[endokendo]

Good morning everyone, Happy Saturday!

just saw an R1T Launch Edition with Ocean Coast Interior, 20” AT here in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Beautiful truck, nice to finally see an R1T in person. Here are some pics, enjoy!

Not sure why you obscured license plates, no one can look them up all willy nilly.

Was it on regular BC plates? California ones? Michigan ones? Ilinois manufacturer plates?

BC plates…I scratched out the plates for their privacy.

Bodes well for those of us waiting patiently in Canada. That may be the first truly Canadian R1T out there. Hoping they make good on their promise of delivering this year.

wonder if the truck belongs to a Rivian Canada employee…

There have been pictures of one at their office. Might be their “shop truck”.
Since they do all of the in vehicle software works in Vancouver, it would make sense for them to have a truck or two around.

If the plates started with two characters before the flag then it could be a commercial truck plate.

yes…BC license plates started with 2 letters. I asked the lady where I get my car insurance from and the R1T at 8532 lbs (I got that # from Rivian Customer Service) will require commercial truck plates…

and the R1T at 8532 lbs ...

Where did the extra 1500 lbs come from? They sell that person a Moose with his Rivian? ?

That’s the gross weight, which is what is used to determine vehicle class.

One of those side-angle photos makes it looks like it had BC Parks plates on it? So maybe it an actual "customer" (employee) vehicle?

Looks like a parks plate. Only @endokendo can say ?

When looking at the front of the R1T, there is a sticker on the top left hand corner of the windshield. It said something like “approved or licensed to use in Canada” or something, I cannot remember. Maybe the R1T is for testing in Canada which makes me think it is a Rivian Canada employee’s truck.

Would be nice if that was a customer truck since that has the Ocean Coast interior, which seems to be delayed. If that was an actual delivery, that would be sweet.
