Would love a "finish charging at..." feature, as well as improved infotainment functionality... and the ability to turn down the volume of the AP on/off chime. It's wayyy too loud.

So far, I doubt anyone is really ready to just get in and trust their Tesla to drive - I've had it miss far too many cars in my blindspot.
Heck, it still cannot operate windshield wipers. Frankly, I don't think FSD is ever going to come, until its in the form of something like HOV lanes, with special markers, meant for cars to communicate with/there's a method for a cars to communicate with one another, which is protected from hacking. We could do that now, if the market wanted it. I don't see it working otherwise.

Time will tell. I really hope Tesla figures it out. I think it would be a good thing for society. But it’s an incredibly complex problem to solve 100%. People spend too much time arguing FSD here. Gets old.

Agreed, and it I sure does (get old). In the mean time, while Tesla tries to figure it out, to where it’s reliable/dependable, it would be nice to have some of the other safety basics offered by just about every other luxury (and non luxury) brands.

Just wait until the Diesel trucks start installing red light or stopsign decals to their rear windows. LOL! 
I agree I don’t think Tesla has the hardware for rear crosspath either. But I think they could do a whole lot more with what they do have. I think that they could be 80% as effective. Problem is the side cameras that point rearward are to far forward and can still be blocked. Where as typical rear cross path systems have radar in the rear two corners for optimal “viewing”. I think rear cross path could be implemented with cameras and ultra Sonics but the camera’s are not in the best location for it. But still in a better position than the driver is.
They really really should have some sort of radar in the rear. For many reasons.
Even a “stitched” panoramic rear view of the 3 rearward cameras for the back up camera could go a long ways.

Agreed. For the life of me (other than cost savings), I don't see why Tesla would not provide this basic safety function. Autopilot doesn't function in reverse, so that's not a viable argument for not including it either. I don't consider "Summon" an acceptable alternative for this, either.

Auto park does.
Which is why they would see it as useless.
The car parks itself rear-inward- so it would never need rear cross-traffic since it never pulls out of a perp. parking spot backward.

Which will be awkward with diagonal "one way" spaces that aren't meant to back into.

Not really... diagonal spots don't have the same issues... the backup camera has vastly better visibility in that situation and it generally is backing up at much less of an angle into one-way traffic instead of relatively blindly into parallel 2 way traffic.

Yes, but that still doesn't help with autopark which will not cope if it can only reverse into spaces.
Parking in diagonal spaces does not require a parking maneuver; it requires a driving maneuver.
To parallel park or end-in park (perpendicular):
1. Stop driving in the lane of travel.
2. Perform parking maneuver.
To park in a diagonal space (angle parking):
1. Continue driving from the lane of travel into the space and stop.

1. Stop driving in the lane of travel.

IMO all diagonal parking should be arranged for backing in, pull past the spot and back in. TREMENDOUSLY safer and much easier. But as said above I don't think it would take much to teach the NN to pull in forward diagonal as its very basic for vision.

I don't see an 'AP design flaw' when it comes to angled parking spots. The car will just pull straight in. When it comes to backing up, the rear camera has ideal line-of-sight into the lane it is backing into, and the front fender and b-pillar cameras have line-of-site into the opposite lane after the car has backed out half-way or so.
The way I see it, the car has better line-of-sight backing out of an angled spot than it does trying to pull out, nose-first, from a perpendicular spot.
