Make the "GPS homelink auto-open/close" chime happen 15 seconds earlier when the "Skip" button pops up, not as it's actually sending the signal out. I want to know when I'm close enough to override it if I want, not once it's too late to stop.

On version 8.x there are favorites - hit Navigate, and under Home/Work there is a "Recent | Favorites" choice in gray.

Respectfully, that isn't the case with Build 2.48.35... I get the Home and Work tabs, and I get a list of Recent trips, but no "Favorites" choice. It may work with other builds, but not this one.
Waypoint mapping!
Cannot believe it's not included yet!
Also, bigger number squares on the telephone dial screen, although now that we have voice activated dialing, not as much a priority.
The ability to see if the SC I want to visit, has any spaces left. Nothing more frustrating than driving off the highway to charge only to find out that all the stalls are occupied or some not working!
This really wouldn't be that difficult of a problem.
The software could be written to ignore a second fob if it detected one recently, and still detects that first one, so the first fob it detects would be the one it sets the seating position / driver profile for. If you and your spouse are approaching the car together, you simply have the driver approach first, or, if you forget to do that, or that is not convenient, you simply set the driver profile as you normally would, when you enter the car. The "two approaching fobs, with the wrong fob approaching first" is an edge case that leaves the users no worse off than they are now, where the fobs are not tied to driver profiles. For all the times only one fob would be approaching, plus the times with two fobs, where the driver would simply approach first, connecting a fob to a driver profile would work.
I'm not sure why Tesla hasn't given us this yet. It really doesn't seem like it should be that difficult. It would simplify things for those of us who literally can't fit into the seating position our spouses use, so have to reach awkwardly into the car to select our own profile before sitting down if our spouse has driven the car last and left their profile set.
This is actually a good example of a situation where a little money thrown at software development could save Tesla some money down the road. There are many Tesla households using exit profiles, where both drivers are moving the driver's seat far back and far forward (and possibly also adjusting the steering wheel) every time anyone exits and enters the vehicle. How much wear and tear is that causing that may result, eventually, in warranty replacements of parts? Even those not using an exit profile are probably moving seats more because of this than they otherwise might. My wife sets my profile when she leaves the car unless she is 100% certain she will be driving the car next. If she does drive the car next, that was two moves of completely wasted effort, that the software connecting fobs to profiles would make unnecessary.
It really seems like a no-brainer that it should be cheaper for Tesla to enhance the software and provide this functionality that many people want anyway than to replace seat parts under warranty.
But does it... Firmware 8.0Many of us in this thread and other threads have been asking for Tesla to allow driver profiles to be tied to the key fobs. (Below is just one of my posts in this thread on that subject.) Well, Tesla listened! In version 8.2.50.114 of the firmware, Tesla gave us the ability to tie our fobs to driver profiles!
A photo of the release notes is below.
The functionality is implemented well. Great job, Tesla!
