Rivian features you didn’t think you’d use (but now love)

[electruck4x4]

It’s crazy the number of features trucks have picked up in the last decade.

For us, camp auto-leveling felt like a “nice extra” at first, but it’s turned into something we use almost every trip.

What’s one feature in your Rivian that you didn’t think you’d use much, but now can’t live without?

Pet mode - but never for pets.

Pet mode, I had any 84 year old mom in the truck when I ran in to grab something. She thought Gary was very funny watching her.

Lane change signal on the highway auto reset. Love it!

One pedal driving is not really something i thought I'd never use, but it was the biggest surprise thing that I ended up loving and would expect on any future daily drivers

The easy in, easy out seat adjustment...

Not a small feature, but one that hasn't been well received: Driver plus. I love it driving across North Dakota/Montana or other open farm country...which is every trip to my inlaws.

Also know as wine mode.

The electric outlets. I figured they'd be slightly useful but mostly forgotten when I bought the truck.

I use them all the time, and probably won't buy another car without them.

My truck has a dedicated electric kettle for coffee and a dedicated induction stove that live under the back seat.

My kids are in rugby season now, which involves some long Saturdays. I'm out at the fields making quesadillas or similar every weekend. I'll also frequently do hot chocolate for the kids or coffee for grownups once it starts getting cold.

Just fyi, every EV has that capability. Most are not adjustable though.

You've never driven a Porsche EV then...

I don’t even think about the under seat storage because of the kids’ car seats. But it’s not a bad idea to have some dedicated stuff to “live” in the there and just move the car seats when needed.

Now to electrify all the RVs so snowbirds aren't flying off cliffs on their way to Phoenix for the winter! It's amazing how many people are oblivious and cook their brakes riding them downhill.
