I agree that itâs unlikely they wonât survive as a company, but certainly not out of the realm of possibility. It feels good to say that a company wonât survive because they frustrated you but unfortunately that usually has no bearing on the end result. They have significant cash reserves and...
I think the original July-September window was always a placeholder for âwe have no idea.â
I have consistently read that they are prioritizing locations with service centers. We are halfway through the year without a single one built, under construction, applied for, or even rumoured in the...
This has been my experience with CS chat since it was offered: no specific knowledge about Canada, simply repeating whats known about US deliveries to me.
If anyone with a Guide is reading this, could you please ask about the timeline for Canadian deliveries?
What about service centre location? Or a list of intended locations in 2023?
According to LinkedIn, there are at least two Canadian Rivian Guides already hired as of earlier this year. Why hire them so early when we are seemingly so far away from deliveries?
I couldnât agree more. A Canadian specific update would be great to let us know they care about our market, and to manage expectations, even it means deliveries will begin in 2023
The flip side is that Canadian LEs are likely numbering in the low 1000s, based on our proportion in size vs US. This could mean it wouldnât take much of a âpushâ to fulfill our orders and truck over our vehicles. A fifth of our population is 1000Km from the factory (much closer than California...
My concern is that Canadian deliveries get pushed more than a few months - I am thinking next year, since the time frames we received were decided upon before their first year of production numbers were cut in half.
The recent SEC filing indicates that Rivian is planning on obtaining Transport Canada Approval for September 2022.
âWe expect to complete all CMVSS confirmatory testing and provide an application for certification to Transport Canada by September 2022.â
What implications does this have for...
I agree that Vancouver seems the most likely first location for a service centre for the reasons described. I would speculate that Toronto would be number 2 on the list. This would be in line with Lucid who started with a Vancouver location and recently opened a showroom here in Toronto that I...
I think that if they would go through the trouble of considering a service centre in Buffalo, they would more likely open one in Toronto, which is only 2 hr drive away.
This gives me hope! Thanks.
I was in touch with CS recently and I asked about how deliveries up here would work without service centres or infrastructure that is present in the US. I was told that deliveries would be arranged by the nearest service centre. I clarified that the nearest service...
Preorder holder for LE R1S in Toronto.
The delivery window I got was July-Sept but like others I highly doubt this will occur. In the US there are job listings, service centres under construction, and events. We have none of those in Ontario from what I have been able to tell. Q1 - Q2 of 2023...
I am also in the July-September time frame - preorder date Aug 2020 for LE Rivian R1S, Silver/22â rims/ocean interior.
The only complicating factor is I am in Canada. I checked with CS and they gave me a typical canned response that they are on track for July-September deliveries, which I...
