But we all know on-line polls can be deceptive since they only sample like minded individuals, at least when it comes to using this Tesla forum. To be clear, I'm not saying we all think alike, except to the extent that we all have thought very much alike when it comes to coming here, registering, and participating in the poll you have referenced. Looking at it from that angle, the poll participants are a very tiny minority when it comes to Tesla owners and they are also, perhaps, the type of people that like to be able to control things, including the ability to set a departure time, whereas the vast majority of Tesla owners perhaps couldn't care less about it.
A true poll on this issue would be a random sample of Tesla owners, just large enough to give a reasonable margin of error. Maybe it would still be the 5th most requested feature, but maybe not. One thing is for certain though, citing an on-line poll as something that applies to the vast majority of Tesla owners is not proving your point.
