Tesla Ideas Touchscreen

I noticed that the avatar screen provides quite a good rear view if you manually rotate the screen (see pic). Unfortunately the view is not fixed and returns after a few seconds to the regular forward view. For better situational awareness it would be great to allow the driver to hold the rear view in place without keeping your finger on the screen. Should be an easy option to implement and improve overall safety.

When traveling longer distances or when your battery is lower it would be nice to enter all of the destinations you need to stop so the navigation can tell you if/where you need to charge during this trip. The function of this would act just like google maps, you could enter all your destination points in the order you need to stop at them, with the added function of routing you to chargers if needed, just like the current... more »

Most of the status and warning text is too small to read for people who need to wear glasses for driving. An option for larger text onscreen, particularly the driving information in the top panel (aside from speed) and any of the warning and notifications that appear.

There are people that like Coke vs Pepsi. Some wash their legs when they shower and some don't. Is the shoe pink or gray? Some controversies are never resolved.

 

But, can we all agree to display battery % remaining AND miles remaining at the same time? Then we would all be happy.

Answer incoming call by steering wheel button at model 3/Y. Same for quit.

Support Spotify in North America (and everywhere else?)

It would be highly desirable to be able to view the Web or play games in full screen as long as the car is stopped in Parking mode.

Integrate Waze maps into the navigation system. Being able to crowd source events while driving.

A lot of people customize their Teslas (get it wrapped) so it'd be fun if they could customize the color of their car icon on the screen so it'd look like their real car on the screen while they are driving

For example, I bought a white Tesla but then got my car wrapped and now it's blue. 

But it still shows white on the screen 

 

Also, I think people would love to customize their cars icons in general (make the color... more »

It would be great to support Netflix on the touchscreen while the car is parked or charging. This would make supercharging much more enjoyable.

Allow Tesla owner to select text size. It is extremely difficult for older users to read The owner manual or read quick messages while driving.

In addition to the clock widget on the dashboard screen, how about a simple weather widget? Also, additional weather information in the route planning and on the map would be helpful. For example, the route planner could display what temperature it will be at the destination location (based on the time of arrival of course).

-Don't constantly show the nominal range (e.g., the current UI) — it causes worry & isn't accurate
-Periodically fade-in / fade-out projected range, calculated using the average of the 5- and 15-mile avg power consumptions
-Determine if need to show range every 3 minutes, based on whether a significant change in consumption has occurred (or if it's been >10 minutes since last shown)
-If projected range needs to be shown... more »

It would be nice if I could click on the "posted speed limit" display on my Model 3, when the ACTUAL posted speed is not what the car thinks. You could pass this thru to whatever service you get speed limits from and they could use voting-metrics to verify it needs review.

Touch screen should display as a one liner the name of the next cross street that will be encountered. This is very useful when driving through an unfamiliar town. My previous Mazda 3 has this feature which I miss sorely on my Model 3.
