Next Gen Model S wish list

[Olle]

If, as some have speculated, there will be a new Model S coming, what features would you wish for?

Here are mine:

• Horizontal screen, like Model 3, but much bigger. I want it really high up so I don't have to look down.
• Optional Long wheelbase version with space for reclining rear seats.
• Quieter cabin
• Better voice control
• Optional massage chairs
• Active suspension, similar to Mercedes 'Magic body control' but better
• Smartphone dock up on the dash where you can see it. (this is not only directed toward Tesla, but I find it ludicrous that car manufacturers put phone docks down low while most drivers buy aftermarket window and dash holders, or worse, hold the phone in their hand while driving)
• Tow hitch
• Perhaps central driving position like the Semi? Can't make up my mind on this.
• 360 Dash cam that immediately uploads to the cloud if there is an accident, even while parked

I drive in Houston. I need the urban battle package with armor and particle cannons.

How about:

• 10 min max recharge time capability providing 80% of battery capacity
• Heads Up Display (HUD) - showing speed, directions, safety warnings (objects near the vehicle - blind spots, pedestrians, animals)

So, a Tesla RV?

 

[Xenius]

Door pockets,rear cupholders?

Central driving position is a definite "no go".

This would make the Model S into a 'weirdmobile' and go against the whole design philosophy of the S. (showing that electric cars can be just like normal cars, but more beautiful, more powerful, more refined and more practical/luxurious)

It's also a gigantic waste of space in a passenger car.

Unless you have one passenger on either side, a few inches behind you so you don't rub shoulders. I would still be wary of the weird mobile factor though, that's the only thing

Here's another thread pretty similar to this one for "luxury" improvement's.
Predictions: Model S 2017 luxury improvements

 

[jeewee3000]

Let's just keep the driving position where it is in passenger cars. Maybe, MAYBE the Roadster V2 could get away with it, similar to the McClaren F1 or something, but I'm glad they went for the "normal" look.

Auto tinting glass would be nice too. As dark as you wish in the day, clear in the night

 

[miemrich]

Powered front doors (optional) like in the Model X.

 

[meomyo]

great responses. I would say these things
basics 1st>
coathooks
lighted vanity mirrors
door pockets
better console area
More luxury inside for 100k- like massage seats suggestion in front and rear seats.But i can see with these more issues would likely arise because of internal parts so that may be hard to get in there. Seats should be uber comfy yet firm and supportive with amazing quality detail so in 10 years they look new.
Pre tinted windows option would be great 30-35% option all around as 20% may be illegal in some places.
Factory wraps options.
More colors in general.

 

[meomyo]

Powered front doors (optional) like in the Model X.

yes those doors are very solid feeling compared to the s.
ALSO ADJUSTABLE SEATBELT HEIGHT LIKE THE X HAS!!! why the s never had this is lame. I bet they could replace the inside pillars to have this option put in though.

 

[DriveMe]

Honestly, I hope they won't change the Model S too much.
For example, I hope they keep the central instrument cluster. I fear they are going to get rid of it just like on Model 3.

My only request is to hide the central headrest for better visibility, similar to how they did it on Model 3.

- Dynamic Rear Turn Signals & Front Dynamic Turn Signals

-Auto Opening front Doors
-Blind Spot Monitoring located in mirror like every other car with Blind Spot Monitoring!
-Rear Seat Controls

-Nappa Leather
-Key Fob Wrapped in Leather
-For P Cars to stand out from the rest of the Non-Performance Car's.

Agree on all except the branded sound. Only would I clutter my interior with an audio brand if they pay me for the advertising

 

[achilles992000]

car is big. would like less width.
some of the Model 3 features like the cup holders, coat hangers, and pockets.
option for automatic door handles. i love the feature, but prefer less maintenance costs.
less bulky doors
blind spot monitoring
scroll option for fan.

Google earth images of your location. zoom in location with pictures. had a hard finding the exact location of superchargers in remote places, especially if they are in parking garages or malls.
less carpet in the back and trunk. my dogs shed and i can't get rid of the hair.
less plastic in the dash and on the doors
battery needs more range. Model 3 long range gets 310 miles and recharges much faster.
cool graphic when charging is complete.
key fob that doesn't require battery.
more audio commands and better voice.
different looking back of the car.

 

[achilles992000]

auto tinting would be great too.

Yup, I worry about that too. I wouldn't want the Model 3's UI, I *like* having a second screen (and my speedo) behind the steering wheel.

I also worry they'll screw up the exterior styling somehow in any refresh. It's pretty much perfect already, very 'Aston Martin dragged into the future'.
