Add speed based volume control: drive faster, turn up the volume a bit, slow down, volume goes down a little bit.

When setting the cruise control, it always locks at "current speed or map indicated, whichever is faster".

There are many places in my area, where it either has inaccurate map date, or it's simple not safe to drive at the indicated speeds.

When activating the cruise control at lower speeds, this means the car starts accelerating, until I can reduce speed on the scroll wheel - every single time.

It would be nice to... more »

You should allow a setting of example; 5 miles an hour over detected speed limit. Instead of just max speed, make a max speed over speed limit control.

It is very common to have very low speed limits around pedestrian areas in the very center of European Cities, often 25 or 30 km/h. In these conditions, with parking cars, bicycles and pedestrians it is not convenient to use the Cruise Control to prevent going over the limit.

The driver can accelerate and brake manually but the car will not accelerate beyond the currently set limit. Like this, the driver can watch the... more »

Could you please create a setting that allows automatically disengagement of the cruise control after taking over the wheel when autosteer is enabled. I use autopilot a lot...even off the freeways and it works remarkably well. However, during my city driving, I obviously have to take over the wheel when making a turn. Usually, it's fine because the car in front of me will be making the same turn. However, sometimes when... more »

Currently in the Model 3, the Speed Limit icon on the screen changes to a slightly larger font when the vehicle exceeds the speed limit.

I would like to see that Speed Limit icon change from a white background into AMBER or ORANGE when the speed limit is exceeded. I would think that would not be difficult for Tesla to do.

One thing I really liked from my Volvo was the speed indicator showed three values in a very clever way.

- my actual speed

- my programmed speed

- and the speed of the vehicle in front of me

It was nice when approaching a slower vehicle to see just how much slower that vehicle is going. That info allows me to decide to switch lanes and pass or just ride along at that speed if it's only a little bit slower.

When speed limit changes and you want to reset the cruise to the new limit, the spot for tapping the speed limit icon is too small and difficult to quickly reach too. I find I have to repeatedly tap in the area until it recognises my efforts and frequently have my eyes off the road and focused on the screen instead.

When ACC is engaged on a specific speed (faster than the speed limit), but the car is driving slower for example because of a slower car in front of you and I engage AP, AP is engaged but the speed limit is changed to the current speed. This is really annoying because I then have to update the desired speed. I can imagine that using the current speed is taken when AP is engaged when driving manually, but if ACC is already... more »

How about having the speed upgrade, a free Beta test for 24 or 48 hours? I bought it and had a financial set back within hours, so I asked for a refund within the 48 hour window. That said... for the short time that I had it, I was blown away at the difference in acceleration!

When I get my temporary finance issue sorted out, I'm definitely buying it!

How many of us have almost rear ended someone because we have no idea how abruptly the person in front of us has applied the brakes. With the current binary brake indication system, (brake applied=light on; brake not applied=light off) other motorists have no relative way of judging stopping speed. Picture the visual readout of a Stereo Equalizer. As the levels increase, more bars light up. Apply this to a bank of main... more »

The speedometer ends up behind the top of the steering wheel for many users. The driver's screen looks great as is, but it would help to display current speed in a smaller image to the right of the road (on the opposite side from where the speed limit shows up).
