Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

A less chatty suspension.

It definitely likes to talk. My wife’s air ride adaptive suspension on her Volvo is quiet.

I find it annoying also, and would love to be able to turn it off.

But it did help me to figure out why the adaptive cruise slows me down when I try to pass a semi. It sees the truck and 2-3 additional phantom cars that jump around right in front of me and screw up the curise control. Maybe I need an eye exam, and it is trying to tell me that, because the eyes in the front of my head do not see those cars.?

A-Pillar Grab Handles.

When I park my truck in spots like this to take a cool shot, it would make it a hell of a lot easier to get back in!

??????Would like better grab handles too..

Your kidding right? Waymo has driverless iPace cars in Phoenix, as does Cruise. I have personally seen them driving around. Soem have drivers and some do not.

How about this, driverless assist?

The one that thing I miss when I had the Chevy Bolt EUV was the super cruise. (Hands free)but I always kept my eyeballs on the road never less..?

I've read this whole thread, including my first post, and I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the annoyance of not being able to flip the wiper blades so they stay up for wind screen cleaning.

Put the wipers into service mode first?

I know I can do that, but should I really have to just to wash the windshield completely?

Yes

Genuinely curious about your concern. If you don't lift the wipers off of the windshield, how could you possibly wash it completely?

I think the annoyance is having to use service mode for the wipers. On my GM cars I could just wrench the wiper rotation into the place I wanted but the Rivian doesn't move as easily by hand (which is to say, not at all).

My Audi is the same. It's an aero thing.

I'd like a cheaper price lol but that's not happening for as much stuff as it's got.

That's it in a nut shell. It's just an annoying extra step.

A redesigned front seats storage compartments. Today, I tried to put my Samsung S21 Ultra 5G with a slim case into the front seat storage compartment; it seems like a great place to hide this phone. It's more than roomy enough to hold my phone (see pic); until you close it...Then the phone gets wedged against the inside top portion and refuses to let the door open fully but just a small crack. I ended up having to insert a thin, long screw driver through that small crack and teases my phone forward in order to release the door. Rivian, please fix this compartment design. It is very deceivingly generous in size. It even allows me to close the door without any problem. But, once closed, my particular phone gets wedged.
Anyone else had stuff getting stuck in those seat compartments?

Nope, works great for my sunglasses. My phone goes in the center console.

I don’t know if I’m alone here, but:

The interior door pulls. They feel very flimsy and cheap. Narrow. Hard, squeaky plastic. Occasionally makes cheap plastic-on-plastic sound as you pull the door closed and the door panel flexes.

I want sturdy, no play when pulling the door closed. No creaks. Many MUCH cheaper cars I’ve owned have had no problems fulfilling this brief!

Lock just the rear passenger windows.
