For kicks, on rare occasion, I have been known to put it in off road highest to park. Let the truck stand proud while I run into the store real quick.
I did that yesterday when I parked next to a lifted Bronco. It's better for the R1S's self esteem. Can't be outdone in the TJ's parking lot!

I want my R1s to kneel for me and then go back to high when I walk away. Anyone else?
I have wished for an anti-kneel mode. I drive in sport/lowest mode, but park in off road mode. An automatic switch between the two would be nice.

For some reason that I don't understand, after I installed running boards it seems easier to get in when it is up high then when it is down low.

I was doing this after parking manually, because I was hoping it would avoid door dings.... I installed running boards so I thought with the truck at the highest settings, the running boards will catch any careless doors flung open...then I still got a door ding anyway. lol

What would this mode be called?

Like in a Tesla Joe mode is for people who want notifications turned way down.

I used to park my LR3 in high mode when in tight spots. Car doors would hit the running boards before the paint in most cases.
I suppose therein lies your issue. You wouldn't need kneel if you had running boards.

I am used to jumping in & out of my tall riggs, so I leave it in high when I can... I would settle for just being allowed to leave it in high when under 55 instead of 45 MPH.
Any idea why rally mode doesnā€™t have this limitation?

I park in highest exclusively if the truck is going to be there overnight to make it harder on the rodents.

I do this with the Rivian all the time!

I frequently park off-road highest when I want to avoid door dings or to you just look cool. However, I wouldnā€™t use an auto high feature for the same reason I donā€™t use the kneel mode, Because I donā€™t park at the same height all the time. a manual high/low toggle button in Park would be cool.

Yes, it is intended for lower traction surfaces... Sliding rather than hooking up. Hooking up is when ya flip...
