renewing those tags but they're generally still left on, so it would indicate this truck has been insured in BC since at least Feb 2020 assuming they put a year insurance on it)

It looks like 2023.

Yeah - it definitely looks like 2023 to me. But I agree that this is most likely one of the office's fleet vehicles. I doubt they delivered R1Ts to Canadian employees in Feb 2022.

However, I *do* expect to see Canadian employees getting delivery later this fall ahead of the Dec/Jan windows some R1T (non-employees) were given!

I’m like 99.92% sure this is their “shop truck”.
Or it is some muckity muck’s company truck.

yaletown mini didn’t even do service at that location, and those are way smaller vehicles ?

So, finally the unicorn has been caught on camera!

Yup, he's already imported it:

Wonder what was needed from Rivian to make that happen -recall clearance letter? DRL activation? labeling changes?
