Rivian. For the love of god, turn off the Butt in the Air stopping reverse.
I regularly lift up to see over seats to reverse. My eyes are better than your camera.
Also. I cannot tell you how often on long road trips, I stretch my legs by arching up and taking my butt off the seat...
Short and sweet details.

80 degree weather
mostly Flat Texas drive

They asked me not to post any pictures, so...
Apologies if this has been discussed before:
Has there been any discussion or thought around the ability to swap out the battery pack you initially get, with a larger pack ( or solid state for that matter once they implement )?
I recall an early video of RJ talking about the long term...
