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

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

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.
