2026.03 Update will revamp Kneel Mode

[gultin]

OK and when it drops at home can it stay that way Until I am really gone or parked.

Not a ton of space in the garage so I get in and back out and it lifts up. Stop and unlock and lowers some and DW opens the door and it stops.

Same in reverse arriving at home. Drops to let DW out then raises again to go 50' into the garage then back down again. A lot of work and delay for nothing.

Geofenced intelligence into Kneel Mode, would indeed be a very useful feature!

I'm eager to see how this works. I only briefly tried kneel mode for the first few weeks owning my R1T and it was never very useful. I'd park and get out before it even starts lowering, and I think it stops lowering when the door is opened, right when I want to exit? I didn't care to sit around for 30+ seconds pretending to get things in order before getting out of the car, so I just stopped using it.

Credit where it's due, I've been asking for a button to engage kneel mode ever since they released the feature, glad to see it happen.

Button to fold mirrors next please.

I’m looking forward to this feature! This will make it much easier for me to get my 110lb Berner in and out of the truck! He will be one happy pup…

Unless I'm mis-remembering (and google doesn't seem to think I am), there's already a button in the quick settings to fold the mirrors.

Yes, there is. The two mirror buttons here (and the new kneel button should show up on the bottom).

The top two mirror buttons there are the lights on the outside of the mirrors. (Another request of mine is to enable those while driving off road as mini ditch lights.) The fold mirror button is the one on the left, third from the top.

What's this?

What's this?

Electrochromic sunroof. Tap it to make the sunroof opaque(ish).

I'm definitely looking forward to a lower Kneel before Zod mode!!

Hopefully they have different height profiles for off-road and on road tires to prevent scraping those fender liners...

It's still going to get interrupted when the door opens. There's at least a few places I park regularly that will totally fuck up your door if it's all the way open and the vehicle lowers down. The road is crowned a lot near the edge and the curb is unusually tall. Rivian should be very careful during everyday events like parallel parking on a main street.

False, needs to be a steering wheel button. Tactile as well as front and center. None of this hunting and aiming a finger.

Not good enough. Needs to be tactile and part of the right steering wheel button set. If they must, let us scroll down to it.

For Mirror folding? Are there other vehicles that have a button for that on the steering wheel?
