My Three Biggest Asks.

2. With Rivian making software for Audi, VW, Porsche, and Scout, each of those will have a clear, differentiating style between their gauges, and infotainment. Would it be possible for Rivian to consider making skins for each drive mode that gives the displays a bit of flair. Rivian's own vehicles should be the flagship, gold standard for what the experience can be.

To my knowledge, the software work that Rivian is doing thru the joint venture is JUST behind-the-scenes control software - the stuff that actually controls how everything in the vehicle communicates and operates. Anything user/driver facing is still up to the individual brand/manufacturer.

Granted, that might be old info, but it's what RJ and others seem to bring up the most.

My music played from the USB port via SSD. Why are we supposed to accept music that cuts in and out when streamed via the car or from our phones the phone.

+1 for a handle for the tailgate. I ordered the top part PPF one day after taking delivery of my truck:

Alas, because capitalism.

I'm not trying to get political - it's just the honest truth. Why have someone pay for music once when they can pay for every time they listen to it.... and also charge for the way that the music is transmitted!?

(FYI, I'm a "own the music yourself" person too, I'm just okay with Bluetooth when I'm in my truck. Not like I'm trying to listen to the minutiae of the violas in Beethoven's 9th while I'm hauling my trailer down I-90. That's what my home stereo setup is for....)

2. Good tasting pasta (with proper mouthfeel) that doesn't add to my waistline.

Not to derail the thread, but...
Have you tried Banza?
I have celiac, so I've been dodging pasta since before it was cool, but Banza was a game changer for me. High protein, low glycemic, and I really do enjoy the taste (as evidenced by: I could eat it by itself, whereas 99% of the time before I was diagnosed and ate even the purportedly best pastas: I didn't like the *pasta,* I liked using the pasta as a vessel for the *sauce.* I would not have otherwise eaten the pasta cooked, but naked).

1. Worldwide respect for science and scientists.
2. Good tasting pasta (with proper mouthfeel) that doesn't add to my waistline.
3. A new "Mass Effect" game that even slightly measures up to the quality of the original three.

BONUS ASK!!!

4. A great doggo that is relatively calm & is happy without other dogs in the house that I can adopt.

Seriously though, the only real Rivian-related ask that I have is TACC while towing. Like, that is it. After that, I don't have any real complaints about my truck.

I want your #3.

They are developing "The Next Mass Effect" game, it's just if it can measure up (I'm replaying Andromeda and while it's not awful, it just doesn't measure up on so many ways...)

I never bothered playing it. All the bad press convinced me not to. Then again they said similar things about Cyberpunk 2077 and that's one of my favorite games.

The best way I can sum it up is "thoroughly mediocre".
