Seem to be an electric car problem in general, being software companies they think they can do better while just undermining customer experience.
Tesla does the same.

Rivian R1T
Rivian, an electric vehicle manufacturer, unveiled its highly anticipated Electric Adventure Vehicles - the R1T, an all-electric pickup and the R1S, an all-electric SUV - at events surrounding the 2018 LA Auto Show.
The R1T, a 5-passenger pickup truck, and the R1S, a 7-passenger SUV, have up to 400+ miles in electric range, a wading depth of 1 meter, lockable storage bins that can fit the bulkiest of gear, and the performance and precise control of quad-motor AWD, Rivian vehicles have been developed to help customers get out and explore the world. Both vehicles will be produced at Rivian's manufacturing facility in Normal IL.
"We're launching Rivian with two vehicles that reimagine the pickup and SUV segments," said Rivian Founder and CEO RJ Scaringe. "I started Rivian to deliver products that the world didn't already have - to redefine expectations through the application of technology and innovation. Starting with a clean sheet, we have spent years developing the technology to deliver the ideal vehicle for active customers. This means having great driving dynamics on any surface on- or off-road, providing cargo solutions to easily store any type of gear, whether it's a surf board or a fishing rod and, very importantly, being capable of driving long distances on a single charge. From the inside out, Rivian has developed its vehicles with adventurers at the core of every design and engineering decision. The R1T and R1S are the result of all this work and we are excited to finally introduce these products to the world."

Doug DeMuro's Video On The Rivian R1T's 'Quirks And Features' Is 45 Minutes Long. Literally.
The King of Quirk meets the quirkiest pickup on Earth, and the result is exactly what you expect.
The Rivian R1T is the coolest pickup truck ever made. Not only do I believe that to be true (okay, I do find older trucks to be cooler, but I’ll assume Doug means “coolest when new”), but that’s also the title of former Jalop, YouTube baller, and auto sales businessman Doug DeMuro’s recent video. Watch as the King of Quirk ogles over the quirkiest new pickup truck in the world.
You may have already seen this, because it’s from five days ago and has 1.3 million views, but if you haven’t, now’s the time.
I’m not nearly the quirk fetishist that Doug is, but even I couldn’t resist getting excited by the Rivian’s wacky features. Seriously, look at how thrilled my dopey face looks in this thumbnail of my own quirk-related R1T video:
I felt a bit guilty making that video above and writing my article “Your Guide To The 2022 Rivian R1T Electric Pickup’s Incredible Gadgets,” because even though Doug doesn’t own a patent/copyright/trademark on the term “quirk” or on the concept of showing people automotive gizmos, he’s the best at the game. The GOAT.

fok, the R1S looks *good*
"We made our first R1S deliveries last week from our factory in Normal, IL to RJ and our CFO Claire. We’re working towards ramping production over the next few months on our way to full volume production. Thanks to our team for all the hard work to make it happen!"
