Smarter UI: Stacked Buttons to Simplify Rivian’s Control Menu

I can't really tell if it was the latest update that caused this issue with my Rivian R1S. A few days after I updated my Rivian software to the latest version, my R1S locked and unlocked every time I passed by the garage, which was kind of strange at first. I looked for the proximity lock setting for my home address, but it was missing from the menu. It was like the truck doesn’t recognize my house anymore. The constant noise from the locks was disruptive when my husband was working in the garage, and I was concerned I’d need to contact service before we eventually found a solution that worked. So, we removed our home address from the navigation system, re-entered it, and performed a soft reset. Then, I toggled the proximity lock setting off and back on. Within seconds, the full menu reappeared, including the home lock option. It’s been functioning normally since then, with no random locking. If anyone’s R1S is having this issue, try these steps. I hope this helps others avoid the trouble I experienced.

Hey, has anyone else noticed how the full-size buttons on Rivian’s control screen make you scroll way more than needed? I get that it’s probably their design vibe, but it feels clunky when you’re just trying to tap something quick.

If they switched to smaller, half-width buttons with the icon and text stacked, it’d be so much smoother. You’d see more options at once, no scrolling, and the screen would look cleaner too.

The new charge port button might need a slight tweak to fit, but I threw together a rough sketch, and it feels way better. Anyone else annoyed by the constant scrolling on that screen? I’m curious if you guys think smaller buttons with stacked text would make things easier or if you’re cool with how it is now.
