Rivians have finally landed on the shores of Ontario, at the Vaughan Service Center.

Took a lunch time trip up to Vaughan to check out the Rivians.

There were 2 R1Ts (Limestone, White) and 2 R1S (Forest Green, Rivian Blue). My choice has been FG, but they are not that flattering in real life.
Even Rivian Blue was not very impressive for me. Though,
the white looked really good. I might change my choice.

These things look amazing in real life. Pictures do not do justice to the presence they have.

From an in person first time look perspective I absolutely love how they look. Hoping we get to test drives these things soon.

I will say that many of Rivian's colors look quite different dependent on the lighting at the time. So don't give up on any color until you see it more.

I agree, check them out in sunlight and at night. The colors seem to shift on these vehicles a lot more than others based on lighting.

Yeah, absolutely. They vehicles were sitting outside, so quite a bit of grime on them too. Which could have washed out the colors. I do intend to check out all the color options as they start rolling them out.

For now going to stick to FG, as this feels like the color the R1S should be on.

I'm liking my FG after 2 months of ownership. I went to the opening day for the Vancouver space and is was handy to see several in person, both for the exterior colour and interiors. In the end, we stuck with our original config of FG/BM, though we were pretty close to going FG/FE! Excited that other provinces will start taking delivery s00n and getting to experience these awesome vehicles :)

Ontario will be a very big market for Rivian I predict. Big population, 15 million people and very tech forward. Will help keep the momentum going. About time.

I wonder why door handles on blue R1S is white ..
Looks like that protective tape used in shipping. I really want to peal those off, it can be very satisfying

I'm biased, but El Cap takes the cake :)
I agree, El Cap is a great color, I had that configured the entire time but went down and looked at it with bright 22s verses Launch Green with dark 22s and had to go with LG, it really was a coin toss and I would have been completely satisfied either way.

I almost switched to LG when I got access to the store! Love LG.

Those grey Vancouver/Toronto skies really make the colours pop ?

Welcome to the Canadian Delivery Club!

I was at the one in Richmond BC yesterday for some minor stuff and they had loads of S's and T's ready for their new owners.

While I have El Cap (first photo is my truck) I had the opportunity last minute to get Launch Green and it looked mighty nice yesterday, I must say.
