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.
Cruising in summer through a gorgeous landscape makes significantly more fun with open roof!
Model Y has plenty of headroom for this feature.
There have been several times when I have been waiting in my car for a curbside pickup and watching netflix. When my order is ready, I have to fumble for the pause button on the screen. The left click wheel currently does nothing while watching netflix and would be a much quicker option to paus
normally I am in chill mode, but for overtaking would appreciate to sometimes change to sports mode quickly.
I'm sure your designers can make some stylish ones, which appear out of the roof shell and disappear when not in use.
..with any of the official webbased tools/apps built in to the entertainment section and front-mirror camera, or by streaming the phone to the screen.
Add so you can open the glove compartment from the app so you can access it while watching Netflix..
In Switzerland (because there are a lot of mountains) there are a lot of tunnels. (really many)
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.
It can be frustrating that a phone call is transferred to the Tesla's handsfree system when you're for instance strapping in your children in the passenger seats. It would be great if the handsfree system would only connect to your phone if you're actually sitting down in the driver seat.
In many countries safety vests / reflective vests are mandatory.
right now i got 2 vests in the clove box and 3 in the seatpockets.
It would be great if every seat got a small pocket underneath for the safety vests like in the air planes.
Front passenger seat to have the same ability for entry mode as the drivers seat? Or have passenger seat settings? Or have the ability from the drivers seat to control the passenger seat positioning from the center display?
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.
I live in Norway, and we have a lot of tunnels. And when entering a tunnel, I would like air recirculation to turn on.
The camera-system should be able to detect driving into a tunnel, and turn on recirculation, and then turn it off again when leaving the tunnel.
“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
Due to direct screen controls, you can turn on front heated seats w/o turning on cabin heating. This is not possible for the rear seats. You have to turn on cabin heating, turn on the rear seats and then go back and turn off cabin heating. Rinse and repeat for any changes to rear heated seats.
As a driver it would be very helpful to be able to adjust the front passenger seat via the screen. Currently if this is needed (to help a front or rear passenger), the driver must either exit the vehicle or with the vehicle parked, lean over and manually adjust the seat ...
I find the lowest setting for the heated seats to be too hot. I would like to see a lower setting or variability of temperature.
The ability to create "Scenes" using the tesla app and activate them with voice command in the car. (Similar to Hue Scenes for Hue lights)
It would be so much easier if we can reorganize the bottom icons, or at least move the defrost buttons closer to the driver.
Similarly to the cabin temperatures, it would be a lot easier to slide left/right on the heated seat icon to adjust the intensity. The problem with tapping the icon is when driving, bumps always cause extra "taps" on the icon and it takes forever (relative driving time) to adjust the seats.
Add an option to tell the car the next time I plan to use it so that it can set a one time scheduled departure. I don't have a set schedule every day, so picking a time for scheduled departure for the entire week doesn't work for me. I would prefer if, upon arriving someplace, the car would ask
The heated steering wheel is now such a common feature among higher end vehicles, there's no reason why the model 3 shouldn't have one too! So useful in the winter, and also more energy efficient using that plus heated seats instead of cranking up the climate system.
With the growing rise of vehicle break-ins (especially in California), I present this idea as a feature. I wan the ability to illuminate the interior to show thieves I have nothing inside my car and hopefully they will move on.
