600mi range and 2000hp aside, what is the one little thing that you wish you could change?

Mine is probably the fact that I cannot adjust the fan speed when the rear climate display is up. Sometimes it defaults to rear climate because I have to go into the interface to turn in on for the kids at the start of the ride, but later I tap the climate to turn the fan up/down and I can't do that until I tap back to the front. Why? Meanwhile, there's this entirely useless "schedule climate" button that I can't even press while driving, same with Pet mode (can only be tapped when parked). Seems like an inefficient use of screen real estate.

Displaying the map across the entire instrument cluster. Would rather keep eyes ahead than down and to my right, and would prefer that over a picture of my car and 80 size font of the speed limit lol

Wish I could afford more goodies. Like the slide out gear tunnel toolboxes. And the option to buy Gen 2 tonneau cover for all vehicles in the gear shop.

Right slider buttons act as drive mode selectors when not in driver+ mode.

Rear window portal for the R1T.

Street names on the driver display map. Even better would be a larger driver map (with street names).

I probably wouldn't even consider getting rid of my R1T if they had actually released it.

The ability to play music I own without having to go through these damn streaming services.

The current implementation of the bluetooth player sucks donkey balls.

Curious - what other vehicles do/did you have better Bluetooth experiences in?

My previous Teslas didn't even allow me to see a playing queue & album art was spotty at best. Rivian has been better in that regard (granted, I set the Bluetooth AVRCP version to 1.6 & that made album art always show up in my Rivian...).

I've never had a great bluetooth experience, and maybe that's not the right technology. I don't know the technical side well enough to have much of an opinion.

I did have a good experience (for the era) of plugging my phone into my 2014 Mazda. It was a USB cable, but I could view albums, filter by artist, genre, all, etc. I'd be happy with a slightly modernized version of this.

EDIT: Tell me more about this AVRCP thing. It's the first I've heard of it. What are the Rivian options here?
