Rivian Software Wishlist

Google Maps is a big improvement, but one thing missing is the ability to look at different routes and pick one. It may be assumed people always want the fastest or the best charging stops, but there are often 2-3 good choices, and I am missing not having any options.

I love showing off our R1T for Halloween and Christmas, but it's sad when the each theme is only available for about a week before each holiday. I would like to request the entire month to be dedicated to each holiday! Including a Thanksgiving mode! I'm not even asking for much... just give me [optional] themed lock/unlock sounds at the very least. i.e. October 1st hits, I want to hear spooky ghost sounds. November 1st hits, I want to hear turkey gobbles. December 1st hits, I want to hear jingle bells. January 1st hits, back to normal. Please meet those of us that begin decorating for Christmas in September at the latest halfway! ;)

Tesla has the feature of cabin overheat protection - it will make sure the cabin temp does not go over your specified temp (starting @ 99 degrees and going to 120). This makes sure that you also don't get in the car with really high temps. I often forget to turn on the AC before getting in the car and have had the cabin be over 140 degrees. Would love for the Rivian to keep itself cool like my Tesla does

Looking to have the car start lowering when approaching home. I have a bike rack that’s just too high when in all purpose mode and I don’t want to have to switch between modes since I use all purpose most.

I’ve noticed this only works on highway but not regular roads? Coming from a Tesla this was a feature I learned not to live without. The fact that the Rivian signal are so quiet, I find myself leaving them on for a long time before realizing they’re still on. Can they make them louder?

Use the windshield Wiper rain detection to automatically close open windows if it starts to rain.

When stopped at a Red Light, have an audible alert when the light turns green.

Can you add a mode like pet comfort, to keep climate on, but without the need to confirm (for pet safety) and without the pet comfort graphics on the screen? This would make enabling faster and avoid the awkwardness of the pet comfort screen when no pets are present.

Use Driver+ anywhere lanes are detected. The fact they have to be pre-mapped when this is NOT a level 3 autonomous (which was promised at time of preorder) seems ridiculous.

When the car automatically switches the theme of its infotainment to light or dark mode, you see everything load in. Like the navigation, which all of the roads load in again. Rivian should be able to preload that in the background and then fade into the theme.
