Thought I would check out how things were proceeding with the Service Centre in Vaughan, Toronto last Saturday 18/Mar/23.

This is what I saw:

#1 North Side (front?)
#2 East Side
#3 South Side

I didn’t see any Rivian signs anywhere. It doesn’t look like they’ve started construction unfortunately.

Seems about right in terms of progress as my delivery window went from Jan-June 2023 to July-Dec 2024 based in July 2020 order. Looking at alternative EVs as Rivian seems to have focused service centres in provinces w favourable tax incentives to EV manufacturers like BC and Quebec.

I don't know about Quebec, but Rivian isn't getting any sort of rebate help in BC. I think Quebec and BC have the highest uptake in EVs in general in Canada (likely aided by rebates for lower cost vehicles, as you mention). But in BC it would also be aided by having the highest priced gasoline in North America and relatively inexpensive electrons, with a much higher rate of environmentalism in general.

Although I kept my deposit with Rivian, I'm already 1.5 months into my ownership of a Model Y. Also will look at the EX90 or EV9. So far the MY has been an absolute pleasure and loving the EV experience so far. When Rivian gets their shit together here in Canada I suppose I'll have to decide if I go through with it or get the EX90 or EV9.

We did the same, got our MY LR last August and drove to the eastcoast for a month, absolutely love it (and the eastcoast)! Helped take the sting out of delay delay delays from Rivian, I’m now kinda hoping my 2019 reservation on the Cybertruck comes first 🤣
