What did this phase of testing include/cover? I might have to do this for an electric bike (45 km/h) that I brought back from the USA... and could you share the name of the company you used for the testing?

This is very exciting news — I had just learnt through the Facebook group that there was a Rivian in Switzerland and it's even more exciting to have this confirmation. I'll DM you shortly.

Hello! I've not found any further information to jailbreak the car, unfortunately. I am hopeful that when Rivian comes to Europe it may allow the kind of necessary software updates for connectivity on this side of the Atlantic.

This has also been confirmed from the Rivian website itself, which now prompts users who are visiting from overseas to choose between a "North America" and "Europe" dropdown. The corresponding list of countries under "Europe" might indicate those countries on which Rivian will be focusing in...

Thanks for the information you sent. Very helpful! Alas, I'm not sufficiently technically minded to find a workaround for the eSim. I suppose the least worst solution might be to use a portable hotspot type device to ensure connectivity on the road...

That would be a great starting point, thanks! As far as I know the Swiss authorities would be satisfied with the TÜV paperwork/knowledge. Now the other thing I'd have to do is find a way to "jailbreak" the car so that I could install a European eSim instead!

Would you also be able to send me a message about your admin experience? I'm looking at bringing a Rivian to Switzerland, so it would be useful to get a sense all these bureaucratic headaches ahead of time!

Whenever you find a solution for allowing eSim data other than the plan arranged for by Rivian, do let me know! It's certainly the biggest hurdle discouraging me from taking the steps necessary to ship the cars across to Europe.

So both @allan88 and @AMJ have imported their Rivians to Europe without benefiting from the exemptions that apply to US Forces' members like @rivian_germany... perhaps either of them could offer some insight that would be helpful to you? :)

You can also add the R1T exported to Kenya to your list! As you can see they were modified for Game Drives. Per the article there were mean to be 4 vehicles in total exported to the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, including some R1S as well?
