Wishlist of small things that Rivian can improve (that bug you)

[hudesigns]

Start this topic for people to show things that bug them but Rivian can improve without spending buckets of money.

Font sizes on displays. Some information are so important that drivers check often when driving. They need to be larger and more eye catching. Design vs Utility issue.

DC fast charging is one important aspect of EV road tripping especially in winter times. Provide drivers with more relevant info to reduce anxiety.

Here is BMW upcoming iX3 charging screen that shows how much your EV can take in max vs charging station is able to give max. Very important.

Wait, hold on, can we talk about your efficiency for a second? Did you replace the body of your R1 with a Prius?

I'll give you this one. I'd like to see it as well. On this too, when preconditioning, in the energy app it says "Ready for up to ____kW" that metric is in 25kW increments and is always lower. Example "Ready for up to 100kW" it'll usually pull around 150kW. The BMS always knows the max, why not just display it accurately within 5kW increments??

I would like an option for different center screens on the drivers display. I give ZERO craps about what the truck "sees" for about 90% of my driving. Would rather have an analog speedo, and some other information from the drivetrain screen on there.

probably coincidence, driving past Berkshire downhill on I-90 on my last trip.

I bet if you go back and find a similar thread from a couple years ago, the same things will show up that Rivian still hasn't addressed yet so don't expect them to actually add any of these to their list.

• Why does PAAK take forever to wakeup when fob can unlock immediately
• Valet mode
• Native text messaging
• Access to Playstore apps
• Logs and error messages menu with some basic advice
• Ability to customize screens with movable widgets so I can see more than 1 thing on that huge screen.
• RAD tuner for all of us
• Ability to turn off 1 pedal driving
• FM radio that works
• 12v battery reset that works
• Rear screen ability to stream video while driving

I would like an odometer always visible, preferably on the driver display.

-Clunky front suspension. So loud. All the time.
-Valet mode.
-Get rid of the neighboring cars in the driver's display. Inaccurate, distracting, pointless.

iPhone Connectivity:
I have repeat connectivity problems with my iPhone. I see a lot of "red clouds". the Rivian and iPhone can be on wifi and cellular and still show the red cloud, along with a message about limited connectivity. That means that you can't connect to the Rivian and start up the climate control (as an example). A hard reset can usually fix this and I have even reset the phone and had connectivity restored - but I have to do this all the time - why?? Ive seen this happen while sitting in the Rivian at home with great connections to Rivian and iPhone, but they are still not talking to each other. When the Rivian is showing the red cloud it usually has an incorrect location showing from some previous trip. I can't do a hard reset while sitting in a restaurant wanting to heat up the interior of the R1S !!!

AND make it big enough to read, along with the digital clock.

PRIMARY Driver - If you read both FOB's or Phones, Pick the PRIMARY - oh wait you can't set who is the primary ;-)

If profiles switch - Restart the music that that profile was listening to last. You load up my profile and music choices, you just don't start the music.

GM has a power bar like this during charging, it only pops up when the charger is unable to support the request from the vehicle. It does take into account the actual limit of the charger.
