I'm fairly committed to the MYLR and look forward to my order arriving in coming weeks. But before I make a mistake it would help to know what the car doesn't have. As you know Tesla doesn't give us much of a "Features on our cars" list (ok, I lied they don't have anything), and my SA is both busy and useless. Worse, with a demo car over an hour away there is only so much I can do. This will be my wifes car, and to a large extent I'd like to improve her safety protection tools/safety bubble as she gets older.
Would you guys/gals share with me the safety & related features missing that most premium vehicles have today? Things I know (or think) now:
Would you share with my what it does have to improve safety? Things I know about:
FWIW, I don't see self-driving as useful today.
Thanks folks!

Would you guys/gals share with me the safety & related features missing that most premium vehicles have today? Things I know (or think) now:
- No 360 View.
- Poor Blind Spot Alerting vis a vis missing alerts in mirror (hoping 3rd party has solutions that at least integrate into speedo fix)
- ineffective Lane Keeping Assist (hoping that's a short term thing)
- Less than ideal speedometer location and no HUD (again thinking 3rd party products).
- A rep (degree/extend unclear) for sudden unwarranted emergency braking.
- Limited rear visibility via rear view mirror, and no electronic rear mirror option.
- No "Sleepy Driver Alert" (this could be added, I think, if Tesla wanted)
- No rear cross traffic alert.
Would you share with my what it does have to improve safety? Things I know about:
- Virtual representation of traffic on display (I don't value this as to see it you're taking your eyes away from road and or mirrors)
- EAB, what I think Tesla calls "Collision Avoidance Assist"
- Blind Spot Warning Chime
- Auto High Beams
FWIW, I don't see self-driving as useful today.
Thanks folks!
