Default Lexus Suggestion Box for the RZ? For software and/or future model years?

Is there a good way to let Lexus know what they should be doing, with the RZ, especially with the app and in car software/screens?

Maybe I will start listing my suggestions here as well.

Thanks,

Not that I’m aware of and unfortunately, the dealerships are woefully undereducated about this car.

Aside from a few software glitches, my only desire would be to see this car get an adequate battery. It’s a lovely vehicle and I truly love ours, but the range really is a joke. Yes, it’s only a problem if you road trip, but the smaller battery means more frequent charging even for those of us who don’t. And at this price point, it should be on par with other vehicles in it’s class.

My RZ was delivered to my home by an 18 year old "tech specialist." He knew far, far more about the RZ than the sales guy who was touted to be the dealership electrification expert.

I do not know how I would contact anyone in the Toyota organization with any role in future improvements. I have been an active BMW car club person for 40 years, and the same situation exists in the BMW world. If I were really trying, I think I would start with contacting the marketing hierarchy rather than design and development.

Well, let me start listing some things here for now.

Software:
  1. Allow permanent range mode w/HVAC on. When I tried it, it worked fine for me, but of course it turns it off on the next drive, going back to Normal and not even Eco mode, where I've had it.
  2. Allow more zooming out on the digital rear-view mirror. Rn, even at minimum zoom a car that's not even in the top down view looks like it's ON our bumper.
  3. Save the regen setting (defaults to 2, but I'd rather have more). Maybe this is possible, but I haven't found a way.
  4. Detail on charging sessions! kW, Volts, Amps, time, etc. I have seen a screen that shows for maybe 1 second when the car is off but it keeps saying a new key has been registered?

Hardware:
  1. Add a glove box. I doubt we will use the radiant leg heater here in SoCal any time soon.
  2. Add retractable roof shades
  3. Add a drive mode button - I think there's a way to do this on the HUD per a vid I saw, but I haven't figured it out yet.
  4. Make the driver instrument cluster screen a full width screen vs the 7" screen it has now with fixed indicators only on the sides.
  5. Improve the resolution and brightness of the driver screen.
  6. Add a frunk
  7. Move the charge port to the front right (or back left) - for Tesla charging once supported
