We've had 40 degree weather the past couple days and today was the first time I remembered to hit the cabin heat before heading out to the vehicle. I checked my wall charger to see what the Rivian was pulling from the wall and it said 0.00 kW. I'm a bit disappointed to see that they are using power from the battery instead of the "free" power from the wall to do it, every other EV I've owned has turned on the charger to buffer out using the energy already stored into the battery as much as it can.
Caveat is that I'm not on the 2022.35.3 patch so I don't know if they've made an undocumented change for this already.
I'd also like to see an option for enabling the seat and steering wheel heaters automatically with a preconditioning cycle as they were both still quite cold when I sat down after 10 minutes.
And, I'd also like to see Rivian support scheduling departure/climate timers like Polestar has done in the 2. You can set a time of departure from either the center console or within the phone app on the Polestar. Last winter I always had a toasty warm vehicle to get into in the morning and never had to think about it.
