I'd like to be able to arbitrarily select camera layouts or primary views in the camera view. This would be helpful in tight Chicago alleys and such. Eg maybe I want to select the bed view, or the side repeater, etc or some combination thereof.

Overlay traffic info into the gauge cluster map.
I don't normally drive in traffic, but I hit some last night. I had the mini map up in the drivers display, and it showed the traffic overlay just like the main nav screen. Not sure if that's new, or when it became an active feature, but should help solve at least one of your asks!

Really? Mine definitely doesn't do that... Maybe there's an option somewhere I need to find.

There is a setting in the center nav for traffic. Maybe that affects both?

1. Throttle at low speeds is difficult to control in tight spaces. A bad tap and you can lurch forward or back. Low speed handling seems wonky 1-3mph forward and reverse.
2. Regen needs a low setting in all drive modes, maybe a 33% reduction from standard
3. Obviously voice to text and text to voice
4. The blinker throws me off as well, I have ended up right-left-right-left blinking trying to turn it off. Not sure what the fix is, but I have not had trouble in 20+ previous cars I have driven since 17 years old.
5. The center screen virtual car map is somewhat useless. I can see the cars myself. The cars I cannot see are behind me. I get that the car is designed to drive like a driver to some extent, but I would be more helpful out of cruise control to see behind me...
6. The Rivian installed license plate holder impacts the camera in both forward and top down. That is quite a miss after 4+ years of waiting and double that testing...for a company with offices in states like CA w/ mandatory plates in front. How could they have missed that in 100,000 hours of testing?
#4 - I tend to do the light press up or down on the stalk and release when I'm in the lane, not the full press. Also an option from what others have mentioned earlier. I'm way late to thread.

#4 Half or full tap in the same direction of the already blinking turns it off. No need to set off the right-left-right-left negative loop...but agree the tactile is off

Sorry if this has already been covered? Some ideas for range estimation with trailer. Last week I took a 2000 mile trip to Moab from Bay area in my R1T towing a 5000 lb trailer. While the miler per kWh average was accurate, the estimated milage and milage remaining after reaching next charger were wrong. It seemed to be using using non trailer data in calculation numbers? Traveling speed had a big impact on the range. For example at 65 mph was seeing 1.2 miles per kWh but slowing down to 50 mpg we could stretch to 1.5 miles per kWh. Headwind and altitude difference also had big impact. It would be useful to have a suggestion to make next charger based on current journey averages. Like "Suggest keep speed below 55 mph". Thank-you for excellent truck

How about dark mode displays suitable for for daytime use. It's pretty much just the Nav that needs to be tweaked to provide higher contrast in bright ambient conditions. If I could read the map in dark mode during the day, I would leave it in dark mode all the time - I much prefer that over blinding white screens.

Ability to manipulate mapped favorites from the phone app (and web too while we're at it!). Would really speed up pre-planning for trips.

Move the odometer and trip odometer back to where they can be seen without digging into menus (and I wouldn't mind it if they were to add a 3rd trip odometer, too).
Move the Clock to the screen in front of the driver (and make it large enough that RJ will still be able to read it 20 years from now). There are a lot of text and/or symbols that are just too small - and there is wasted space on the display that could be better utilized. The clock is one that bothers me a lot. I can look at my wristwatch in the daytime (when I'm wearing it), but I have to risk having an accident every time I want to read the tiny clock readout at the far edge of the display.
Move the blinker indicators somewhere into the middle of the display (or allow the user to set their position). As with most cars (for me), the blinker indicators are hidden behind the steering wheel - I have to duck my head down to see them. That is one reason I was hoping that Rivian would go with a yoke, instead of a wheel.

Yes yes yes please

My one big request continues to be the odometer - why does it need to be so difficult to find? Especially for non-Rivian service like tire changes when we have to go digging for it just to get our vehicle checked in with the service person.

Also agree with the trip odometers and clock display - at least make it an option to add to the driver screen.

On the plus side, I just had to change the clock in my Mom's Subaru, and it was the most convoluted process I've ever seen. At least we aren't subjected to that.
