    Alexa, Turn up the heat?

    "Alexa, set temperature to 72 degrees" Grrr.... Seems like we will have to talk to Alexa to get the car to follow commands. How utterly dumb. You would think that maybe Rivian would have had some insight to understand that I'm not driving an Amazon car, but a Rivian...

    Rough Calculation of Rivian Orders, Delivery Times

    The lack of a Rivian service centre does not bother me. For many years Tesla did not have a presence in Alberta - they had set up techinicians coming to you. Rivian also seems to have proper mechanisms in place for remote diagnostics. As for January 2022 - Yeah, let's not delude ourselves. I'm...

This seals the deal for me. I had put my deposit but wasn't sure if I'd go through with it - now I will. Polestar, which...

    Alexa, Turn up the heat?

    I sure hope that the way to engage voice control will not be by saying 'Alexa'. The FAQs on Rivian indicate this. I most certainly don't want to be telling 'Alexa' commands while I'm driving a Rivian. I understand Amazon's investment in this company, but I'm buying a Rivian, not an Amazon device.

    Any other Canadians on this group yet?

    Pretty sure that most buyers in Canada are based out of Ontario, BC and Quebec. My brother owns a Tesla and says that the charging network out there is pretty impressive. Lucky guys!

    Any other Canadians on this group yet?

    I'm from Calgary and placed an order for the S. I hope that more Albertans will place pre-orders - hopefully that enables Rivian to consider having some charging stations or at least a service centre similar to Tesla here in Calgary. The government has not been discouraging EVs but has...
