Christian lives all the way out in Nova Scotia, where Rivian doesn’t officially sell vehicles, but that didn’t stop him from getting an R1S. We talk about the long road (literally) to owning his Rivian, what it was like transitioning from a 2018 Tesla Model 3, and what EV charging infrastructure looks like in eastern Canada. We also dive into EV politics up north, the state of electrification in Canada, and some fun nerdy EV talk along the way. 00:00 Intro 01:45 Who's Christian Selig 02:10 Christian's EV Journey 06:45 Getting a Rivian in Nova Scotia 17:50 EV Charging in Eastern Canada 23:00 Getting service in an unsupported location 29:45 Why did you pick a Rivian and was it the right decision? 33:50 Separating the art from the artist (Tesla and Elon) 37:00 Tesla animosity in Canada 45:25 EV Charging Apps and Tap-to-Pay 53:40 Autonomy on Rivian 58:45 CarPlay and Android Auto? 59:25 Follow Christian Selig on BlueSky 01:01:00 Outro Do you prefer this in audio format?
