Setting to automatically close windows in x seconds if it starts raining -- include an option on the screen to cancel.

Tesla can leverage the cameras -- pleas auto-fold the mirrors when parked in any garage or parking garage.

I'd like to see a car wash mode that:

When charging at a destination charger (such as a hotel) it would be ideal if there was an option for the charge port to automatically unlock once the vehicles reaches its target state of charge (SOC).  This would allow others to use the charging cable without requiring the vehicle owner to (remo

The side mirrors currently unfold when you unlock the car, which means opening the door beside an obstacle a bit more difficult than if they stayed folded until you're in the car and ready to go.

FYI (don’t have a Telsa but think this would be useful) 

After the car wash is completed, if the car can roll out using the full 60 sec to roll out smoothly through the dry cycle from the front to the back, optimally using the full dry time. 😎

Model 3's driver's side wiper arm is plenty capable, but tends to heave water at unintended targets—it should know enough to slow down (or limit its arc) when a.) the driver's door is open, and b.) when the camera detects a pedestrian within dousing range! :-D

Set in the app. to open the trunk when key fob is next detected.  As you approach the vehicle with hands full, the trunk opens automatically. Much like self presenting front door, but summoned by the app. to do so on next key fob detection.

Ideas for identifying and resolving issues with specific superchargers: 

Turning the wipers on with the window open will push all the water into the car. Most luxury cars (like BMW) have a slight groove in the upper window trim to catch any liquid that might be on the roof or windshield. The Model 3 window trim is nearly flush with the body panels.

As soon as you engage it, the appropriate side should start blinking when the vehicle is autoparking. Seems simple enough?

the wiper blade isn’t wiping perfectly clean at all, I realised that this is an issue for all model s 

This can be done by alll manufacturer 15 years ago. I am sure Tesla can do it. 

Car thieves in Southern California discovered that the rear window quarter panel on a Tesla 3 is not alarmed. They smash it in order to lower the rear seat and see if there are valuables in the trunk. 

When my car is locked in my own garage, I just want to open the charge port door to plug in my non-tesla charger cable. As it stands, I have to fully unlock the car, get in the seat and look for the GUI setting to open the charge port door.

As soon as I get in my car, the TPMS is blank and can sometimes take a while to show the air pressure in the tires. sometimes I just want to check the car really quick to see what the tire pressure is before I go on a trip.

In other words, a colossal battery saver. . . .

Puts car in neutral;  Turns off automatic wipers;  Deactivates "Hold" feature on brakes;  Turns off all of the sensors/notification chimes of objects close to the car;  Folds in side view mirrors.  All in one button.

Most, if not all modern pickups with backup cameras mount it on the tailgate, typically near the handle or brand logo. When the tailgate is down all you see is your license plate and the ground directly under the tailgate.

The main components that need to be replaced periodically on a Tesla are the tires and windshield wipers.  By integrating an air compressor into the vehicle it can be tied together to allow the tires to auto inflate them if they need it.

European spec Teslas have amber turn signals in the rear but they don't seem to be big enough to meet US spec (except for the Model X, I think). Instead US models share the same red lights for both the brake and turn signal.

Add 120v plugs to the front console, rear console, and bed of the truck. Can be used for tools, tire pumps, laptops, or anything else. 

The frunk seems to be underutilized to me. On the future pickup, I see it as an opportunity to step up the game. Add connections for the truck to be able to boast another car. Add storage spots for tow cables and cargo straps, a fire extinguisher, a first aid box.

What I love about my F150 is the towing options. Trailer backup wheel, trailer brakes and it can pull a full fifth wheel trailer. For the Tesla Pickup, it should be able to match this. Plus, I think Tesla should go a step further, build the truck to connect to a backup camera on the trailer. 

For the winter package for people in northern climates, I would like to see some features which are available with other brands. Such as Heated Side Mirrors, Heated Steering Wheel, Heated Washer Fluid Nozzles, and the ability to turn on the vehicles heaters from the remote or app.
