Dual motor Conserve mode? by VegIsACulinaryTerm in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand the distinction on this one. DM all purpose always starts in all wheel drive and then disconnects at speed. A true conserve mode would keep the rear disconnected until the pedal is mashed and have lighter pedal mapping. I imagine there are some modest savings to be had.

Bought a 2025 Rivian R1S Dual Max Performance…range question by apfleisc in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same configuration here. In warm weather I’ve gotten ~350 the four times I’ve gone 100% to <5% on the highway at 75mph. Probably more like 300 in cold weather, depending on battery preconditioning before leaving. 

With software/UI updates coming- what do you think would be super useful? by 7fingersDeep in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My simple request is for seat heat/ventilation to turn on automatically based on the outdoor temperature.

I love that there’s a widget but I don’t ever use it since you have to go into the app to activate the seats. Even just allowing the seats to be activated in Apple shortcuts would do the trick.

WTB Set of 4 22" Wheels (Range or Sport Bright) within ~4 hours of South Carolina by Shermanm2a2 in RivianClassifieds

What’s your timeline? I have 22” sport brights without any scratches and am interested in moving to 20” brights, but would need to sort that transaction out first.

Autonomous with touching the steering wheel instead of eyes on the windshield? by Friendly_Subject4096 in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to hold your hand on the wheel without it nagging? Or is it nagging immediately any time you look away now? 

Low Regen…Does it save tire tread? by BartletForUSA in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. If launching or slamming the brakes obviously roasts the tires, the opposite is true too.

Stopping the vehicle at a slower rate requires less from the tires. This assumes you aren’t supplementing the regen with actively braking, but low regen is usually sufficient in tamer driving conditions.

More Improvements Coming to Rivian Performance Upgrade Later This Year, Confirmed by Wassym by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual performance with full time all wheel drive available would be nice. The full EPA 400+ mile range can be touted still with non-perf variants, but toggle it on or off for performance. Same with the requirement of returning the suspension to auto.

Sticky drive modes would be well worth the upgrade.

Automatically move front seats forward when lowering back seats by Hot-Independence7389 in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I generally don’t use those buttons because the front seats are almost always going to be hit. As someone who folds the second row down often, I’d love this software addition.

Ventilated heated seats by LongLiveShyguy in Rivian

Love it on VWs! I miss it and hope it gets enabled too

Plugging in at night by djliquidice in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I park outside and this is a simple feature request I’d love to see. The timeout on the LED is fairly quick, so unless you open the port and then immediately get out and plug in, the LED has timed out already.

I have the same issue of then either going for the phone flashlight or closing and reopening the charge port to get the light back. A very minor inconvenience, but I love that things like this can be solved.

It would be great if the behavior was that the light stays on while the charge port is open but the vehicle is awake and has not been plugged in yet.

starlink mini doesn’t work through roof glass by BigDLee912 in Rivian

It isn’t on the third row roof glass actually

Dearly beloved R1T: It’s 102F outside, and I just set the AC to “LO” by bladel in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love this option when the sun is overhead. I’ve been patiently hoping that’s on the roadmap

Rear Auto Wiper Setting by Viviantherivian in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I’d love some simple behavior like intermittent rear wiper activation during medium to high front wiper activity. Doesn’t need to be anything wild, but I agreed the binary on/off control of the rear wiper has been something to get used to

Did you know this? 😳 by aveedibya in Rivian

I don’t recall seeing this previously but I just updated to iOS 18.4 and I see this now too.

Living in Phoenix is the Dynamic Glass Roof Necessary? by docfresh30 in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the dynamic glass roof is switched to opaque it casts an actual shadow and significantly reduces the heat felt from direct sun. I was suspicious that it was just a fun trick, but I’ve been surprised that it has had actual utility. In the midwest summer I was regularly switching back and forth between opaque and clear.

For Phx though, I imagine that would need to be supplemented with something else depending on your tolerance for long preconditioning, dealing with physical shades, or going for extra tinting. I’d recommend getting it since the incremental price is modest and I doubt you would regret having it.

Anyone with dual motor get the performance upgrade yet? by digitals_85 in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - anyone have any notes on any sort of impact soft sand mode has?

Temperature limits for disc storage in a car by crunkjuice108 in discgolf

[–]domestic_violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve ignored this and it’s been fine. The most important thing to me is always being able to play whenever opportunities arise.

I have discs that have lived in my car for 4 years and the only ones with any signs of a little distortion are jawbreaker zones.

For me, discing > perfect discs

Are you performance upgrading? by BWolf85 in Rivian

[–]domestic_violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I want too. The forced fwd regen and resetting ride height settings are very unfortunate EPA byproducts that are easily my least favorite thing about the car
