Feature requests tagged with "Exterior"

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.

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).   

I'd like an even smarter and more reliable way to recognize the user's wish to open the trunk than the old fashioned foot kick gesture. Maybe a voice command when standing with a registered phone (and loaded with shopping bags) behind the car.

Normally it is not necessary to use the brakes or only for the last few meters to a full stop. The problem is, the the brakes corrode, begin to squeak and the contact parttern gets worse. The only way to prevent  this, is to brake. Even it is not necessary - totally insane...

In winter the window mechanism may freeze such that the window bangs into the chrome/black trim when opening the door. This damages the trim and may even break the window.

Hello, 
Although I am very impressed with my Model 3 SR+, I wish this was made standard.
i) a windshield-washer jet to clear the backup camera and|or hide it in the logo (à la VW e-Golf).

Great idea read from 'Paladaxar' at electrek.co:

The opacity of the glass roof could be variable. Keeps automatically the sun out and saves AC power.

An audible warning when the speed limit changes.  There are many places with small towns that suddenly change the speed limit to 25 MPH, it would be nice if the car gave an audible warning when the speed limit changed.  Same when the speed limit increases as you leave town.  

As with custom bumpers, there are a number of accessories that overlanders like to add to roof racks. So creating a flexible system of roof and bed rack mount points for a truck should be a priority.

The unibody design is super cool, but any damage to the frame is damage to the body and vise versa. If you bottom out while off road on an uneven surface you risk permanent and unrepairable damage to the vehicle.

It would be a good idea to make heavy duty mount points on the frame order to allow for custom bumpers to be mounted securely. One of the first mods truck owners do is fit custom bumpers (front and rear) to suit their particular needs.
