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.

This feature causes problems for people with reduced vision at dark. Especially while parking. Please add option to disable the auto dimming of mirrors at dark

I mean a quick access button for activating / deactivating the low beam, the front and rear fog lights, e.g. next to the windshield wiper symbol in the lower left corner of the touch screen.

Given that the Cybertruck is likely going to be unique among trucks as far as its dimensions and accessory fit, it would be great to have an optional Cybertruck-specific accessory available in the form of a space frame or rack over the vault that would provide a crossbar over the body apex and an

Would be useful to have standard tow features (trailer brake controller), but with improved integration into the data display, perhaps with a load cell built into the hitch that would be able to determine tongue load, or if the trailer begins to wobble (cyclic lateral loading).

Was thinking that it would be useful to take advantage of existing block heater power infrastructure in cold climate regions, both for charging the vehicle, and for keeping the batteries sufficiently warm to have full power availability at restart.

Currently, there is only an option to tilt the mirror when in reverse or not tilt them.  Having the mirror on the road side (usually left) tilted down not allow the driver to watch for approaching cars using the mirror.  

This feature will automatically open the charge port when putting the car in park after arriving at home, or work.

Teslas should offer improved rear blinkers / turn indicators with animated yellow lighting moving to the intended direction. A lot of competing cars offer this cool looking feature.

As the title states, when the driver opens the door after Smart Summon, the mirrors should automatically unfold so the car can be driven immediately. Having to fiddle with settings while blocking the lane in front of a store isn’t fun for anyone.

“Freezing rain mode” where the tesla heats cabin to about 5°C a few times throughout the night to keep freezing rain/snow from accumulating on car and windows and especially on door handles

The location based mirror folding preference seems to fold the mirrors as soon as you arrive at a location even while you're still reversing into the parking spot and still need to use them. Do not autofold mirrors until the vehicle has been put into park for at least 3-5 seconds.

It would be nice to be able to unplug the car from its charger without having to open a door first. I have a private garage, and I always have to open a door to get the charge cable to unlock and pull it out of the charging port.

In Europe, a rear fog light is mandatory.  It is considered a vital safety feature & this was figured out dozens of years ago.

They are correct & NA needs to catch up at long last. 

When the fob or phone key is detected, allow a leg swipe or another leg gesture behind the rear camera to automatically release the trunk or liftgate or bed cover. This can be done using image recognition with the rear view camera and does not require additional sensors.

It would be great if the front lights remained on for a few seconds after I close the boot. Every morning I struggle to find the door handle in the garage because it is so dark. But the lights come on when I open the boot to put my bag in.

When you drive home and your roof is open (if available) it would be nice that the roof closes automatically.

Even better if all windows close (autom.) when parked and doors are locked (via Key).

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. 

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.
