What is your wishlist for the phone app?

[trez63]

I’ve been patiently waiting for an app update and hoping it’s a big one. Knowing fhat RIVIAN engineers actually come here from time to time I thought maybe this will be a good thread to let them know what we want.
I’ll start the list and you guys can add to it:

1) ability to start/stop charging from the app when the car is plugged in.
2) access to the settings menu from within the app
3) ability to change ride height when car is parked
4) open different compartments like frunk and gear tunnel
5) view gear guard videos or at least notifications
6) live video feed (subscription maybe)
7) send map directions to the car
8) ability to move the car with app (like Tesla / bmw) out of a tight parking spot perhaps
9) control the outlets and 12v power supplies
10) change the charge threshold

• Separate the lock/unlock toggle. make them distinct, so that I can hit unlock twice to unlock passenger doors.
• Have the car/app recognize who the person walking up is and have the car adjust the driver settings (ours doesn't, could be a glitch?)

Ability to change max charge level. Use case is if my default is 70%, but I decide in the evening that I’m going to take a longer drive tomorrow, then I can change to 85% or 100% for tonight’s charge.

Similarly (but probably not an app thing), the ability to tell the car when I need to leave so it can then plan to charge and max out close to that time.

Off the top of my head:

• Charging controls
  • Start/stop charging
  • Set maximum charge rate
  • Set maximum charge %
  • Schedule charging stop/start times
• Open/close frunk
• Open gear tunnel doors
• Open tailgate
• View cameras (both live + recordings)
• Push notifications when gear guard is triggered, and tap to view video (similar to Ring)
• Send location to vehicle navigation
• All settings should be linked to user profile, and auto-switch profiles based on which phone-as-key is on the DRIVER side.
• Add/Revoke keys + send "guest" key to people (SMS or email invitation) with ability to have no limit, a date/time limit, or a "one time" limit. Also ability to set max-speed/acceleration limits on the guest keys.
• A trip log that shows date/time of drives, including start/end locations and distance traveled.
• Apple Watch app that supports:
  • ** Ideal ** As a key to passively unlock+drive
  • Lock/unlock
  • Start climate conditioning

Great suggestion; I'd add:

• Schedule preconditioning (heat & cool)
• Car locator when parked in a large or multilevel lot
• Full view of car status, i.e., charge, internal/external temp., milage & trip, GPS integration & maintenance/problem status

Turn on heated seats/steering wheel and defrost windows with climate conditioning in cold weather

Similarly (but probably not an app thing), the ability to tell the car when I need to leave so it can then plan to charge and max out close to that time.

This wasn't an in-app feature for Tesla until recently, but lemme tell you: it's really nice to have as an in-app feature.

turn on bed lights

 

[BillyBob]

this will be a good threat to let them know

Was that Freudian?
