every time, we reach this location, do ... activate sentry mode / ... show special camera view / ... open garage / ... switch off high beam / ... close external air ventilation / ... activate Joe mode / ... change radio channel / ... open charging flap / ... activate chill driving mode / ...
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.
Using the Autopilots automatic speed adjustment the actual adjustment of the speed appears way too late (50-100 meters or 5-10 seconds after the speed sign). Therefore an intervention from the driver is neccessary every time to adjust the speed manually.
Like many, I don't have WiFi available where the car is parked.
I think a good option would be to allow the Tesla phone app to download the update over WiFi (onto the phone's storage) and then transfer it to the car when it's convenient to do so (via USB or WiFi Hotspot?).
While driving on the freeway with Autopilot engaged, I now avoid changing lanes near trucks. Autopilot tends to get spooked, when it is in the middle of changing lanes near a semi truck (collectively traveling at about 65 mph).
It is state law (Oregon) to keep space cushions around all vehicles at all times. Granted, this is not technically possible to do 100% of the time; but it does lead us to try to maintain more optimally safe positioning around vehicles.
Autopilot needs to keep close to the left lane markers on freeways, especially when a right-side lane entrance comes up. At the end of the lane entrance merger, the lane markers disappear (on the right of the Tesla).
Add a family of functions for controlling the car's AC: like a home thermostat, specifically for whenever the car is in Park mode. This "parked car" thermostat functionality would keep the vehicle within a set of temperature limits.
Add a settings button that locks "Keep Climate On" in "on" mode, under all situations, unless the battery reaches 20%. Currently we have to remember to always toggle "Keep Climate On" whenever we park.
The current sun visors for the 2020 Model X are nice and versatile. However, they cannot cover the back 25% of the driver's side window. Also they only fold down a small amount leaving about half of the driver's side lower window exposed to the driver.
When the driver approaches the Model X, and the vehicle auto-unlocks with the fob nearing the vehicle, the last audio source auto-turns on (sometimes). It would be nice to have a toggle in the car's settings to always keep the vehicle's audio mute when passively auto-unlocking the car.
Would love to have a App Store in the console and or the mobile app to push apps to install to the car. Would open a whole new market for developers. Missing apps today Waze, a full version of Spotify, Evernote etc.
The car already supports video playback from Sentry, so enabling mp4 video playback from USB would be great. I have some kids shows that I can store on my USB disk for the kids to watch. This worked great in our Infinity with built in screens.
Enable the ability to view Sentry events from both the app and web, as well as the ability to delete remotely.
My kids is about to start practicing driving. And I great feature would be a mode in the car for that purpose. The car is more helping and supporting. Explaining. Little bit educational teacher supporting the newbie driver and the parent.
The same way on a tesla web and some other 3rd apps we can see or select the link for a supercharger and see the restaurants and amenities on an specific charger the tesla navigation system should have a (+) or drop down menu with that information.
The same way we can select to watch the rear camera while driving, at low speed we should be able to switch to a front view that can make easier to drive through tight spaces.
Additional features for premium connectivity
Interesting and useful if with the premium connectivity you can make with the Tesla network a Hot Spot (very useful in Europe because of the expensive roaming) and that also the LTE you can download the SW and Maps.... updates.
Currently the browser can not access any plugged in USB FIDO keys, or bluetooth keys.
Please allow it, i can not sign into my google account for youtube because of https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/
We all know how it feels to come out to your car when it's frozen outside, teslas allow you to start warming up and then come out later, after it's heated a bit, but what if it could just, stay above a set point at all times, like 5°C (not do anything if higher).
It is very annoying that every time the vehicle powers up, the audio panel is displayed. While my personal preference is to NOT show the panel on power-on, I also expect that there are many drivers out there who like this feature.
Can a setting be added to either:
Previously, there was a feature which would allow the browser window to shrink to half-size. Apparently, this was removed to accommodate the Model 3's landscape oriented screen. Please restore this feature, at least for the Model S's portrait oriented screen.
When the car is in locked mode, the open door button should be disable. If someone breaks the glass and sets off the alarm, the car should disable to open door button to prevent intruder to get in the car or at least make them much harder to get in.
With low temperature outside the car it is often so that cooling inside the car is good enough without using the air condition compressor. But activating the Auto mode always activates the compressor.
