Valet mode-anyone interested?

[PowerBugs]

If your Rivian have a valet mode feature, what would you like to have or not do? I don’t like handing my T to a valet but if it can’t be avoided, I would like this feature:
Top speed to 45, no access to the frunk, tunnel or truck bed, no access to Gearguard or general settings.

There are several threads here on this… here is my list:
Reduced Power

Infotainment locked in camera app mode

No audio other than alerts

HVAC minimum settings / defrost only

Only front doors unlock.

only front windows go down, go back up when car locks

All compartments like frunk, tonneau, tail gate, tunnel, center console stay locked

Alert to app if moved more than a mile

Charge port remains unlocked even if car is locked so valet can plug in or disconnect level 2 without a key

Yeah, this has been discussed on this forum for years. Maybe you can summarize those threads and post your summary here so we don't have to repeat all those discussions?

You know, you could sort of fake the performance part of this by unplugging something suspension related, then plugging it back in and do a hard reset. Depends on how much you trust the valet people I guess.

...just don't use valet.

Bugatti, Koenigsegg, McLaren maybe.... Rivian not concerned.

We use valet in NYC garages fairly frequently so I'll add to the list:

• 4-digit pin to enable/disable valet mode
• No changes in suspension height
• Top allowed speed in valet mode would be a user setting
• App screen changes to "Valet Mode" (like it does in Service Mode)
• An alert to the app whenever it's moved
• All remote functionality from the app except adjusting the charging limit is disabled (i.e. can't open the frunk or trunk remotely)

While there are other software updates I'd like to see first (V2L is higher on my list), this ranks up there because it's something I use frequently. While I'm wishing, I'd also like to see the rubber duckie on the driver's screen when the Rivian is in Car Wash mode - having it on the app is cute, but it should be in both places.

I’ve never used this feature on any car.

For me, its never been about he value of the vehicle. I just don't like strangers driving any of my vehicles.

Also, gear guard and drive record both on, and cannot be disabled.

Not the money but media pull to use the vehicle in a video or the wow look at me factor to take it around the block a few times. Nobody is doing this with a honking SUV or common truck.

They generally don’t allow me to patronize places nice enough to have valet parking.

They may not let YOU through the door, but they'll happily let your Rivian in the lot

Yes, valet mode is needed.
