What is your "minor wish?"

[The_Mitch]

Option to pause media over Bluetooth when Rivian navigation gives guidance and then resume. (Pause my audio book/podcast, give the turn, wait if you are going to give me another instruction in 5 seconds or less), when done restart my media)

Change to an off-road setting after getting the nanny screen regardless of what the current speed is or previous height setting. Reset the height to what's acceptable for the current speed. Don't ask me if I really meant to go into off-road mode and then refuse to.

A real radio. I know, a lot to ask for in an EV where everything is connected. But for over 60 years I got into a car and the radio worked. Now it is sometimes on as I left it, sometimes it is rebooting, sometimes it says it cannot connect and sometimes I just ride in silence because I am tired of messing with it.

I’d like the Sirius app to function like the traditional FM radio where the steering wheel controls change through favorite stations rather than try to skip tracks within the channel you’re listening to.

A speedo in the middle of the screen in place of the useless images of cars, bikes, cats, goats and ghosts.

I don't know, this is pretty useful (joking ofc)

A dictation button in the keyboard interface.

Heat and ac turning the fan down while you’re trying to do voice to text.

Right slider buttons act as drive mode selectors when not in driver+ mode.

Rear window portal for the R1T.

Like a window that opens?!?! That would be awesome.

CarPlay (I knew it didn’t have it. I tried it without for months, thinking I could get use to it, but the built in infotainment system is terrible by comparison. I tried an add-on screen, but it was buggy and looked terrible. Help me, EVPlay, you’re my only hope.)

2nd-row captain’s chairs (yeah, this is major, but I would have definitely paid for this option).

Physical vent controls.

More physical controls, period. Other car makers are realizing there are some things you frequently need to do while driving (like HVAC) that are simply safer with physical controls you can operate without looking.

Larger fonts everywhere, or at least the option for larger fonts (related: time and temp closer to the driver where they’d be useful).

An easier way to quickly switch between profiles (our Mach-E has Driver 1/2/3 buttons on the driver’s door). Related: seat/mirror/steering-wheel profiles that consistently remember their positions.

An actual glove compartment with some decent room.

A drawer under the 2nd-row middle seat. (We have an aftermarket one but it’s held in place by friction. Would love to have a “real” one.)

Driver+ being a simple button on the steering wheel instead of the silly “double-pull the shift level.” (“Wait, I thought I pulled it twice…Okay, I double-pulled it again…What if I madly pull it 5 times?”) And pushing that lever forward to disable is even less intuitive.

Being able to unlock the speaker/drawer dock while the vehicle is in motion.

SiriusXM via satellite.

Launch Mode for Dual Performance — I don’t need this but sometimes I want it to show off the car (safely, of course).

As others have said, I want more control through the phone app - when I’m camping I want to be able to control some of the camp mode settings remotely and I want to be able to turn the bed light on/off via the app.
I also think it’s way past time that we get text integration. Come on Rivian, let’s get this done!

Yes. My fishing rods would appreciate it being housed in the cab.

 

[DuoRivians]

Much more robust suspension components and half shafts

Secondary/multiple "home" locations for proximity locking. Quick button (on the access screen?) to disable proximity locking while I'm doing something around the vehicle not at home. Doesn't seem too major.

 

[schwartz83]

Very minor. I'd like a couple longer following distances for adaptive cruise. I'm fine with what we have for interstate driving, but for two lane driving with no real opportunity to pass I feel I'm too close to the vehicle ahead of me. I just adjust my speed...so not a huge deal of course.

The ability to unlock the car from the passenger-side door. Also, a glove compartment would be nice.
