The in-car Spotify app is currently too limited in UI functionality and streams at very low bitrate. My proposal:

- Increase Streaming Bitrate for Spotify Premium Subscribers
The current streaming quality is noticeably low bitrate. I already pay a Spotify subscription so that I can stream high quality (320kbps) audio. If I have to pay for Tesla Premium Connectivity on top of this, then I should not have to take a bitrate... more »

Add ability for user to turn off headlights on unlock, at least when at home. It shines them into my neighbors' windows every time I come close to the car with my key in my pocket. For cars with a key fob or Bluetooth proximity unlock, accidental unlocks due to proximity at home or elsewhere can be prevented by carrying the key in a foil bag or by deactivating passive entry. However, I like passive entry rather than clicking... more »

Whenever I start typing a street name in the Navigation, it suggests names, which is great.

My problem is, that Selecting such a suggestion means that the street name is selected and navigation starts - without giving me an option to put in the house number.

Result:

I can either type in the entire thing manually: VeryLongStreetNameThatMightEvenBeDifficultToSpell 1234

Or:

Accept navigation to a random spot on above... more »

On the main screen, next to the current battterylevel/range indication, show the indication of the expected batterylevel on arrival, the same level you see on the energy trip graphscreen. Can also be done with an arrow indicating if you are below or above the expected energy level on arrival. So it's easy to see if you drive economical during the trip.

Need ventilated seats back. Frankly ridiculous for a premium car not having a feature available on a $20k chevy. A deal breaker for my wife.

Right now, if you want to use your own solar panels directly, you have to convert DC to AC, plug-in the mobile charger, then convert it back to DC again for the battery.

 

Since solar generates electricity as Direct Current, it would be nice to use the on-board inverter or by-pass the conversion completely and just charge the car using direct current.

 

I think we would need a standardized protocol/pins for using DC.

The trunk is "heavy" - the mechanism has a lot of pressure, so it's hard to close the trunk. It feels like the new trunk mechanism's that are not supposed to be closed by hand...except that the model 3 doesn't have a button. so the experience is funky and difficult!

When using Smart Summon/Go To Target, if the path that Autopilot generates is wrong (e.g. going the wrong direction in roundabout) a user should be able to either explicitly define a new path, or otherwise guide Autopilot toward a better solution before summoning the vehicle.

Example voice commands: open windows 50%, vent windows, close windows, open xxxx window.

Example profiles: Beautiful day windows open

Mobile app enable vent windows while in drive.

Personal reason for this is I like all windows to be at the same height. Aesthetically this looks much nicer when driving down the road. I typically manually bump window control lever multiple times trying to get the height set correctly... more »

Each time when the car goes out of Park, when a passenger is detected activate split temperature controls, same settings like last time when the function was activated.

If the passenger is not detected use just one zone, remember the setting for one zone from last time when it was used.

Have a button on the screen when temperatures fall below e.g. 4 degrees C to set winter mode: reduce regen brake, chill mode on, and whatever other settings improve safe driving on ice and snow.

 

Edit:

-set wipers up higher (like service mode) so the wipers can be kept warm and don't freeze

This is a feature request for those who park their Teslas in front yard of their residential homes in suburbs.

There are expensive surveillance cameras with expensive monthly subscriptions that provide a well featured front yard monitoring system that can tell apart person from regular motion to avoid false alarms. Such systems push notifications to smartphones only when a person has been detected and are capable of... more »

It would be nice to restrict supercharging for people who are within a certain distance from home, and have enough charge to get home.

I have run into quite a few people who use Superchargers instead of charging at home. I understand that in some cases Supercharging may be necessary, such as for people who live in a condo type building and have no way to install a charger. Having said that, there are plenty of people... more »

When using Navigation System and search for a location, it shows me a list which also brings from other countries that I am not interested in. I suggest to have an option to identify if I want to search locally (within my country) or worldwide. This will reduce the confusion and reduce the list as well.

It would be fun and useful if the car would record the total miles driven by each profile.

 

This would:

- Settle the score on who drives it the most.

-- And who drives it the most conservatively or aggressively.

- Allow for personal vs business mileage tracking. Just add another profile for activation when driving for work vs pleasure.
