Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

Since the MS knows when we drive into a tunnel, and it knows how long the tunnel is (see the dash display) why not automatically switch to interior air circulation upon entering each tunnel and then as you exit the tunnel, automatically switch back to the previous setting such as 'outside air' I mean, who wants to breath exhaust fumes if given the choice
.?.

Great idea!

Was thinking it might be helpful to be able to view the status of the car/ startup 12v battery.

It was quite a shock when I test drove a Tesla. I was on an urban section of an Interstate highway where the speed limit was 55 and no one was near in front of me. I activated the TACC and it accelerate to 80 mph (which I should mention is not a legal anywhere in the state). The Tesla guy explained that 80 is where it was last set.

I think a much better approach would be to allow setting of a default value (or 55 even) rather than the last value used.

Push down seems to activate at current speed.

Simply put, more presets for the radio! Only 8? Are you kidding me? This is a computer based radio and should easily remember more presets.

Amen to that!

My Mercedes Benz E350 connects multiple Bluetooth devices. We should be able to use on for phone and other connection for music.

Fix the goddamn bugs in the media player which have been present since 2012. For instance, implement gapless playback.

I have so little respect for whoever's running Tesla's software team. This is not rocket science.

I'd like to see a GPS setting for auto-lock. It is annoying when my cars auto-lock in my garage when I put my keys away. Allow us to disable this via GPS location.

Agreed! Hate to have to grab my fob every time.

Ooo that's a thought.

Elon has stated the M3 interface will be "like a spaceship".

But of course he hasn't told us "which decade"

FINALLY! They've upgraded the Music Player

I would love it if there were an option to have speed automatically adjust to speed limits on all roads rather than the current single lane using autopilot

When exceeding the posted speed limit and the AP/TACC knows what the sign says, instead of merely enlarging the speed limit icon ever so slightly, why not turn yellow (or add a colored border) for +5mph over or red for +10mph over (ideally limits could be set). The ever so slight enlargement is barely noticeable unless I'm actually looking at the icon... which I should not be if driving...

 

[Jbailey]

A little tangential

How about selling a clear waterproof fob encloure case shaped like the tesla Fob with a ring to attach keys....I'll take two and a spare

Why not crowd source speed limits. Waze knows the posted speed limit without any fancy semi-accurate speed limit sign reading tech.

Speed limit databases are available from established sources and Tesla uses that as secondary to camera identification as I understand it.

It would be great if Tesla would use this database. BMW already uses it. In this way, the speed limit can be altered by authorities during road works etc. and the cars will follow suit - and also, pre-Autopilot cars can indicate the speed limit on the dashboard somewhere, even if they can't change the speed of the car. (although that could be made into a Driving option)

Not sure I understand. You quoted my post that says Tesla does use this database.
