As much as I would love to see those changes, I donāt see most of those happening for years, as they would require R&D, securing deals with suppliers, retraining/rehiring, retooling to be done. Ofcourse by the time these changes are made the R2 vehicles will be announced and probably not far...
Did everyone get their delivery estimate refresh pushed back to end of August? Or just the folks in Ontario due to the slow progress of the service centre?
Thanks everyone for weighing in. Itās encouraging to hear about peopleās positive experiences and makes me think more these issues may have been related to the early build date of the vehicle.
Yes, the vehicles have a different value propositions, I just happened to own the only other 3 row...
Hi Everyone,
Today I drove my brother-in-lawās Rivian R1S loaner vehicle (his was being repaired) and the experience was surprisingly disappointing. I am a relatively early reservation holder (Sept 2019 for an R1T) and currently drive a 2023 Tesla Model X.

Thanks for finding this!
I hope the OP can provide us with regular updates. I would be happy to if it wasnāt so far from me.
Letās see what the refreshed update brings. I was Oct-Dec 2023 on the last refresh.
The family and I were in the area yesterday and went by the Service Centre location on Weston Road.
They had one framed wall up and a concrete floor poured for the service area. There was no one visibly working at 11am on a Monday. Not a great sign in my opinion.
My refreshed time frame is...
I have to agree with you regarding the distance being the factor since I got a totally different email from our friend in Northern Ontario; my email explained that my window got pushed due to service centre construction status rather than an email explaining why its going to stay in āProcessing...
Thank you for your reply!
I thought Matheson was actually going to do the build out. But from your explanation it appears that they are the GCs and have given other trades/smaller companies until Jan 17 to get back to them with quotes for the scope of work.
Hoping this means we see progress...
For us unfamiliar with this process, what does it mean for this project to be in Matheson's 'Upcoming Tenders?" Are they bidding on the job to Rivian on Jan 17? (alongside other companies I presume).
At which point Rivian will undoubtedly need time to review, consider, reply to the bidders...
Great find!! Thanks for sharing this. Location doesnāt surprise me giving Vaughan being the āindustrial suburbā of the GTA. Looks there may some possibility to my July-September window afterallā¦
