It is a good idea whether it has been discussed here or not. Tesla vehicles do have it but not everyone who reads this forum owns a Tesla. Tesla also has a "dog mode" which keeps the car cool enough for your pooch(es) when parked in hot weather and displays a large message to busybodies to the effect that they are safe. I think it safe to assume that Rivian will have similar, if not exactly the same features.
Besides operator comfort pre conditioning of the car has implications with respect to charging and regeneration (which involves charging). Pre heating is particularly easy to do in a BEV as electric heaters can be used (no need for the engine to warm up).
By bringing this up you have at a minimum called it to the attention of readers who may not be familiar with what Tesla or other manufacturers do in this regard. That's why I am so puzzled as to why someone thinks the thread should be terminated.
