I'll start with two of mine.

I'm a Product Manager so user experience is pretty close to my heart. Here are two omissions from the Xbox experience that are inexplicable to me:

1. Put a mic and a "press-to-talk" button on the damn controllers! Xbox had search by voice but it was tied to the Kinect and somehow nobody at MS thought to preserve it? This will also finally allow users to use a feature that has been sitting useless and unusable in the Youtube Xbox app since 2011!
2. Once upon a time most media apps (HBO, Vudu, Hulu, Apple+, Disney+) respected Xbox's global control standards in their navigation - shoulder buttons to page through tabs, X to delete/backspace, menu/start button to submit an entry, etc. They have all gradually regressed their UI to where most of these functions can now only be navigated to with the cursor, which is an incredibly wasteful and inefficient UI. Please work with these devs to embrace the Xbox navigation standard so that we don't have to repeatedly nudge the cursor across a character selection interface just to reach actions as common and critical as "delete" and "enter", FFS. And if you need help, call me.

Inspired by two designs, one a concept (https://www.hyundai.news/eu/articles/press-releases/staria-camper-concept-at-the-cmt-2026-in-stuttgart.html) and the other available in Europe presently (https://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/en/new-vehicles/california.html), Rivian could reclaim the frunk space (since there is no engine to house) in order to present an aggressive cab-forward design that provides more than enough room for a 3rd row as well as the perfect blank canvas for camper-van/overland noodling. The R2V?

I am interested in the Telluride X-Pro but have yet to test drive one. For those that have the ICE powered variant what are your impressions? Is it sufficient power and torque to move that much car? In the video reviews I've watched it sounds like it really struggles when pressed, or at least makes a noisy show of it. Is it underpowered? I would really love the hybrid but I need the towing and payload of the X-pro.
