I'd like the display to show the color of nearby Teslas. Are they aware of other Teslas? Is there any electromagnetic field they can transmit and sense the presence of another of their species?

Can Tesla's recognize each other?

Interesting idea, would also be funny to have a trip report that shows how many Black, White, Blue, etc Model 3 my car has spotted during the trip too
I'd just like if the display would show teslas. no color needed. lol
Even cooler if it can send a hi or something to each other nearby.
Volvo is working a similiar idea. I think it is interesting and potentially leads to car to car wireless charging.

Every time I pass one in my area we have both reacted w/ a smile or a motion or flicking lights to say hi and drive away w/ big grins knowing that the other person is just as happy w/ their car.
Interesting possibility.
Sandy Munro mentioned the large number of antennas appearing in the electronics. Tesla looks to be moving to RF to supplant hard wiring.

I hope someone from other Tesla won't sent me the following message:
Your black model 3 is too dirty, shame on you
Your curb rash on the rear right rim is ugly, fix it
Your swirl mark is too obvious, here is a place i recommend for you to do a paint correction/XPEL, use my discount code
Your SR+ is slow, look at me I have a dual motor
It could be fun, but all depends on the reaction you expect to elicit from other Tesla drivers.
Around here (NY/NJ), you can't pay enough money to get a wave or an acknowledgment from one Tesla driver to another.
BMW ///M drivers waive to each other, occasionally.
Classic car drivers wave and honk at each other.
Motorcycle drives greet each other.
Where I drive, other Tesla drivers seam to be dedicated to ignoring each other.
The other question is the type of communication you would likely receive from fellow Tesla drivers.
If this forum is at all representative of Tesla drivers, then my top-5 would be:
- You are reckless driver for having passed me, regardless of the speed I was driving. I have the picture of you and your car, and it's being sent to the police now.
- How dare you flash your lights at me. It is my right to camp out in the left-most lane doing the speed limit, and if you were going faster than me, than you are racing (see #1 for the rest).
- I saw you take that turn too fast. I was sure you were going to crash and kill someone, since I would never carry that much speed through any turn. I took pictures (see #1 for the rest).
- Why are you waiving at me from your lowly Model 3. Don't you see that I'm driving Model S / X ? You and your ilk are undermining the value of my status symbol.
- This one is for NuYokas: "You made eye contact with me, therefore I have the right to cut you off, and you've conceded the right-of- way to me. Kapish? "
Or, your vin is so low I can see your panel gaps from here.
I wouldn’t want to see other Tesla’s on a map (as it would obviously include mine as well and just don’t like that idea) but I would be curious about a number count of Teslas driving around in my city for example at any particular time. Definitely have seen more over the months and have wondered.

I would want to take advantage of the Tesla computing meaning that those driving Tesla’s can leverage each other’s telemetry to avoid accidents, help streamline aerodynamics (slipstream), gather additional traffic data etc. Think about this — if all cars were using Autopilot that could be safer and help reduce congestion.
This is a fascinating idea... make a ‘Driver Profile’ and your car could suggest which supercharger to visit, based on the ‘fit’ against the profiles of those charging there...
hope there’s a beach nearby for those long 45-minute walks

your vin is so low i can sense your flintstones HW2.5 from far away, look at me I got HW3!

I like them to communicate with each other to form a Tesla type Waze setup, but focussing on events/conditions that are more Tesla specific - traffic (AP optimized routes), weather, hazards (potholes, police). Would be helpful to know for when using AP is a no brainer and for when it is not.
