2023 Holiday Update Wishlist

[snorlax]

In anticipation of this year’s holiday update (if one is even confirmed ), what’s on your wishlist?

I’ll start, I’d love to see:
- Tesla Vision Improvements to Model X auto opening doors
- Separate Audio for rear display on refreshed X/S (I suspect that will come soon enough given the feature is now on the Model 3 Highland)
- Instrument Panel customization (energy, music) for refreshed X/S. I’d be happy just getting back the customization that was removed, but if we’re adding things…light mode for daytime similar to the main screen, view side repeater cameras (similar to the Hyundai feature)
- Performance Boost (let the Long Range get off the line a little faster, let me worry about the tires)
- Native Tesla iWatch App
- MyQ voice command for opening/closing garage
- Driver initiated lane change standard on autopilot. I can see auto lane change to pass slower cars being an EAP/FSD feature, but many legacy manufacturers (BMW, Mercedes) offer lane change already with their base driver assistance packages
- Waze-like object on road, speed trap warnings from the community

FSD that works?

Weather radar overlay on the map. My 10 year old Ford has this and it is very useful knowing if you are driving into severe weather without having to load a weather app on a phone while driving.

Add parking assist that works, auto wipers that work, summon that works, auto park that works...

That’s neat —didn’t know ford offered this.

A manual mode for cruise control, since 2023.32 really messed up ACC.

WPA3 security based Wifi networks support.

Tire pressure sensors that correctly figure out which pressure is reported by which corner.

I don't think these are too much to ask, but all are currently not working as of the time if this writing.

The things on my wish-list are:
-Don't put anything else I use regularly in a sub-menu (or disabled completely).
-Don't eff up the UI any more than it already is since V11.
-Don't disable the USS.
-Give everybody a dumb cruise control option, and don't you dare 'upgrade' me to AP/TACC as a "Christmas present". I love my 'dumb' cruise unicorn 3.
-Give me back a smaller left-hand UI panel with a far smaller car visualization and bigger map. Or better yet, let me totally hide the car visualization completely except when parking.
-Give me the option back to always show Supercharger icons on the map at any zoom level (not just when in the "charging" selection).

Yes! And a map that's aware of temporarily closed roads, too. For that matter, navigation that is up to date with road changes that show in the map and have been in place for months...

TACC that brakes a little earlier and easier, and accelerates harder, and doesn't flip out when traffic crosses way in front of you...

Make the car smarter about detecting whose phone key should be in control

Alternate routes in nav

Nav options for "least traffic" and "least battery use"

Display "charge to" value for supercharger stops

Desired SoC at destination

Get rid of the debounce on turn signals (if you press the stalk too fast it doesn't register)

Option to make autopilot use “normal’ driving while keeping the default as ‘sport’. The autopilot is too jerky in sport but want to keep it in sport mode for my own driving.

Crossing fingers they'll enable the driver's seat backscratcher.

Can you set precondition battery for supercharging from app? Had a few times when I was within 5 minutes of a supercharger and couldn’t precondition.

No. If you're navigating there the car does it on its own. There is no other way for you to manually cook the battery.

Apparently S3XY buttons let you precondition.

I stand corrected.

I should add that launching the car many times in succession also warms the battery. Also, if your state of charge is too low, the car won't use energy to precondition the battery.

I have very low expectations but would welcome :

- Birds Eye view (as Elon promised in 2019)
- AI powered voice commands (Grok? but probably much later in 2024-5....)
- App notifications on phone when Sentry mode is triggered
- CarPlay (...)
I second the idea of an Apple Watch app as well & CarKey integration to get a virtual Tesla Keycard in Wallet (for Watch & Power Reserve mode)


Realistically, though, what we'll get is two new fart sounds and a native X app to look at tweets when parked... great.....

 

[father_of_6]

I'm *REALLY* hoping for two new fart sounds and a native X app to look at tweets when parked. So... you hit the nail right on the head.

- Camera alerts on the sat nav

Are their base driver assistance packages free on all of their vehicles?
