Feature requests for Cybertruck
Brakes that don‘t need to be used
Normally it is not necessary to use the brakes or only for the last few meters to a full stop. The problem is, the the brakes corrode, begin to squeak and the contact parttern gets worse. The only way to prevent this, is to brake. Even it is not necessary - totally insane...
Game controller built into Tesla app
No need to connect a 3rd party game controller via USB, just use the Tesla app. (Assumes latency is good enough).
Dim the display brightness when driving through a dark tunnel.
When driving through a tunnel, the head lights turn on automatically because it gets dark. The transition from bright sunlight to dark tunnel should also reduce the brightness of the display or otherwise switch it to night mode.
Send DashCam video to police with 911 call.
Would like to see an enhanced police notification ability where users could quickly submit a real-time summary complaint of dangerous road conditions and/or drivers. The car would text a summary of the complaint to 911 dispatch that includes current GPS location and cell phone owner name & n
Face Recognition as car key
Would like to have the B-Pillar camera recognize my face and unlock the door.
Would like to have the inside rear-view mirror camera be able to recognize my face and allow me to drive the car.
Supercharger Auto Park for all
I’ve noticed a lot of people struggling to back their cars into stalls at the supercharger stations. What if the car did it for you. It could work something like this and would be available whether you had FSD or not.
Transparent solar panels for the glass roof
I know that transparent solar panels are in development. Putting some of them into the big glass roof would have three big benefits.
Detect driver presence by touch or camera for autopilot check
If the autopilot is enabled the driver has to move the steering wheel slightly to show that he is still present. This is super annoying and outdated. I think it is even dangerous to move the steering wheel because it might disable the autopilot and change driving directions i.e.
Get Out of Snow Mode
When stuck in snow, would be great to be able to activate « Auto Rocking Mode ». This mode would automatically rock the vehicle back and forth using the IMU, Cameras, etc... to get the best rocking motion possible and get out of snow easily. Especially for the RWD models.
Show Parking lines when pulling into a parking spot on the screen
Ever wonder if you are in the parking lines? Well we should be able to see it on the screen if we are in the middle or over the line. This is anytime we are in a parking lot and pulling forward or backwards into a spot.
Day Time Running Tail Lights
In Tesla’s today, the day time running lights turn on the headlights but not the tail lights, thus only providing additional visibility for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. By also turning on tail lights, Tesla’s would have improved visibility from behind during the day but more i
Rear-End Collision–Warning System (Brake Lights)
Similar to the forward collision warning for the driver, the rear-end collision warning system would be for the driver of the following vehicle that is approaching too rapidly. The enhancement request would enable Tesla vehicles to flash the brake lights or center high-mounted
Rear automatic braking
Detects a potential collision while a car is moving in reverse and automatically applies the brakes to avoid or lessen the severity of an impact. Some systems include pedestrian or other object detection.
Speed limit change notification
An audible warning when the speed limit changes. There are many places with small towns that suddenly change the speed limit to 25 MPH, it would be nice if the car gave an audible warning when the speed limit changed. Same when the speed limit increases as you leave town.
Tesla Sentry Mode export option to our phones
We have the option to save clips on honk. It should be great to be able to auto export few seconds before and after that honk to the phone already in the car. We already have a phone in the car with a Tesla App running and BT connected.
Automatically brake for an emergency - before hitting something when backing up and before collision
When driving without autopilot on, the car knows when you are about to hit something and should automatically apply the brakes to avoid hitting something in front or backing into something behind you. Infinity has this feature and will automatically stop before backing into the garage or pedest
iHeart radio app
Not all stations are on TuneIn. There are many that are not and several I listen to are only broadcast or on iHeart Radio. Now that I have the MCU Infotainment upgrade I have lost both my FM and Satellite radios and playing through my phone is cumbersome.
Allow for driver registration of which profile drove when where (to aid to distribute speed / park tickets with multiple drivers in family)
Request to allow to turn on a feature to have profile registration of who drove when where. All information should be available already. Motivation to request is that with multiple drivers in a family it can serve as help to distribute parking & traffic fines to the right driver.
Autopilot Speed Limit Relative Offset Threshold
While we may debate on the exact speed, most of us would agree that speed limits are vastly more important below a certain speed then above.
A Mechanism to Secure the MCU/Display
The display in the Cyber Truck should have a very secure mount or a way to tuck it safely into the dash so it isn't accidentally broken off while navigating rough terrain. When off roading, it is not uncommon for a passenger to be pitched around in their seat, even at low speed with their seat be
Roof Rack Mount Points
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.
Configurable In Dash Instrumentation Panel
It would be nice to have a hidden section of the dash that can be configured to house additional gages and switches and the wiring to control custom bumper/roof rack accessories. From the pictures of the Cyber Truck and other Teslas, there appears to be no switches or gages in the dash.
Frame Mount Points for Rock Sliders and Running Boards
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.
Mount Points for 3rd Party Bumpers
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.
