Most requested features/options/improvements for the Model 3?

[KAnder04]

Are there any features, options, or improvements you wish the Model 3 had? Maybe things that are pretty common in most other ICE vehicles? Like air ventilated seats, blind-spot assistance, air suspension, sportier/more aggressive look for the Performance version, etc?

I’m probably going to purchase a Model 3 Performance in May, and was just curious if there are any features or options y’all really wish The Model 3 had.

What about any rumors or confirmed reports of the most frequently requested features/options/improvements coming to the cars being produced in 2020?

Thanks in advance! Ever since I started looking into buy a Tesla, and then test-drove one in Atlanta a couple weeks ago, I’ve been soaking up every bit of information I can find. So I welcome and appreciate any and all information you guys and gals take the time to post.

This must have been posted 100s of times on this forum
But here are some I with my Model 3 had:

• Automatic trunc
• Heated steering wheel
• Top camera
• HUD

blind-spot assistance

All Teslas have that. If you try to change lanes and another car is in the way you will get an alert and the car may even try to steer away from a potential impact.

Just like all the other threads.

1. Apple Carplay and Android Auto

Oh and the ability to watch sentry footage

Those are my top two as well, but the build in TeslaCam viewer would be 1 and Android Auto 2.

Improved wiper control.
Ability to watch sentry mode and TESLA cam on the computer screen, save to separate file and delete.

Well yes, you just have to try and kill someone for that to enable. We'd rather have a warning on the screen or a light on the mirror to let us know someone is there.

Rear cross traffic alert.

 

[Sparkler]

CarPlay
A windshield wiper stalk (although the latest update improved auto mode)
Adjustable head rests
1,000 mile battery ;-)
Non scraping wheels! (but still sexy low profile ones)

Auto headlights turn on below 25mph.
A touch more foot room for rear passengers.
Heated steering wheel.
I won’t ask for better wipers in mist, until I see 2019.40.

Cool. Thanks!

Ability to upgrade to stealth for LAWD

 

[run-the-joules]

More-adjustable seats (squab/base length for more under-thigh support would make the seats a hell of a lot better. The fact that it's not there makes the seats quite uncomfortable IMO on long drives)
Ventilated seats
heated steering wheel
carplay & android auto

There is a warning on the screen. I've tested this in controlled conditions- if you indicate a lane change with a car in the way, the lane line goes red. If the car is visible on the MFD, it too turns red. I did not veer into the car to see if the Tesla barks as you if you turn into the lane anyhow.

No, I mean just an indicator BEFORE you signal. I don't want to look at the screen that closely when changing lanes.

Excellent idea. A prescient system.

Notwithstanding colorblindness, you don't have to look closely. Do you see red in your peripheral vision? No? Head-check. Clear? Move over.

Yes, like every car with blind-spot mirrors. Just warn me the car is there, so the when I look in the direction of travel the warning is there, plain as day.

I've had blind spot indicators on many of my cars and find them totally useless, because they're easy to ignore. A big red flashing is very easy to see (with signal on) or just notice car icons. I'm in Autosteer 90% of my driving so it's very simple to do either or both those things. With lane changes getting significantly better with the 2019.40 software release, I'm even using NOA a lot more.
