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.

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

I know that transparent solar panels are in development. Putting some of them into the big glass roof would have three big benefits.

offer a 15’ extension cable to allow nose in SuperCharging.  When towing it can be a real pain to unhook a trailer so you can back in to charge.  Double the pain as one’s range is effectively cut in half when towing.

Should be easy to setup since there is a camera at the front to see if there is a care approaching 

On many Public 3rd Party Chargers it would be more convenient to have an additional charge port on the Co-Driver side of the car.
Especially 
 

Add a 2nd charge port on the other side!
 

The fix is simple, add or relocate USB ports to the glove box, front trunk, or some other secured location that can not be accessed without access to the vehicle controls.

Parents will love having screens in the backseat for the kids on road trips. As an option, headrests can have a screen in the back for backseat viewing. An headphone jack and speakers for the choice of listening.

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.

There are times when I want turn off Autosteer but leave cruise control engaged, and not turn the steering wheel. Maybe pushing forward on the to turn that part of Autopilot off would be great.

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.

Need option / upgrade for extra, simple driver display 

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

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. 

It would be nice if we had optional far-UVC interior lights. Far UVC light, which has a wavelength in the range of 205 to 230 nm, cannot damage human cells. But these wavelengths can kill viruses and bacteria, in the air or on surfaces.

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.

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. 

I took my Model 3 to a local auto shop, and this (see picture) is what they had to do with the key card. It would be better if the key card had a small, elegant, capsule-shaped hole punched out of it near the center of one of the shorter edges, similar to some luggage tags.

Tesla app should give full report on windows or door status. 

It happened a few times that we came back to the car and found out that windows were not completely closed. 

Additional: feature on app to close windows with audiable alert for safety reason

I would like to request being able to register my Apple Watch as a Car Key for the Tesla.

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

I'm 6'4 with the seat all the way back. It would be cool if there was adjustable display mount that allowed you to move the display closer to the driver. Having the option to angle the screen more towards the driver would be good as well. I really have to stretch to reach the screen.

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

Teslas are really quiet but road noise is kind of loud. Especially on the highway. Using its awesome speakers, and microphones, if Teslas could produce a sound wave inside, that is opposite to the road noise, It would make the cabin much quieter.

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.
