@rivianofficial.bsky.social getting in the rivian family from Tesla. 2 things I hope can be improved through software update: 1- the UI is too busy too many small busy icons and text in too many places, color palette (including the map itself), placement… it is impossible to have just a glance\

While driving and extract the information needed or be able to interact efficiently (the placement of the display also does not help with interaction, but that cannot be fixed with SW). Comparatively, the Tesla UI put the focus on what matters… it is crisp, only one button bar at the bottom \

Of the screen, and since the screen has a bottom edge you can easily find the bottom without looking… everything is easily accessible with a point or swipe… the map is super crisp in both light and dark mode… speed limit is clear… it is easy to see what you need while still seeing the road… \

And the rivian display behind the steering wheel isn’t as helpful since the font are too small and it is partially covered by the steering wheel… it needs too much of a focus 2- the handling remains a bit lose even in the tightest lowest mode… \
