Awww... I have been using my Trip B since day 1 as a lifetime trip meter. This morning, I somehow managed to accidentally hit the A/B selector in the gauge view as I was reaching for the reset button right next to it. In typical recovering former Windows user fashion, I tapped the confirm button as I always do, not realizing I'd tapped the A/B button enroute to reset until I saw the large numbers at the bottom and zero miles on the trip. 
Sad day...13.5k miles of data gone.
I'm sure others can commiserate. I and others have been asking Rivian for more trip meters for some time now...this incident just solidifies my desire. I'd like to see them add a Lifetime meter that can't be reset easily. I'd also really, really like to see a Current Drive and Since Last Charge. The Current Drive could be a current day or accumulate until more than 8 hours have passed since the last drive cycle, but wouldn't want to see it reset until the next time the vehicle was put in Drive after Park...so that you can still see the data say at a charging stop, etc. Since Last Charge would be fantastic for road tripping. I already use Trip A in this way where I reset it every time I charge so I have a record of what I've pulled out of the pack vs what went in to better judge range remaining since the dash only shows EPA range. Similarly, a Since Last Charge should not reset until you hit Drive after unplugging. Other cars have had similar meters for a long time now.
In other news, does anyone have a concrete way to submit either bug info or feature requests to Rivian? I've sent some to my guide before, but as much as they have on their plate that doesn't feel like the right move anymore. For example, I had a nasty phantom braking event this morning nowhere near an intersection with someone behind me this morning. Been awhile since I've had one that didn't have any obvious trigger and I captured a diagnostic log, but unsure how to communicate that with Rivian.
