I recently saw this 8 minutes video on YouTube that a Rivian owner posted about some quick and dirty 'stealth camping' on Highway 1 overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
So in the video, he noticed something with the interior lights while sleeping in his R1S that he either forgot or never noticed before. So he noticed that he could not manually turn on/off or adjust the cabin lights with the car locked.
Like imagine you are getting ready to sleep and it's pitch dark. You need to do something in the dark for a second and reach out to the touch sensitive cabin lights. But they won't turn on unless you unlock the vehicle, which will just turn on all lights and blind you anyways. This was how he described the incident.
I don't think I've experienced this before or maybe it could be a software error? He had the power on and AC on overnight as well.
Don't know if it's a software issue but I hope Rivian adds the ability to use the lights with the car locked. If they are worried about people leaving the lights on and forgetting about it, then a simple turn off timer would work as well.
If you are interested, here is a link to the full video:
