Tesla Ideas Modes

A new mode for Tesla's cars: follow another car. One possible use is when traveling together with a slower friend. Another one is when the other car is showing the way in the city.

It would be a helpful feature for the driver and/or the passenger to be able to turn off their side of the fan/blower.  I have had passengers that don't want constant air on them while I want the climate controls on.  Those same people will eventually drive and may or may not want the option to turn off the fan/blower for their side but leave the fan on for the other person in the front seat.

I was at a drive-in movie the other night, and even though I had shut off the headlights, and darkened the screen, whenever I opened the door, it would turn on some of the cabin lights.

So a drive-in movie mode that did the following things

Turn off all external and internal lights unless manually operated (The internal lights turned on every time someone opened a door)

Lower the screen brightness and blanked out the... more »

Car wash mode:

 

* Turn off sonar sounds

* Fold in side mirrors

* Recirculate air

* Deactivate auto windshield wipers

* Keep car in neutral (even if seat belt unbuckled or get up front seat)

* Play Outkast's "So Fresh and So Clean"

* Confirm windows are all the way up

* Disable charge port door opening (in case it gets opened by mistake while in the automatic car wash

Every day, on the way home, I pass through an area in which the autopilot does not work correctly, even having to correct it so as not to have an accident.

Once I get home, my vehicle never recognizes my parking space.

I would like to be able to activate a "learning" mode by voice command.

Once this mode is activated, for a preset time, the car will learn how to deal with a situation, and it will adapt it for the autopilot.... more »

Drive-in Mode would optimize for the best movie watching experience:

• all screens in dark mode (or off)
• rear shocks down, front shocks up for best viewing angle
• headlights off (of course)
• dome lights off
• climate control left on

This idea is to have a mode that super conserves power. For example, if you're in a situation where you don't think you'll make it to a charger, and you want to conserve as much power as possible. Some settings to enable in this mode:

• screen is dimmed
• chill mode enabled
• max regen braking
• climate control set to range mode

Any other ideas on how to improve efficiency while in this mode? Please comment below…

A full on teenager mode:

-keyfob tied to a specific profile

-profile is speed and acceleration limited

-radio muted when seatbelt off

-etc

The title explains it all. This mode is only available in park. Settings include:

 

-all windows cracked for maximum airflow but still some hotboxing.

-Cheech and Chong playlist starts playing OR Random episodes of cosmos play on the center screen (the older one with Carl Sagan of course).

Have the car auto automatically select "Garage Mode" when the car detects that you are in the garage. Just like Home link knows you're home. This mode leaves the car unlocked so that you can come back whenever to get something inside, load golf bags, even charge without having to get a key to get into your own car in your garage.

Switch from chill/standard/ludicirs modes using voice control

Don't need 20% (2 of the 10 icons) taken up with seat heaters that I will never use if I live in a hot climate.

Phase 1: Implement summer mode (manual toggle) and replace the 2 icons with more useful features such as phone or energy graph.

Phase 2: Implement auto detection when temperature exceeds x degrees then remove seat icons.

Phase 3: Let user re arrange and select from all icons like on an iPad dock.

Choose the number of chimes when warning about speed limit

Apparently the seats do not have seat position sensors and use the seat motor run time to adjust seat positions. I had to turn off easy entry because it was so out of alignment.

 

My suggested fix is a recalibrate feature in which you would be instructed to move the seat , the tilt and the seat back to the most forward position before pressing the calibrate button.

I recline my seat often to the full recline position... more »

When you're indulging in that uniquely (let's face it) American pastime 🍔 of eating in your car, it would be great if your Tesla knew that you were in a drive-thru. Most importantly, when in this mode, the car chimes would just chill out and stop bugging me while I'm flustered trying to interrogate everyone in the car for their order.
