Many times have I flipped the car from reverse to drive, or vise versa, only to find that it didn't take. It turns out, at least on G1 vehicles, that one can flub the stalk, see and feel it moving appropriately, but it's just shy of triggering the sensor. Now, you're still left in the mode you were in before! When backing into or out of tight parking spaces, that's not good, as you're usually only a foot away from disaster if the car is going in a different direction than you intended. At the same time, you're looking out for traffic or concentrating on your mirrors or camera, and you may not always look down to check the tiny, tiny indicator on the instrument panel.
So, my ask to Rivian is: 1) improve the experience so that the stalk needs to make a tactile click in order to switch from drive to reverse. The stalk is just too cheaply made to do what it needs to do. b) for those of us in G1 (and maybe G2) vehicles, add an audible chime when switching from drive to reverse (and vise versa) so that I know when the stalk change didn't work. Or c) ideally fix the sensitivity of the stalk to be higher.
Thank you (in advance), Rivian.
