Tesla Ideas Ideas

The idea would be a suite of features to management sentry mode files. Features such as:

 

-ability to reformat the USB drive and create TeslaCam folder

-display stored clips for easy viewing/saving/deleting

-option to push clips to your phone for sharing

Smartwatches are increasingly becoming more common. Its an obvious next step to allow someone to unlock their Tesla with their smartwatch. Other possible uses include: open/close trunk, start charging, etc.

When there is a line for supercharging, allow your car to be added to a virtual queue. Features:

-remove your car from the queue if you leave a geofenced area
-your Tesla won't charge until it's your turn (can't jump the queue).
-tells you which stall to use for optimal performance
-holds your place in line If you are on a planned route
-notifies you when your car is almost ready so you can go do other things while... more »

When a Tesla is unlocked and you're in the middle of a call, it's pretty eager to switch the audio from the phone over to the car. This can be frustrating when you're in the middle of a call and you are not even inside the car yet. Or when you're near the car and someone else gets in the car a similar thing happens.

Suggestion: use the seat occupancy sensor to check if the driver is in their seat. Once the seat is occupied,... more »

Sometimes when there are two mobile phones in the car, the car will connect to the passenger's phone instead of the driver's phone. It would make more sense if the car knew which mobile phone was connected to which driver profile and then automatically switch to the active profile when you get in the car.

Edit: Just to clarify some confusion here, this idea is referring to the Bluetooth connection of the phone (not the... more »

When home, and battery is under x percent (user sets this variable) and not plugged in to charger, user gets a reminder notification from app to plug in.

Can't say how many times I have to remind my wife... :)

Sometimes we forget phone in charger walk away from the car. Anybody could enter and drive away with the car and phone. Would be nice to be notified when we leave the phone inside and walk away from the car.

A great enhancement to sentry mode would to enable the car to push notifications to your phone when motion is detected similar to a ring doorbell. When you click the notification it then streams the video feed to your phone. Along with the new speaker in front, you can also talk to the possible suspect from your phone.

v10 introduced scheduled departure charging and preconditioning however, it only creates exceptions for weekends. With this setting enabled, the vehicle will still preconditioning the cabin even on holidays or on days when someone may stay home which is wasteful. It would be nice to override the schedule and have some more control over charging from within the mobile app.

If you forget to close a window and leave the car, use the 'Deep Rain' to close it if it rains or snows, or get a warning on the Tesla app so we can close it from the app?

The Tesla mobile app should have 2FA (two factor authentication). It's entirely feasible to steal a Tesla by compromising an owner's account.

Background: sometimes you want to type in a password (or paste from a password manager) on the web browser. It's a pain to type a long complicated password on the touchscreen

 

Idea: similar to AppleTV, allow the mobile app to pop-up an input box whenever the touch screen is seeking input. Then you could easily type from your phone keyboard.

Often we walk away from the car and forget to roll up the window or the trunk might not be closed all the way. If would be great if the could be alerts sent to your phone if:

• left keys in the car and its unlocked
• trunk or frunk not closed
• windows not closed

When Sentry triggers, the mobile app could alert the user and the user could choose to instantly see a stream of live video from the camera which triggered Sentry.

If we are to pay for premium connectivity, can we get live video footage on smartphone app when sentry is triggered ?
