Presently, the audio volume jumps to the last-remembered level pretty abruptly when switched on, and gets cut in a similar manner when switched off.

Would be nice to have the sound fade in/out softly.

I often drive alone and have the emotion, that I definitely would love to pickup others. 
But "others" would mean to me - nice people, who know to appreciate that. 

So in the first build - I think easiest would be to offer the service to other Tesla-Owners. 

It would be nice if it was possible to change the maximum amount of current the onboard charger is allowed to use from the API.

This is useful, because then your smart home could reduce the current when doing the laundry or using the electric stove for instance.

When opening a door, have the computer check that no one is close to the vehicle.   Many people are injured and killed because they are riding a bike or running near a parked vehicle when someone opens the door in front of them.   Bikes, in particular, are often required by law to ride close to p

It would be great to plan your route from the mobile app. As soon as you get in the car navigation will start.

Could also be very interesting for companies with Semi. Planning department can then send the route to the driver and keep the driver informed on route changes.

We like to listen to books. Love to have Storytel available. 

A visualization showing the car's understanding of traction on each wheel.  If a loss of traction is detected, this could pop up automatically in a corner and show which wheel(s) lost traction.  Perhaps display could show both current traction status and which wheels experienced loss of traction

Just as we can disable Sentry recording at Home and at Work, it would be great to be able to disable automatic locking at home.  For those of us with a garage, and happen to carry our key fob around, it gets annoying hearing your Tesla unlock, then lock (and honk) ...

In Quebec like elsewhere, we pay our Hydro Electricity based on outside temp. If temp < -12°c, electricity cost 6x. Can we get custom charging based on outside temp forecast? If weather expects temps to drop, charge now. If temp is to rise, charge when > -12°c when possible

99.9% of the time I want to enable autopilot with autosteer when doing the 2 downpresses of the control stalk on the steering wheel. I do not care for the cruise control function only after 1 downpress.

You've almost had it happen to you - you're backing up, looking at the rearview camera, then you touch the brakes and flip the gear selector to Drive. The camera goes away, but the car's still backing up. A second later, you hear the sound of the car hitting something.

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.

Have a setting similar to chill on less aggressive lane changes.

The default is too aggressive for me.

Engaging autopilot (ACC) at current speed instead of speed limit would be practical in many cases. Suggestions (any combination of these):

“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

Show charging status on dash display while Netflix is on for model s/x. Right now when watching entertainment the screen goes dark.  Or perhaps showing charging status on the lower portion of main screen as since it is vertical display Netflix never is full screen 

games where you may play with other Teslas at Supercharger station.  Send a game request by selecting stall number.  
I believe airlines have these types of games based on seat number.  

When changing from podcast to radio lower the volume to a default setting.  As the podcast requires a higher volume yet changing back to radio it’s really loud.  And useful for Resetting back to  when starting next trip.

Allow a half or one third screen size version of the energy graphs page, similar to how the music page has a half screen mode. 

It's nice sometimes to be able to monitor the energy usage while still being able to see the map.

Almost every premium sedan on the market with a rear camera and ultrasonic sensors has this feature by now. The Model 3 has all the necessary hardware already installed. RCA can safe lifes and thousands of Dollars/Francs/Euros in cash. Thank you, Elon.

While driving the car in 'manual' mode (w/o Autopilot) cars in my blind spot appear in the same color as all the others on the screen. I'd greatly appreciate it if their color would change to red if they 'coast' in my blind spot for more than - let's say two seconds.

I don't have any mobile phone coverage in my garage, therefore I can't use preheating/cooling when my car is charging.

It would be very nice to be able to start pre-heating/cooling based on a pre-set schedule using either the app or an in-car menu.

When charging not at home/work leave the charging status screen on and the charge port LED indicator lit-up even after the car is locked.

Enable a way to close and open windows remotely. 

"Wink mode"- the ability to turn off one of the daytime running lights temporarily in effect winking to other Tesla's?
