I happened to be talking to Sales in Normal today and it sounded like leasing was an option. I wasn't interested in it so don't have any details. I would call and ask for Sales and inquire directly.
Yes, I was chatting to someone from Rivian again today and they confirmed definitely not on option in Canada. It's too bad. As an R2 reservation holder, if I was able to lease and then be allowed to cancel without penalty when picking up the R2 (I believe this was an offer in the USA, not sure if it still is), I may have gone for it. Oh well.
With this new price increase that's coming to Canada. Rivian would be smart to offer leasing... It would make it more affordable for some other get a Rivian and great for company's to lease... They need to figure it out sooner than later...
