Press and hold left heated seat icon will turn on or off heated steering wheel depends on current status.
Toast message appears about which action taken after that.
Since it's cumbersome to open up the entire HVAC settings then tap on steering wheel tab to turn that on or off.
If I say e.g. "play Frank Sinatra", I get one song from Sinatra and then it continues with music of the same kind.
I'd rather like to hear Sinatra songs until I ask for something else (e.g. "play AC/DC" ;) )
In my Audi I could call an "extracted number" out of a text message from my office (e.g. "Hello, Mr XY +xx-xxx-xxxxxxx asks for an urgent call-back").
Better would be just to touch the phone number within the text message, as done on a smart phone.
Just the way a fitness tracker does. This brings all messengers as well as all kinds of reminders.
... for more security while driving into narrow intersection or out of parking spot/garage.
Please cooperate with Nespresso so that your car will have quality coffee capsules! George Clooney drives a Tesla with a cup of coffee, what else?!
In addition to existing autopilot activation method, it may be useful to have icons on the touchscreen, that can activate either adaptive cruise control or autopilot feature by tapping on the touchscreen.
In addition to the existing mode of gear selection, it may be useful to set the gear right on the touch screen by tapping the "P", "R", "N" or "D" icon
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.
I don't know how it works, but if the phone lies loosely in the Audi phone box under the arm rest, it has a far better reception than outside.
While there is a light coming towards you it's even more important to keep the rest of the road high beamed instead of dimming it. I can't understand why Americans aren't open for this progress. In Europe it's a must!
As the phone uses the multi-speaker-subwoofer sound system, everybody around your car can/must listen to your phone calls while parking or standing at the traffic lights. I'm sure the sound system could be tuned to keep the sound inside.
The only reason for the co-driver to use the display is for music selection during long trips, opening glovebox or seat heating.
When I'm driving alone, it would be convenient to be able to orient the display fully to me.
... with current speed, speed limit and next navigation advice.
Just to make sure, Tesla doesn't forget it when finalizing the Berlin prototypes. ;)
"open charging flap!", "lower windows and start venting!", "open door!", "open frunk!", "finish charging!", ... Yes, there are other ways to do so, but it's free as soon as you have an outside microphone (maybe at the B-pillar) and a way to avoid misuse (phone must be close and outside).
I'd like an even smarter and more reliable way to recognize the user's wish to open the trunk than the old fashioned foot kick gesture. Maybe a voice command when standing with a registered phone (and loaded with shopping bags) behind the car.
I'd really like to see more media App's like Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Music, and Disney Plus. Also possible an App's store for future App's to be added by developers in order to unlock extra capabilities, and allow you to add and remove Apps at will.
It’d help to have the blinker make a slightly different sound when there’s a car in the blind spot. This would give advanced warning compared to what is currently present (imminent crash warning), without being annoying.
For short trips, heating up the battery with 7000watt(dual motor) is not necessary when preheating cabin. Battery heater on/off switch would be nice.
Possibility to preheat the seat heating alone! via app to save power on cool days
1) Tesla map databases lag behind Google Maps - so I'd like to use Google maps using CarPlay
2) Bluetooth activation of Siri is slow and often doesn't work, and it works fine on any car with CarPlay
The latest GUI update (current version: 2020.48.30 040912887bad) has a theme for the battery/energy that is a less colorful (black/white). This is not as easy to see, whereas in the older version, the battery was green and could easily be noticed at a glance.
In the UI update (current version: 2020.48.30 040912887bad), the P, D, R, N (the drive gears) display are not as prominent. It would be nice to increase (or have a setting to modify) the text size so that it is more visible to the driver (especially for older eyes).
Introduced a few versions ago from the current version (2020.48.30 040912887bad), the new display looks sleek but the speedometer is not as prominent as previous versions. For older people, the text of the speedometer is a little too small.
In previous versions (currently using 2020.48.30 040912887bad), the software had a button when the user pressed the profiles to adjust mirrors (in the circled area in photo). Now, to adjust mirrors, one needs to press Quick Controls (the car icon in the bottom left), then press Mirrors.
