  1. Rivian Vancouver open house!!

    We'll be there on the Saturday. It's kinda weird that my wife was getting excited just yesterday about visiting the service centre this coming weekend, just for fun. When I told her it wasn't actually open yet, her brows collided and she hissed, "Godammit, Rivian!" I haven't told her about the...
  2. Canadian delivery timeframe

    Was originally told our Max Pack R1T would be 2H 2023. Now they just say, 2024. I guess this gives Rivian time to fix the tonneau cover and gear shuttle they took away from our configuration, along with working out the other first model year kinks. And it might give the Bank of Canada time to...
  3. Ocean Coast (OC) Interior - If you could, you would . . .

    Stick with the light wood and wait. I got to pick what goes on the outside. Wifey got to pick what goes on the inside. Go ahead, RJ. You try and change her mind.
  4. **HELP** Color Choice Issue

    Any colour but the red! People are getting way too upbeat on that one. Remember the disdain for orangey red canyon? Yes, let's go back to that. Horrible, ugly red. :stop:? Pick the blue. I'm sure you won't see many other Rivians out there with blue paint. :angel: The contrast with the light...
  5. First Song You'll Play In Your New Rivian?

    I don't see any Sloan on that list. ? Stopped along the No.7 Highway west of Deroche, the sirens to open Money City Maniacs swell from the Canyon Red R1T's interior. A teeth-clenching harbinger of the launch set to come with the song's first emphatic drum strike. ? The only thing stopping...
  6. Pedestrian Warning IN DRIVE? Wait...what?

    Good grief. Just blast them with the horn. ???:surprised: It's what we do with the firetruck.
  7. "day one" of "not a good day" for $RIVN

    Buying stocks is easy. Selling stocks is hard. Being patient during volatility is an almost impossible b_tch. I had cautioned about buying Rivian stock in the lead-up to the IPO because of valuation concerns. I stayed clear of it. Ironically, I'm getting my arse handed to me from owning stocks...
  8. RED CANYON Rivian Photos

    My wife and I were at the Bellevue location a few weeks before Christmas. We got to check out an El Cap R1T while we were there. Pushing buttons, kicking tires, asking a ton of questions. The guy we dealt with, Trey, was super-cool. Cranking the stereo while the air suspension lifted us up and...
  9. Updated Canadian Delivery Windows

    Vancouver R1T Max Pack Ordered August 2021 Estimated delivery is second half of 2023. ? I guess this gives the competition time to woo me.
  10. Rivan Canada Facebook Page

    I don't think you can get a plate for a vehicle that isn't certified/legal to drive in the country. Maybe Rivian is ahead of schedule here. ? There is a thread that already started this guessing game here.
  11. Rivian R1T vs Modified Jeep Gladiator side-by-side

    Has anyone dared to ask the questions about off-road accessories yet? I've tried searching the forum, but I might not be using the right keywords. When it comes to adding light bars, or even a winch, how different is it on a Rivian vs. a legacy truck brand like Dodge or Ford? Or is it not...
  12. Why the 6-month delay from Oct ‘21 to Mar ‘22?

    Leading up to an IPO, there are umpteen influential entities (underwriters, private investors, etc) and people with long, impressive-sounding titles drowning company executives and entire departments with asks and wants for financial statements, marketing material, legal documents, forward...
  13. Max Pack holders: tell me your thoughts

    Max Pack or nothing. From sea-level to the ski hill, I drive long distance routes multiple times a week. I'm on mountain roads in all weather conditions, all year long. And when I get a call-out, there's no time to charge the battery. And my wine-loving wifey and sister-in-law love heading to...
  14. What are you sacrificing to stay below the $80,000 tax break threshold?

    Rebates... shya. :swear: Where I'm at, the BC government offers a $3,000.00 rebate and the Canadian government another $5,000.00. Only, MSRP is maxed at $55,000.00 and $45,000.00 respectively. So, nuts to that. Instead, we'll be looking at a tax hit (GST + PST) of around $14,800.00. Something...
  15. First Song You'll Play In Your New Rivian?

    ...and it will be forEVER:whatsgoingon: ? Now, let’s talk about "You spin me round (like a record)", by Dead or Alive. Blighting my inner musings since 1985. :computerrage:
  16. Business Insider IPO recommendation article - don't buy at target price says equity research firm

    I avoid investing in IPOs. Unless I, or my wife, is an insider where we can honestly evaluate a company's potential from the get-go. And figuring out an EV company's reasonable valuation in this market is ridiculous. Anyone around for the 90s remembers the flood of new, insanely overvalued...
  17. First Song You'll Play In Your New Rivian?

    It could be "Kickstart My Heart", by Motley Crue. Or, it could be "Highway to Hell", by AC/DC. I say, it could be. Because if it's a nice day and I can open the windows then it WILL be, "Money City Maniacs" from one of the best bands almost nobody has heard of. SLOAN! Great intro. ? ...

  19. What would make you drop your preorder?

    In July 2020, our 2007 Dodge Mega Cab was totalled when an old guy ran a stop sign and I've been looking for its replacement since then. I think the R1T will be a great choice. In red canyon, of course. That gear tunnel with the shuttle is an outstanding location for my first responder kits and...
