I have an older Model S and the door handles need to be replaced every few years due to wearing out. However, 90% of the time, it's just me getting in the car, so the other three door handles present needlessly.
Battery Longevity Mode
It might use a little more power but cost can be offset increasing the lifespan of the battery.
A button or toggle to enable list of settings that prioritize battery health.
TPMS is not required by law in Canada.
Add an option to disable it, since by law here, we are required to run 2 sets of tires (summer and winter). Having TPMS always on is very annoying.
After my first trip with the new software update I am very angry:
Basic informations about the trip are no longer available:
When activating the scheduled departure, the car preconditions the battery and cockpit every day at the specified time of day, until you deactivate the option.
When in Navigate on Autopilot, automatically move into the slower lane if there are vehicles piling up behind the vehicle, or if there is even just one vehicle that is on your tail wants to pass you.
Scenario:
Me and wife get into car. Both phones were set up previously for media/calls. Only one phone get's connected for media and calls. Let's say it was mine. Both phones are in phone holder and closed. Wife receives a call.
Problem:
Monitor and Graph the millivolt difference between cells and packs.
This could be an Early Warning of trouble with the HV battery pack .
The car could make recommendations for changes to driving style and charging that prioritize battery health.
Be nice if dash cam would record from all cameras.
Also be nice to clear footage from the car itself directly without having to look for a computer while on the road.
How about using the wheel button to scroll through manual wiper settings? This way a driver can keep his eyes on the road. Automatic wiping kicks in too late, and I find myself fiddling with the screen on moments where I want to keep my eyes on the road (heavy instant rain).
The wiper button is great for a single wipe. Keep that function, but add that pressing it multiple times toggles through the wiper settings (slow, medium, fast, auto). This would be so much easier and safer than having to do it on the touch screen.
Activating and using the Wipers requires too many touches and is a distraction to driving requiring the driver's eyes to be on the touch screen instead of the road ahead.
Please enable option to have always on lights and letting it turn of automatically. This should apply both to front and rear lights. By law in my country the front lights need to be turned on always.
This is a safety feature.
Show Battery Temperature
The numbers can be a color or have a colored background to indicate:
red (too hot or cold)
yellow (getting too hot or not too cold and could be warmer)
green (good temp for charging /supercharging/ best performance)
Implement Plex-App (plex.tv) for streaming from private / home Servers and several public TV-streams.
For those of us where bike lane splitting is legal, allow to set the AP to hug closer to left or right of the lane to make a larger clearing. This could be only for slow speeds in traffic.
I'd like a voice warning that I'm leaving the phone in the car charging. This is critical as my phone is my key and when I make this mistake I'm leaving the car exposed for anyone to take. My Audi Q 8 has this feature.
The majority of Spotify users use folders to categorize and structurise their favorite Playlists/Albums/Songs.This prevents the driver from having to scroll through 100+ playlists to find that one album that you want.
When a sentry event occurs, the car would open live streaming to the mobile app and user would be able to watch in real time what is going on with the car.
I would like to be able to use the farting feature out of Boom Box from the Tesla app. It would be cool to sit on a bench somewhere and when somebody walks by, fart at them remotely from the Tesla app.
Our garage has quite a low ceiling, so we had to reduce the max opening height of the power liftgate of our Model Y.
Display a braking indication on the touch screen when the rear braking light is on or off.
Almost every premium sedan on the market with a rear camera and ultrasonic sensors has this feature by now. The Model 3 has all the necessary hardware already installed. RCA can safe lifes and thousands of Dollars/Francs/Euros in cash. Thank you, Elon.
Detects a potential collision while a car is moving in reverse and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of an impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
I have a narrow garage that I use to back in to. Half way in I usually fold the mirrors to avoid hitting the garage port. On the Model S this was a physical button at the door handle but on the Model 3 I need to enter the main menu that will render over the reverse camera.
