I love my i7. Not perfect but really good and no other daily driver seems as good (for me).

These are primarily software-related design issues:

- When pressing a shortcut from the central screen (when you swipe down from the top), do not then have the shortcut menu disappear right away. Instead, allow a 2-3 second lag in case someone wants to select more than 1 shortcut at a time (which I often do). Tesla allows many shortcuts to remain fixed (and easily user-adjustable) on the bottom horizontal screen bar.

- on the app, make it much cleaner design on the home screen rather than a long scrolling mess of choices incl rarely used items that should not be on home screen at all.

- on the app, allow user to control temp, fan speed, seat heating and ventilation, and steering wheel heat.

- on the app, add a simple "pet mode" button on app and on car monitor for when pet remains in the car without driver and HVAC keeps pet comfortable.

- enable user to select default start-up drive Mode (e.g., Sport, Relax, etc.)

- make the bin in front of cupholders angled like Tesla. It is safer for phone and doesn't get blocked by bottles in the bins, or at least makes access/ use of bin much better.

- fewer screen clicks to find and start a podcast or playlist. Oddly inefficient interface as-is.

- taller door bins (height from protected bottom to top)

- wider or deeper trunk capacity. It's decent now but not stellar.

- have the controller physical circular knob be a bit taller, for better grip while still not being a hockey pick. Approx 5mm taller.

This car is amazing as-is, for sure.
