2) Text to speech for incoming text messages, and speech to text for outgoing text messages.
I'm surprised at how silent Rivian has been on this topic. It's a huge safety issue and one of the largest and most obvious benefits of CarPlay, which they claim "they can do it better" :rolleyes:

After staying at a hotel this week, there is an absolute must add:
Valet explainer screen. I’ve had to explain the basics to every valet including talking them through it on the phone when a new valet has to bring it back.
Just a simple “there is no start button, use the stalk for reverse drive park” would do wonders.

Just stop playing with your phone while driving. You aren't that important.
Ah yes, "we can do it better" always reverts back to "just don't do the things that every other car lets you do".

Very productive.

I'm just tired of people saying it's a safety issue when it's self-induced. You can want those features without it being a safety problem.

Selectable tire size, even if it’s just what rivian offers. There’s got to be others out there who’d want to have both a range set and an all terrain or winter set.

Passenger seat memory.
Passenger seat memory AND multiple memory slots for driver AND a guest driver profile. Kinda weird to think this hasn't been done.

Each driver has a memory spot. Are you referring to multiple memory slots for one driver? Guest driver doesn’t really matter because a guest can move the seat and as soon as I get back in it goes to my position.

How do you access the passenger memory? I don't recall a way.

And without a guest profile, doesn't the seat move back to driver settings every time they get in and they have to readjust?

I'm also concerned with a guest tapping "remember" and overwriting the driver profile.

Better to just have a guest user/profile, imo.

-creep mode, no auto hold I mean

-the ability to have a better shipping mode for the people that don't want the parasitic drain, especially when parked overnight at home. I have no interest in phone as a key.

-option to make cameras come on automatically when park assist is activated, ie slow speed maneuvering

I have been told by multiple Rivian employees that "we read all the forums".. so in order of importance:

1) Get vampire drain under control
2) Text to speech for incoming text messages, and speech to text for outgoing text messages.
This one hundred percent, the worst thing about the vampire drain is that it's unnecessary, it's not an EV characteristic at all, I've never had one that does it until now.
It's the equivalent of buying a new ICE car with a steady fuel leak.

Actually, it's more akin to purchasing an ICE vehicle who's engine can not be turned off and just wastefully idles forever waiting for the next "adventure" to begin or until it has emptied the fuel tank at which time you are forced to refill it so the engine can continue idling again.

I think there's some confusion here.

There isn't a way to set passenger seat memory. That's a feature I'd like to see added.

Regarding the driver seat memory, you can add a guest driver and just associate them with the key fob. We use PAAK for both drivers in our truck, so the fob is just for when we have it serviced or need to give the key to someone who's not us.

I know there are different teams and whatnot, but an all-hands-on-deck swarm to do nothing more than fix the absurd vampire drain is an update I'd take and not ask for anything else for quite a while. I met an F-150 lightning owner in my neighborhood and he didn't even know what vampire drain was. Imagine that.
My Dad has a lightning and wishes his range loss was as minimal as mine. The lightning displays the guess-o-meter more prominently than the % SOC and the GOM doesen't seem to display reduced range while stored but instead indicates a large range decrease over the first few miles driven. My Mach-e shows way more range loss from cold temperatures than my R1T. In my experience the Fords have worse loss of range while parked at least in temperatures below 55 degrees (aka 8 months of the year in upstate NY).
