Your List of Wanted Features / Functions

[zipzag]

Here's what I think Rivian should be working on that they haven't officially announced:

1. Winch option
2. Swing gate with spare for R1S (as an option)
3. 240V 30 amp inverter option
4. Dashcam
5. Rock rails as part of underbody protection option

I'm sure the list of desirable additional software features is long, but I don't have a vehicle yet so I don't have a list.

My wish list is far too long to post here. But a few highlights:

* allow lane changing without canceling lane keeping
* display the altitude and a resettable odometer on the driver display
* plug-in charging (without messing with an app)
* make almost everything in the UI bigger (not all of us have 20 year old eyes anymore!)
* Guide lines in the front camera view
* pitch/roll display in Off-road mode
* low speed cruise control (aka "hill descent mode" or "crawl mode")

I have an easy/unique feature besides all the above. I'd like them to add the time that I last selected the garage door opener. So many times I get half way out of the neighborhood and can't remember if I closed the garage door. If I could just touch the garage icon and see the door opener/closer was activated a few minutes prior, I would not have to turn around.

Sky-gazing mode. All the lights / screens that can do so, go red with easily tunable brightness. All other lights off.

How about a teen driver mode for teen driver profiles? Reduces torque, prohibits sport mode, etc.

I’m not there quite yet as my oldest is only almost 15, but I worry about him with all that power at his fingertips.

They're working on creep mode. Or was that just me at fifteen?

Phone app needs an overhaul

doesn’t sync favorites only
Recent call log doesn’t group same numbers

these 2 issues alone make the phone UI near useless.

My list skews towards the features I miss most from legacy automakers or tesla vs off-roading but I'm sure that will increase as I get into that, in no order:

1. Valet/Guest mode or other drivers setup without adding a key
2. Swap the camera icon for gear guard so its one click when pulling in to park. (or make them all customizable) This might be my #1 for practicality and ease of implementation.
3. Android Auto/Working FM/Streaming or casting.
4. Quiet cabin fan
5. Cruise control defaults to normal when issues with Adaptive features
6. Glove box (would rather have the speaker in the frunk and a storage drawer between the seats)
7. Turn off auto locking/ gear watch at multiple locations (home, work, home 2) etc
8. Change zoom of navigation without disconnecting the tracking
9. Update charge limits from the app [Edit: Just updated my app for this!]

The list goes on but 9 was a start. I do love the R1T though!!

I agree with many of these. Searching around for the camera icon when you really needed is really distracting.
