Software Update Coming: set drive mode in trip planner, 12v battery health notifications, manage calls with thumb on steering wheel

You know what I want? Weather radar overlaid on my nav screen, if I ever get my truck. Tech has existed for ages, should be standard on every vehicle by now.

Should be standard in an "Adventure Vehicle" at the very least!

It directed me to make an illegal turn at that intersection. You cannot legally turn left from a right hand turn lane, especially when there is traffic stopped at the light on the road you are turning onto. The correct left hand turn at that intersection is clearly marked on the road.

Did that route in July back to SLT and directed me to the 2 left turn lanes

Can't use the Rivian map/trip planner app because it can't find places in CA and NV that I normally drive to; example, typed in friends address in North Hollywood, and it wanted to take me 2 miles away at an address that wasn't even the street name I typed in. The Rivian app can't find the Bishop Rivian Charger for a charge stop after 120 miles from home. Tried to take me the wrong direction for a one-way alley in Santa Monica, CA to a public parking lot with EVgo charger. The app is always trying to send me off the 2-lane highway 95, only north/south NV route, for a 100 ft turn around on a dirt roads along the way. Very frustrating to say the least, so I went back to my android maps and check several direct charging company apps as well as SharePlug to plan a trip.

I'm sure I'm missing it, but "Resume" Mode while using cruise control is sorely missing.. .
Just got my "Tarkus" 4 weeks ago Sat & 5000 Mile work trip from Atlanta to Central Pennsylvania & back to Atlanta was a killer without Resume button.

Got an Email with some upcoming SW updates. Looking forward to 12V battery monitoring

• Coming in the next software update: select drive mode in trip planner, 12v battery health notifications, and manage calls with the thumb controls on your steering wheel.

Hoping for a scheduled climate timer. Ie: at 3pm, cool cabin to 70 degrees for 1 hr rather than having to do it by hand every day, especially in areas with spotty cell service.

It's been said a million times, but old-fashioned, dumb cruise control would be nice. I like to drive. I bought this because I enjoy driving. Just keep a speed for me for awhile sometimes. Sheesh.

You didn't miss it... that feature doesn't exist on a Rivian yet.
Resume has been a standard feature going back to the 1980's era cruise control systems.. really weird that it was not baked in on release?

It's becoming more apparent over time that people who had input in system designs at Rivian had no or extremely limited driving experence in the real world.

*REALLY* looking forward to "select drive mode in trip planner" - I want to plan my towing trips ahead of time!

Ooooh, the Rivian Center in Vancouver is just in time for Fully Charge Live! (Which I'll be bringing my R1T to.)

I have to say that my BMW has the auto-tilt-the-side-mirror-in-reverse function that some are crowing about, and I hate it, don't need it, and find it actually throws off my parallel parking mojo when engaged. I would prefer they not include that unless it is made optional and can be disabled.

Someone may have covered this or you might already know but in BMWs I believe that is optional. Which is great, everything should be an option even if buried deep in a settings menu

Edit: and those someone's are @NY_Rob and @zefram47 . Way to beat me to it with more details

Would love for an automatic interior jug and exterior tube release so I can pee on long drives.

Is your range that much better than mine or your bladder just smaller? I think the benefit of EVs is the forces out stops
