Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
First, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new Rivian!Ok, having owned a Tesla for 9 years and a Lightning for a couple of months, I thought the Ford APP was awful. This kind tops that; it's like they handed it to a home decorator and thought that it was wonderful.
There are too many tabs, and you have to scroll down to click on things. There is way too much fluff and not enough substance at a glance.
Give me a main page that shows all the critical stuff at a glance—vehicle location, HVAC status, battery percentage status, door lock status, charging status.
Tesla does it all on one page. I shouldn't have to launch the secondary app( google or Waze) to see the location. I don't care if motion cam is always one; that's one of those set-or-forget things; only show me that if you will let me look at the video, which you can't do.
The vehicle is great, but the app has a long way to go. I was always complaining about the Ford Pass app being bad, but the beta screen shot sI have seen of version 5 beta out now shows a vast improvement
Thanks for the support. To answer his questions. I have an older tesla that doesn't have pet mode and travel with animals in California summers 100 degree plus days so seeing the ac running it quite important. Maybe not for everyone but for me yes. As this is the primary vehicle for other family members location is important as well, safety wise or just waiting for someone to show up at a location and saving a call and distracting the driver.Rude offensive comments and about a new member no less. Hope the mods block you.
I like seeing the location of my car when I'm getting picked up (I share a car with my roommate) — this was great in the Tesla app with the live map; a lot more annoying now with the Rivian app.Why do you need to see the vehicle location? It's not a Tesla, it's not like it's going to self-drive away and hide from you. My R1S is always exactly where I parked it.
Rommate? Sharing a car? Yeah, definitely not a scenario I can relate to but, ok, I see your use case.I like seeing the location of my car when I'm getting picked up (I share a car with my roommate) — this was great in the Tesla app with the live map; a lot more annoying now with the Rivian app.
Like the uber/lyft apps showing where the driver is when you order a car, I assume.Rommate? Sharing a car? Yeah, definitely not a scenario I can relate to but, ok, I see your use case.
These are the shortcuts I created on my iPhone 14Pro.I really only go into my app to switch vehicles now. The widget is great.
