Where could one post and have the community update a generic sticky glossary page (or pages).
For example, I've owned a Model X for 4 years, and had no idea what a "MCU" was when people starting complaining about it (I had to go hunt it down).

The glossary would contain most common terms, even obvious ones to help newcomers.

e.g.:
Tesla specific:
MCU = Media Control Unit which ...
AP1 v AP2 v... =
FWD = falcon wing doors.
Frunk = that storage in the FRONT of the car

Charging:
Level 1 Charging = ....
Level 2 Charging = ....
Chademo = ...
J1772 = ...
Chargepoint = Most common US charging account to have other than Tesla if you get an electric cars. There are others ...

Batteries:

Structure:
A pillar = ?
B pillar = ?

Towing:
Tongue weight = vertical weight on hitch
Moment arm/bike weight = maximum torque (e.g. from a bike rack)
Towing weight = pull weight on hitch
