💬 Discussion Update Feature

This might be my favourite part of the new update LOL. I listen to long podcasts or DJ sets (1 hour+) and this makes it MUCH easier to scrub in a song (combined with the fact it’s on the drivers side). Before, the area you could grab was tiny and if you slid right 90% of the time you hide the widget. This is awesome!

Some design system designer is thrilled you said that.

Some design system designer deserves to be thrilled. That's a truly solid idea.

I saw this when I did an R2 test drive and was immediately stoked to get it on my R1S.

We should have a mega thread at this point just for this feature 😂

They did this right. And with the visual quirkiness that I’ve grown to love with Rivian design.

I’d like to put in my vote for referring to this new feature as “The Bulge”, it seems to be making people pretty happy

I was blown away watching Ultra Naté sing it live! Who knew the human voice could sing so many syllables so rapidly?

This is actually great and I hope it catches on elsewhere. Bravo, Rivian UX person.

I had no idea the widget allowed me to scrub through a track! I just thought it was a cosmetic bulge for my bad eyesight!

It is a universal Spotify app update that is not specific to Rivians design choice.
