A Tesla owner should never be surprised when walking out to their car only to find a flat tire, because the car is capable of alerting them. Allow user to turn on reporting [to the mobile app via push notification] of tire pressure state when car is idle at user-selected intervals from 1 to 12 hours, on demand [via user tapping a button in the mobile app "Controls" section] with or without automatic reporting [via push... more »

Trucks have no efficient place for your tools, blueprints, computer, etc. when you're on the job site. They are filled with products that need to be cut, shaped, or designed to fit the designated need. Presently there is no solution for your truck to hold your tools and product while still working. You could bring an extra table but that takes up space in your truck bed. There is room for a table/work bench to be placed... more »

When pulling into my garage there are about 100 bells, warnings, lights, etc going off. Usually about sides and front, homelink, etc. My biggest fear is I would miss the BIG one (ie Falcon Door is still open).

 

It would be nice if we could tune down all tones unless < 2" crash and falcon doors open, trunk open, etc.

Let's have a way when autopilot/car goes wacky you could submit any/all data to the cloud. This would then get reviewed by Tesla Eng/AI and possible fix.

Examples:

1) On highway and the car thinks that the Tractor trailer (next to me) is coming into my lane (when it didn't even come off center) and auto pilot swerves away.

2) There's an intersection where auto pilot steers into the opposite turning lane (wrong way).... more »

Add button on charging screen to ring audible alarm when charging is complete. Needed to alert driver who may be taking a nap or engrossed watching a movie, etc. Add option for alarm volume for loud (nap mode) or low (no need to scare me), or increasing volume until cancel (best). This feature would avoid staying at charger too long, avoid idle fees, free up charging spot, etc. Note, I do not have the Tesla App available... more »

During this summer's vacation, i had to take a ferry numerous times with my Tesla 3. Once on the ferry, it is not allowed to stay in the car or on the car deck during the voyage. The first times, i experienced the alarm going off short time after departure, i suppose due to car being moved without driving and/or reacting to rocking due to waves. After some googling, i turned off the alarm, but this also means the whole... more »

When your car is stuck in mud or snow applying "rocking manoeuvre" could be very effective. You basically roll the car forwards until the tires slip, then roll back, then repeat (see video below to understand the idea). An electric car could take this technique to a whole new level. Switching between forward and backward can be done automatically in instant, so the car should be able to unstuck starting with very low... more »

When car is in garage I should be able to open the garage door from the app, when I summon the car while plugged in, it doesn't open garage door, because summon not available while plugged in

It would be great if Tesla supported Wifi enabled garage door openers. Especially since this is where the industry is headed.

When it's raining heavy the fastest speed on the wiper settings is not fast enough. If one more speed was added this would definitely make it safer while driving in the rain.

Be able to 'nudge' the car by giving 'hints' to autopilot so you can gently steer the car while in autopilot to help it to learn faster and guide it away from curbs when it gets too close without having to take over completely and disengage autopilot.

Background: The chimes that alert when you're about to hit something when backing up are wonderful. However, it sometimes becomes a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" situation when you're in your own driveway/garage. You know what you're doing, this is your driveway - you're the Mario Andretti of your own driveway. Those alerts are like Princess Leia giving Han a hard time b/c he's attacking a star destroyer. You got this.

Add car software ability to rapidly pulse screen brightness and always sound a tone before making Autosteer unavailable. On long, straight drives, drivers may be holding the wheel lightly, and drivers are watching the road, not the screen.

When hazards are active, it would be a interresting safety feature to have the hazards be disabled at least temporarily when signal light is engaged. Without that, other drivers cannot tell that the signal light is on as both are flashing.

Make OFF the default for Sentry Mode. When in dodgy areas, the driver can activate it after parking.

It was annoying when I got an alert that the battery level was 20% after several days in airport parking, because Sentry Mode used so much power. Just made it to a supercharger station!!!
