Steering Wheel Button

[speedrye]

If the nice, round power button on the steering wheel didn't have a logo on it and was instead programmable with most any vehicle function, what would you program your button to do? Also, would you like the button to be a different color, or is the generic blackish fine?

I'd prefer some regen paddles, but in the absence of those, I think I'd use it as a regen toggle, kinda like downshifting gears. Standard regen per my settings normally, but say three additional, more progressively aggressive regen settings with each push of the button. Each time I come to a stop, it reverts back to my standard regen setting.

Oh yeah, I think I'd like it orange, with the Scout "S" on it.

I’ve been talking about the Grenadier a lot today.

Anyway, the Grenadier steering wheel has a red button on it that’s the “toot” horn. Smaller horn for pedestrians and cyclists so as not to scare people to death. I did really like that smaller horn button.

If the button is going to be a color it needs to be Scout orange or blue.

Now my sons Elantra N has a red button on the steering wheel and it’s a boost button. 10 more hp for 20 seconds (or 20 hp for 10 seconds, I always forget which).

As an aside, Grenadiers have a saddle leather option for the steering wheel which is really nice. I still have a bunch of the pictures from when I test drove them.

what would you program your button to do?

Shoot squid and blast smokescreens

If a more subtle orange I’d be on board. Otherwise I’d like milled aluminum with S stamped in it. I’m good with it as a start button. ‘s’ for start

You forgot banana peels

Uh, remind me again what we are "starting" once we are seated in the vehicle? ;-)

Yeah-I know. Still want a start button . Though telling people is S for smoke and it pushes the diesel fumes out the rear would be fun to say and have people scratch their heads

That’s a great idea!

I'd like it to disappear altogether

Maybe I'm too Rivian centric, and I'm probably continuing a "robust discussion" that's already been had on here, but there's no reason for a start button. It's an EV. Get in and go. Even with the Harvester.

But if it's there, pop my frunk. I use the frunk out of my frunk.

I don't have an opinion on color, but I would prefer if it had the Scout "S" logo rather than the power icon.

And I'm a power user, so I want it to be user defined. Have an options menu in the interface that lets the user select from a set of functions.

Oh there has definitely been some robust discussion about it. But this is a great shout, make it a frunk button. Additionally, if the button is going to be there I want it to be orange or have a orange S in it. I'm going full out Scout orange as much as possible!

I think it should turn on an LED light in the compass or a small disco ball should drop from the ceiling

Disco ball!

IF the Terra gets to have the cabana, then I'd make it the "open air" button. Touch that button and the cabana opens, and all the windows roll completely down. Then off I go to the beach!

Edited to add; I'd love the Scout "S" on it as well, whether milled aluminum, wood to complement the dash, or some bright color. Any of those would look great.

Or Sand. Or Surf, or sunshine or or Seafood, or Sanctuary! I’ll stop now-got carried away

Seafood, definitely seafood. HAHA

I like the "S" orange button/soft horn for bike - or - maybe a doggie paw print on an orange button and it dispenses treats into an extendable trap that can fit thru crate bars, located in the cargo suite
