When using autopilot on country roads, we don't alway want to be at the exact center of the lane. We usually need to be a little more at the right of the lane to get more distance between the car and the other cars coming from the opposite direction.
It would be nice to get a push notification if you forgot to plug in at home.
It would be nice to have a bluetooth connection associated with a driver's profile (and key).
Is it the best idea to have a USB device with unencrypted video files of your travels? How tough would it be to code some form of password protection?
It would be really handy to have a screen with the recent trips and charges with the most relevant key facts i.e.:
Trips: distance, duration, power consumption, avg. consumption, start and end location
Charges: location, duration, added power, start SoC, end SoC
It would be nice to have an overview over all power consumers with the actual power consumption i.e. AC, seat heaters, battery system, infotainment, sentry mode, etc. to identify high power consumers. I think I've seen that in some japanese cars.
When fast scrolling the tacc speed scroll wheel it works in increments of 5. In km/h countries this should be adjustable to 10 increments which makes much more sense since the speed limits work in 10 increments as well.
Have the ability to schedule climate control to come on at a certain time or have climate control come on in X hours time.
When a sentry event occurs, the car would open live streaming to the mobile app and user would be able to watch in real time what is going on with the car.
In the UK the road network uses miles and speed in miles per hour which are mandatory. However, many people use metric measurements for short distances like centimetres and metres in their daily lives so don't use inches and yards as these are not mandatory to know.
Just in case it's not already in version 10, download YouTube and Netflix video to external storage when on Wi-Fi so that there's no need to use cellular data when parked to watch the video.
Find a way to gracefully change from Navigate on AutoPilot to Traffic-aware cruise control. Currently I have to cancel NoA and then enable TACC.
When changing lanes, increase the distance between yourself and the vehicle behind you. The auto-lane change works great, but the I end up too close to the vehicle behind me.
The current equalizer is pretty simplistic. Add some pre-configured equalizer modes such as Pop, Talk, Classical, etc.
Use the same route planner in smartphone app as in vehicle's display, and have option to push the results to the screen.
Setting to automatically close windows in x seconds if it starts raining -- include an option on the screen to cancel.
Mechanism via display to report incorrect speed. Video footage could be used to corroborate.
When in Navigate on Autopilot, automatically move into the slower lane if there are vehicles piling up behind the vehicle, or if there is even just one vehicle that is on your tail wants to pass you.
Exterior and vehicle noise changes depending on location, roadway, and speed. Since the Telsa has a built-in microphone, use that to automatically adjust the volume when conditions change.
In TACC and NoA, include a "distance enhancing mode" toggle that will enhance coverage by setting a max speed not above the posted maximum speed.
In navigation, rather than just negatively framed warnings about needing to be at a certain speed to reach the destination, provide "smart suggestions" regarding distance gained/charge retained if speed was reduced.
It would be ideal if the vehicle's audio system would automatically pause or lower the relative volume of media (Slackr, Bluetooth, radio, etc) when navigation instructions are given.
When re-entering vehicle, it would ideal if it would report (and log) how much phantom/vampire power drain there was, in terms of miles and miles over a time period (hours or days?)
It's pretty neat that app supports opening the garage door -- now we just need to be able to select which HomeLink connected garage door to open/close.
