An optional PIN code required to start the car. That would eliminate some of the recent thefts of those the clone the remotes. Also an encrypted route recording (i appreciate not everybody will be happy with this) but again when cars get stolen then it would be useful to track where the thieves take them.

Use the front camera to detect incoming rocks and position the windshield wipers to block them like a ninja.
Automatically sync blinker sound to the speed of the music that's playing.

The most overlooked thing is the fact that there is no pin for undoing "mobile access". The second someone turns that off you are screwed. Though that optional PIN to start the car is an interesting idea.
Or detect how heavy the music is and change autopilot driving aggression to match it.
Have Auto-drive-by-shooting mode, because I’m tired of having to deal with the nag interval in between clips of ammo. I mean, yes, it’s annoying.... but it’s also unsafe.... I mean doesn’t anyone care about innocent bystanders?

Minimalist (if any) calipers/brake pads - rather super variable regen braking triggered automatically by the brake pedal. Functionally its identical to today but you gain regen even in hard braking instead of just dissipating energy into wasted heat.
Every time I get into my car and put my foot on the brake, I get warned that the seat belt isn't on... but of course it isn't on as I just got in! I don't particularly like an alarm that goes off - every - single - time I get into my car. Let it wait at least 15 seconds before deciding you're not going to put on your seat belt!
I recently rented a car for my vacation in Canada, and I got a small Mazda. The equipment was basic but it had an interesting feature that could be *easily* implemented in Tesla.
Basically when driving backwards the dashboard would play a sound when the reverse camera detected something moving on the visible field.
Also, the car was beeping whenever I wanted to change lane and the blind-spot sensor detected a car approaching in that lane (left or right).
I say that all this could *easily* be implemented because all the hardware does exist in our cars, and I'm pretty sure that the most part of the required software does, too.

Not sure if it's already been suggested, but......
Option to have only the FRONT TWO door handles pop out on approach. Current option is "Driver" (single door handle) or "All" (all 4 door handles). For those of us who no longer need the back doors unlocked......

Just wondering, but why are you pushing the brake when you first get into the car? Pushing the brake starts the car up. If you don't push the brake, it won't warn about the seat belt.

A very good reason is that I have my entry profile push the seat down and back to provide plenty of room to get in. When I press on the brake pedal, the seat moves forward and up. If I do this while the seat belt is on, I get crushed by the lap belt, which can't slip on the buckle while tension is present.
In my opinion, a seat-belt warning should not trigger unless the car is put into gear.
I don't use an easy entry profile. Could you also change the profile on the screen instead of using the brake pedal? If so, that might be one way @conman could avoid the warning.
Because if I put my seat belt on before pushing on the brake, I get strangled by the seatbelt from the seat moving from easy entry to my preset position... I'd rather have the seat move into position BEFORE I put my seat belt on. Exactly as @SucreTease said.
Unnecessary step when it can be done otherwise? But yes it's a workaround...
