    If you had an order do-over and could choose a different set of factory tires/wheels, what would you choose and why?

    I am thinking more about my tire and wheel combination, honestly leaning more towards an A/T tire. If I stuck with the 21's then will probably order a 2nd set of wheels with A/T or snow tires. What about you? Would you change what your R1 was ordered/delivered with?

    Is anyone using their Rivian branded charger to recharge a vehicle that's not a Rivian?

    I have a 40 amp level 2 charger to charge our Kona EV, but am getting the Rivian charger, which will have a larger breaker 50-60amp, and wondered if anyone encountered any issues charging non-Rivian vehicles. Thx

    Just locked-in the R1T MaxPack for delivery. Will it be the first Max north of the border ;-)

    Quite a surprise to get the lock-in email today. Maybe that means my delivery will be in advance of the Dec/Jan date projected a while ago. Hoping so at this point. I almost started messing with my colour and wheels, but stuck to the plan more or less ;-) Sounds like the charger is going to...

    Gas Prices in your province (2.14/litre BC here) - Hurry up Maxpack!!

    Yesterday I caught myself staring at my gas gauge a few times. Even though my current commute is pretty short, I find I am itching for the Max pack delivery as the prices took a big jump again. Best decision we made was getting the little Kona EV in the meantime while we were waiting. It's kind...

    A couple vehicles from the Fully Charged EV Expo today

    Without driving it, I thought the Polestar 3 was most impressive. The interior also was super polished compared to most of the competitors. I think they stated 2 month delivery wait approximately. I liked the BMW SUV styling, but the interior felt gaudy and I didn't care for the...

    How many of you ordered off of the Canadian R1 Shop?

    I noticed that the list had dwindled significantly. I'm going to wait until the dual motor/max, but there must have been a number of bites, because the shop inventory is way down.

    New Rivian hub / sales center / showroom incoming @ Burnaby BC, Brentwood Mall

    I have not driven by, but saw the pictures on facebook. Rivian "coming soon" signs all of the glass for 2 floors. Looks like there is going to be another sales centre at the corner of Lougheed and Willingdon.

    Anyone racking Fat Tire E-bikes with their Rivian?

    My ebike is pretty heavy and may be buying my spouse a new ebike. But because hers new one potentially has a dropped center bar, and I am a little tired of the workout I get while lifting up my bike on a conventional horizontal bar rack, am looking for a heavy duty e-bike specific rack. I think...

    Cancelled my Lightning preorder (only 6 weeks out from delivery)

    Unexpectedly, I got a call that my Lightning would be delivery soon, I was actually kind of stoked. At the time there was no news on the R1T dates for me, so I was pretty serious about potentially making the switch. Other than the battery fire at the plant, I know the Lightning had few reported...

    Ford salesperson unexpectedly just texted me with a build date. Anticipating R1T MP to be much longer.

    There will be a lot of pressure now to make a decision soon, which I wasn't expecting. The preorder date for the F150 was Nov 22, MFG date End of May 2023 My preorder date for the R1T Maxpack was winter 2020, which I anticipate to be MFG end of 2023 The advantage of the F150, I think is towing...

    For Owners; Now that you've had your R1T/S, what options/colours do you wish you got?

    If you'd had a chance to reorder, what items/options might you add, that you did not get? Any regrets on colour choice? Would you chose a different interior or exterior colour? Tires/ wheels?

    Gas prices $2.65/litre ($7.50 US Gal) This summer. Be nice to get my R1T before then.

    My wife just told me we are anticipating hitting $2.65 a litre this summer. Hopefully RJ and team can pull out a minor miracle and get the Vancouver Maxpacks delivered before then.

    First Canadian Rivian Service Centre in Progress Pics From Vancouver

    (in Vancouver BTW) Thanks to another member, and awful traffic this Saturday, I went on a little excursion. My wife also seemed to be unexpectedly curious. Thanks to the very nice contractor for giving us a little tour. I'm in construction and I thought the team there was doing a pretty good...

    Just wired up a charger outlet, Rivian charger worth it?

    The level 2 charger I just installed has a 40amp breaker and a matching level 2 cable with a max 40 amp current capacity. The cable I have is rated at a maximum 50 amps, so do you think it is worth opting for the Rivian charger to get the additional 10 amps, when I get the truck next year? It's...

    Exterior accessories wish list

    I won't have my R1T until next year sometime, nor do I think there are many R1T's in the neck of the woods (YVR) but am making a vacuum table to form some carbon fibre parts for my boat (right now) and maybe my car later. When I get my truck, I'll probably tinker with some parts to make it...

    Would level 1 "trickle charging" at work daily be okay

    I was thinking of plugging in at work daily as the power would be donated, however only at level 1 (110/120V) Will this harm an EV battery of the long haul?

    Configuring outside charger, any thoughts?

    When the R1T comes in 2023 it will likely be our 3rd Plug-in vehicle by that time. Already charging has become a bit of a logistical issue with one vehicle that can park inside. My son's Escape Plugin EV has to park blocking garage access to charge. I've ordered the Rivian charger (hoping it...

    After no sightings, I got to see two this week.

    I am guessing maybe employee vehicles up here in Vancouver. I caught a glimpse of a Limestone R1T on the road earlier last week, then at my workout venue got an up close look at a Granite/Ocean Coast version that was parked in the lot. Wish I had my phone to take a few pics but don't usually...
