1. Tailgate handle or grip for raising the T's tailgate.

2. Software change to turn off left headlight when opening the chargeport door. The glare from the left headlight makes it difficult to align and plug in the charge cord (especially in the garage at night).

3. Sync with Calendar. My old M3 would automatically sync and display my Calendar from my iPhone on the main screen. If the address was listed on one of my calendar events, I could just "Tap 'n Go." Same with phone number. Also, Navigation would pre-load destinations from the Calendar automatically as the events would progress thru the day.

I PPFed my tailgate when I had a T and that seemed to help with raising it. Calendar would be nice though.

I’ll take:
1. A nav system that doesn't crash and leave my avatar sitting in one location and refusing to do nav guidance, requiring a full reboot. Every few days.
2. A seat position memory that works more than 75% of the time.
3. A tailgate that actually closes instead of me having to open and slam shut the lower portion to get it to work.

Having come from 16 years with a Ridgeline, I totally miss the two-way tailgate and ability to open the rear window. Those were features you never knew you needed until you had it.

You guys aren't aiming very high.
I want driver assist on all highways. Tesla has had it since 2015 and it is a game changer for those who drive a lot.
500 mile range.

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.

Oh, it would be great if the mirrors auto-folded when approaching home/garage. My last vehicle had that feature and it made parking in the garage a lot easier.

I don't think it's exactly what you want, but SuperPacific makes a tailgate pull to help close the tailgate from within the bed.

1. Fully sorted half shafts.

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.

3. Ability to download music, as well as offroad maps of a given area showing all the trails etc. Mapbox at least had greater fidelity when it came to back country trails etc. Google on that end has been a regression.
