The car should protect its owner also while he’s sleeping inside the car.

Tesla can install a sensor on each tire hub body and reported to the app inside the car the tire thread. And similar to tire pressure, if the thread depth is lower than an user adjustable level, car will pop up a warning on the instrument console (or driver view in the central console).

Tesla only has a front view camera on window shield area, nothing in the low front area like bumper or license plate area to assist parking into a tight slot. We need to see the curb to avoid hitting them. And make the camera view as part of camera app.

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.

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.

Use cameras to detect an approaching cyclist/car and prevent door opening.  an indication could signal on the screen.

Screen can be used to override if driver/passenger is sure there is no issue

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.

Would be great with an option to also heat the side mirrors when using preheat function or scheduled departure. This option could enable the mirrors the start heating just 5 minutes before departure when using scheduled departure.

There needs to be an easy way to submit new feature requests (hardware and software) directly to Tesla through the mobile app. Maybe each user can submit up to 2 submissions per month to keep it controlled, etc. 

Our garage has quite a low ceiling, so we had to reduce the max opening height of the power liftgate of our Model Y.

A little hard to describe in a title. But basically, if you do half stalk, you get 3 clicks, right? And then full stalk is continuous clicking.

Auto present door handles when unlocked and stopped on M3/MY

They just look awesome! see the video:

There are multiple external modules that can be added so that if someone is in danger can unplug from inside the car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-HXnI5AmWc. It would be nice if that was implemented as a built-in.

I’d like a blind spot indicator in the side mirrors.  The side mirror glass is easy to replace.  I don’t care about the side mirror auto dim feature.  I wonder if the wiring for the auto-dimming feature could be used to light a blind spot warning LED embedded in a blind spot rep

It'd be nice to have a symbol show up on side mirrors for a blind spot warning. Our 2.5 year old Chevy Bolt had this and it seems like most newer cars on the road have it as well.

Size and shape of model 3 is perfect for me. It's just the fixed rear shelf that handicaps.
I don't need the over all bigger body of the model Y, paid with less range, more consumption, higher price, just to make the trunk more useful.

One touch button on mobile app to precondition vehicle. This would include the following, based on what the vehicle determined needs to be done:

Allow the vehicle to intelligently respond to weather events. Some examples:

This weekend I lost the second aero just by driving topspeed for a while on a poorly attended german autobahn. That's dangerous!! I can only hope it didn't decapitate a motorcyclist.

switching off high beam totally on oncoming traffic makes the pure-vision steering blind for a while.

Please cooperate with Nespresso so that your car will have quality coffee capsules!  George Clooney drives a Tesla with a cup of coffee, what else?! 

ok, most cars have a foot-kick-sensor to open the trunk handsfree. The most Tesla-like way would still be an outside voice command. But if not, a substitute would be to place/model the trunk opening button so you can activate it e.g. with elbow or knee.

Ability to turn on Left (L) or Right (R) main or fog lights for emergency means in Lights Control

"open charging flap!", "lower windows and start venting!", "open door!",  "open frunk!", "finish charging!", ...      Yes, there are other ways to do so, but it's free as soon as you have an outside microphone (maybe at the B-pillar) and a way to avoid misuse (phone must be close and outside).
