Elon Musk on Twitter
Elon is asking what you want to be fixed. I posted that I would like the shutter fixed!

I don't do Twitter, but if I did I would be asking him to fix all the media player bugs. Spotify in the UK is very irritating, but brilliant when working.

It's a few interesting requests hidden in a sea of idiots thinking they're original asking for free cars or suggesting it should fly.
And a few idiots complaining about YT celebrities getting free cars for referrals. "Björn got a million dollars worth of cars!?" How many direct referrals does he have? How many indirect referrals? He's basically Tesla's advertising budget.
It'd be nice to have a more useful place than twitter to talk about such things. I'd like a few small bits (in no particular order):
1. Roll up/down windows from the remote?
2. "Stay in the right when not passing" mode.
3. I'd like front proximity sensors to be active when backing up (for no reason whatsover. :/ )

My teenage child is almost ready to start learning to drive. I want her to drive in the safest car made, namely the Model 3. My biggest hestency is putting her into a car with SO much acceleration. Way easier than all the other safety features Tesla has built and is building into their cars is to simply allow parents to lock in chill mode with a password. I bet that feature alone will save lives.
ie see this thread:
Model X hits tree at close to 100 MPH and flies 100 feet into a river - everyone survived

Bigger BOLDER font type on the touchscreen to help counter the occasional glare or just to make it easier to read faster so I can more quickly get my eyes back on the road.
That's what I'd tell him if I was a Twitter guy.

Same dilemma - while they are the safest cars on the road, I'm not sure I want it to be the first driving experience. Between the acceleration (which can be managed with the password locked speed restriction/chill mode) and the near 100% touch screen controls with no tactile feedback leading to taking the eyes off the road, I'm concerned the experience will end poorly for the car.

Also, a way to disable AutoPilot/NOA for a kid. An adult knows when AutoPilot is doing the wrong thing and can intervene in time. A kid just learning to drive doesn't.
From the responses in this thread, I'd ask Elon to hurry up with FSD so teenage kids don't need to learn to drive anymore.
That alone would make me feel so much safer.

Kids are more technically advanced than parents. I'm not sure you are correct. Data shows you are safer with AP.
Add a chime to navigation for upcoming turns instead of having to hear the voice directions.

It would be really nice if Tesla actually had an official avenue for us to offer suggestions or ask for changes on the app or their website. Something that we could upvote or similar so they could get an idea on what’s important. They have some of the most talented software engineers, both the app and the car could do so much more.

Tweet him and ask to read TMC to know how patient MX owners are despite the shoddy build quality.
Here is one such recent thread:

Nothing about technically advanced. It's about building instinctively reflexes so that when the car drifts/pulls towards the edge of the lane, that you can take control without thinking about it. That takes time to build.
Assuming Tesla fixes the current bugs and continues to progress on EAP/FSD, the areas where Tesla should consider for improvements:
- Better smart phone integration, such as screen mirroring, text-to-voice and voice-to-text for text messages/e-mails, and allowing use of 3rd party apps (from a smartphone). Since drivers are forced to use their smartphones for these features today, integrating them into the console should improve safety while driving.
- Better support for the supercharger and destination charger network - through the onboard console, smartphone app and website. Tesla should be able to provide real-time status of each of the chargers, provide advice on which specific chargers to use, and even predict near-future (next 30-60 minutes) charger usage based on the vehicles currently at and approaching the supercharger (under navigation). The software could also help encourage more effective use of the shared chargers. Since Tesla will likely be the only manufacturer with their own charging network - better integrated support for the charging network would be a significant advantage for owning a Tesla.
- Improve Tesla's software development and release process. Provide release notes PRIOR to installing a software update; and provide more information in those release notes indicating the major bugs and specific minor features added or changed in each release. Provide the ability for owners to request a software update be downloaded and installed in their vehicles - using the onboard software, smartphone app or the MyTesla website. Provide the ability to rollback to the last stable version of the previous major release; if there's a major flaw in a new update, owners would have the ability to go back to a previous version that worked better. And, make the beta testing open to all Tesla owners - having more customers provide early testing, prior to general release should help Tesla detect the obvious flaws and bugs that seem to get into the major releases (like the V9 media player bugs or the feedback about the new limitations on display layout).
