I wish there were a kneel button

[CO-rayman]

99% of the time I don't want or need the kneel mode.

The rare occasions that I do are getting my elderly mother in and out, unloading something heavy from the frunk, and occasional ATMs.

Currently I solve this by temporarily putting it in sport mode but it would be great if I could just press "kneel" and then when I next put the car in drive it go back to the normal suspension height.

That's a great idea. I have the same exact issue with my mom getting into the R1T.

I did a search and haven't verified this myself, but per a post on Reddit, kneel appears to go down another inch from the sport low.

Here’s what I got back from their support team. All these dimension are based on the R1T w/ 20" All Terrain wheels.

Overall Height (Kneel Mode):
1763mm or 69.5″ (without antenna)
1831mm or 72.1″ (with antenna)
1838mm or 72.4″ (with crossbars)

Overall Height (Sport Mode):
1787mm or 70.4″ (without antenna)
1856mm or 73.1″ (with antenna)
1863mm or 73.4″ (with crossbars)

Overall Height (Standard):
1852mm or 73″ (without antenna)
1921mm or 75.7″ (with antenna)
1928mm or 76″ (with crossbars)

Overall Height (Off-road Mode):
1918mm or 75.6″ (without antenna)
1987mm or 78.3″ (with antenna)
1994mm or 78.6″ (with crossbars)

Buttons are never gonna happen.... even useful ones.

Sport goes lower than kneel mode anyway. I don't know why Rivian decided to do it this way but it's probably a drivability concern.

Related request: I would like a “roomy entry/exit” option for the front passenger seat as well. Dropping the seat height to its lowest setting for entry and exit + lowest ride height = ?
