I had a couple of thoughts on software features Tesla could add, as well as a problem that hopefully you could fix. I'm hoping they read this post.
Software problem:
I use a USB on my Model 3, which contains Music and Boombox sound effects. Some of my music on the USB was ripped directly from CD's that I own. For some reason the audio system gives me a error message when I try to play them, but has no problem with MP3's. Any chance Tesla could fix that? I also own a hybrid van with a USB input for the audio system, and all of the songs play without issue on it.
Suggested software upgrades:
- If you use a USB for the Boombox, the next time you use the Boombox, it defaults to Fart for sound effects. Tesla should add a favourite option, so that it defaults to one of the other sound effects instead?
- Tesla should add some more sounds to the Boombox. I would recommend the Tardis dematerialization/materialization sounds, The Darth Vader theme, and the soundbite of Dr. McCoy saying "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?!" (That one was a great horn alternative until the Boombox feature was downgraded)
- Tesla should add a schedule feature to the audio system. I listen to multiple radio stations, and sometimes I want to catch particular programs at specific times. It would be nice to be able to program the system to change to channel __ at 7:30 am, and then to channel __ at 8 am, etc.
- Tesla should add an 'Uber' feature, so that if you are using your car with Uber or Lyft, it will turn on the internal camera and record what occurs during a ride, in addition the dashcam or sentry mode.
