A couple points here and why I think my opinion even matters
- I'm a software engineer and have been working in the industry for almost 20 years at this point
- The software engineers porting games are very likely not the same or even the same type of software engineers that are working on actual advanced features like FSD or improving range, battery charge optimizations etc for example. These are VERY different skillsets
- I'd be willing to bet the games are probably part of Intern projects in a lot of cases
- When you talk about taking those "coding teams" and adding their horsepower to "X" that's not how software engineering works, adding more people to a software development project will almost always slow it down not speed it up
- Better wipers - not a software engineer more likely a traditional engineer or design engineer
- CarPlay/Android Auto - My understanding is this is more of a licensing/design issue than a software issue. It's super easy to impliment but the spec defined by Apple to license and use CarPlay requires that CarPlay in particular take over the whole screen which it can't on a Model 3 for example
- Text Message integration - Looks like that's coming in v10 so they were working on it
- Mobile app - There is likely a mobile app team more versed in iOS/Android development responsible for this
- Cross-Trafic alerts is likely a much bigger problem than someone who's just porting a game would be able to handle that's a really big design issue in figuring out how to do that within the current system's hardware
- Sentry mode maybe could be done by the same engineers but I don't really know exactly what improvements you're talking about there so that's just a guess
