Just curious if anyone from Rivian is reading this... I think it would be beneficial if they did keep in touch with the community, even if just by being a fly on the wall. Are there other forums that are even more active than this site? How does Rivian engage the owners/preorder holders on a public scale, if at all? I realize that customer service/communication is time consuming so I would think watching the forums would be a very efficient way of keeping their finger on the pulse of the customer.

You’ll find out s00n when you start getting poorly-subjected emails that make you think you’re getting early access to something good, that turns out to be a story about how a pair of Rivian siblings got theirs before you get yours.

The demand for these is high enough currently that I think there's little incentive for them to watch the forums.

They probably are reading, therefore I would like...
1. To be able to play my MP4 files from a USB, is anybody listening?
2. With the climate on auto, drop the fan speed down to 2 sooner so that I have peace and quiet.
3. When in All-Purpose, faster throttle response with less pedal movement in Standard height, dare I say more Tesla-like. (might have been done in the last update?)
4. I don't want my name on the screen, this is a more of need, I need to be able to have something more generic, allow me to change it.
5. Record from the onboard cameras.

Other than that, I think it's a brilliant vehicle. Are these "First world problems?"

In quite a few chats with CS and several conversations with guides, all of them were aware of the various Rivian forums, but none of them seemed to actually have monitored any. I suspect that's also the case for Rivian management and exec team as well, perhaps with the exception of Tony C.

True Brit...I'm trying to wrap my head around why it would be problematical to have your first name (only) displayed on the screen. I can understand if you were going by a pseudonym while operatinig a ride share, but surely your passengers pretty much already "know who you are".

You can set up a driver profile with any name you want, so when you're wearing your superhero costume no one will know your true identity.

Is there any chance that Rivian will add CarPlay, Android Auto and Sirrus to the SUV? Seems so strange that this state of the art car lacks these features?

It's somewhere between "Yes, definitely" and "No, never."

The point of being redundant, I am still waiting on the ability to send and receive a text from my R1T. My four-year-old Honda CRV has this capability.
