    What would it be? Realistically.

    I'd love it if it could shed ~800 lbs.

    I’d love an actual sunroof that opened. Though wouldn’t exchange the glass roof for a traditional sunroof with mostly metal roof.

    Better noise insulation, maybe the 2021 model 3s have it better, but noise on highways are still quite loud.

    Redesign of the front end. It's so lacking in definition and to me the worst part of the car.

    A heads up display, along with either an app store, or, carplay and android auto integration.

    Its more likely for tesla to try to do its own app store, because of control, but that means less options, as markets really only want to support 2 major ecosystems in the mobile space.

    edit.. I guess I didnt play by the rules of this thread since I posted 2 things. I am going to go by the rules some people use when they get in the "12 items or less" lane at a grocery store, by lumping multiples in the same category together as 1. Since both are "infotainment" I am going to count them as 1 thing :p

    Sorry to be boring but:

    I want the original UI on the left back!
    I want to be able to control when my car decides to update it's firmware, both to get a newer version or tell it to stop altogether

    ok...

    Losing some weight wouldn't hurt it sure, how about the ability to take my beloved 2018 stealth and put in new 4680s for sustained higher speeds and longer range ;)

    Also CarPlay!

    I’d love it if they could put the magnetic shocks my 2012 corvette had. Firm when needed but then dial it for cush and it rides as good as my Lexus GS did!

    Have your service center replace your flaky turn signal stalk.

    I’d like a heated steering wheel and more sound deadening.
