Received 2024.11.02 update this evening and noticed addition of :
-improved fast charging reliability on Canada's largest fast charging networks. (!)
Please send any updated experience you might have. I'll do a trip within the next week or so and try a few stations (Petro, Shell, EC).
No mention of fixing the issue of little to no DCFC for Canadians, that I saw...
Update for you Wing... Texted with Chris at Rivian Calgary and he indicated the Canada DCFC fix should be included in the stack. Not sure why no mention in the notes.
I'll update my thread on the subject when I get...
I tried the EC in Calgary yesterday to see if anything had changed on the charging front - it has not. I only had 30 min or so, so didn't have time to reset and try different chargers, but the exact thing happens every time:
Plug in, communicating with vehicle, initiating charge, red light -...
In short, no.
There are tons of variables to discuss, but 100W of solar will not do much for you considering the loads you expect to power.
For 1 - 2 days, just plan a big enough battery.
Thanks for the replies guys, though not at all encouraging!
Not sure if it will do any good, but I will be raising a stink about this until I see some movement from Rivian on this issue.
While I was at EC 350K, there were 2 lightnings, an Audi and a Mach E that came and went with no problems...
I took delivery on March 21 this year:

A bit over...
Holy sh*T, can't believe this Henry... What a review. I just took delivery last Friday and I am feeling so lucky to own this amazing piece of technology!
Getting used to the complete re-imagining of vehicle interface (coming from. 2008 Highlander) is an experience in itself. Yes, the signal...
Congrats Anjoo, my matched VIN is in town and has passed safety inspection. Booked my pickup for end of Feb as I still have some hurdles to clear on my end.
I'm told the lot is full with vehicles set to start hitting the road next week.
Super exciting, it sounds like Alberta is a hot market...
I asked during my demo drive in Calgary on Feb 1. They do not yet have Canadian leasing option and there was no Info available from the SC guy from Vancouver.
I'm hoping there's good news soon, but I'll likely just stick with purchase plan.
Amazing that you're getting the first YYC delivery, congrats!
I did my test drive in the FG R1T with quad motor, so I can correct you on that. And... It was amazing!
I matched a VIN that was identical to my order, but with ocean coast interior.
The rep (from Vancouver SC) said I can still...
Just had my test drive today!
So great to be behind the wheel after living vicariously for so long. Man, what a drive!
Wife was "pleased", though not with the launch... Was a while recovering from that!
Chris helped by finding a near - match in the shop, which we can not yet access.
OC interior...
