That's definitely the Rivian sound. It's too exactly repetitive to be from an engine. The pitch starts to go up as soon as the Rivian starts to move forward.

Agreed. As they start to move towards the end of the video there is another engine sound coming from the right. That is the van.

I could live with this sound. The amazon van, not so much.

I'm reluctant to draw any conclusions about how much I like this sound as I don't trust that the recording or my speakers are giving a faithful reproduction. However, I do think this sound might have potential. As with colors, etc, I can't wait to see and hear in person.

I think that sound is the truck, and it sounds like a high tech artificial exhaust. When the van starts moving, I think its engine noise is distinguishable & completely different.

You never know with these videos, but if the noise is coming from the R1T, I don't hate it...

Nice! Great to see they are testing the Petro-Canada network (and so close to me)! I've been jealous of the consistent west coast and Illinois sightings!

A quick search and that seems to be the location in Woodbridge, about 30 minutes outside of Toronto. CCS 350kw charger.

Temp around here has varied between a 'feels like' of +4 and -14 C (39 and 7 F) over the last few weeks, to give everyone a sense of the temp range they are testing in. Relatively mild for Toronto this time of year, hopefully they are headed a few hours further north to catch some colder temps as well.

It also seems like they have the US plates on. @Rivian, if you need a test drive up in Toronto just give me a ring;)

And no state sticker like we've seen on other prototypes. C'mon, they could've used a maple leaf or a province, right? ;)

Is that Arkansas we can add to the list? Sticker is throwing me for a loop...
Few things I noticed...
1. Rivian Puddle Lamp appears out of the door handle?
2. Blue Mirror Cap and Black Mirror Cap
3. Rocking the 21s
