1. Give a configurable option in the software where I can map a feature to one of the hard buttons on the steering wheel. For example, the one I’m looking for is to be able to turn on the power outlets that control my overhead LED light or my bumper LED light from one of the switches on the steering wheel. There’s even an open button on the steering wheel now that’s not connected to anything I believe.

2. YouTube and other entertainment experiences available to the passenger while driving. Internal camera can still monitor the driver for compliance and then also compare it against the weight in the passenger front seat and maybe even throw in a click thru disclaimer. Too much big brother now.

3. Improve the wireless charging rate (even with the most current hardware, it’s still very very slow)

4. Tough one - they would have to redesign the tonneau cover role mechanism, but the ability to have some kind of pass-through from the passenger compartment to the truck bed.
There's an aftermarket pass through now. Not great. I passed on it. Basically, you replace the window with a removable one. and of course there's no behind the seat place to store it.

Tesla branded power stations and portable solar panels, including a big one that is optimized as best as possible to add range with solar. A mobile gateway would be lovely. They could do it easily and crush the market.

Altimeter! It's already got one. It's part of the GPS, just display it on the map. When you're going over a pass and the snow level is at 5500' it would be nice to know whether you are at 5000' or6000' especially in low visibility.

Wireless would have a lag and could be dangerous. But yes a real screen mirror would be nice. It’s also interesting that you can’t plug in trailer cameras into the hitch, they are pretty much standard on most expensive trucks now.

Another feature request would be to have a way to precondition from the app. Imagine you're in a hotel. It's 12degrees outside. your battery is at 30%. There's a Tesla charger 3 miles away. You warm up the interior, but when you get in and navigate to the charger, your battery is at 12degrees. it won't warm up in 3 minutes. But you could have started when you went down for breakfast! if only there was a way to do it from the app.
I’d settle for parts not falling off…Tesla has a fantastic theoretical understanding of glue but in reality it’s been a dangerous disaster.

1.Rear camera sprayer .
Wet road driving doesn't take long before rear view mirror is completely blocked . Renders FSD completely and dangerous to drive without rear view sight . Especially since there is no actual functional rear view mirror .

2. Front headlight washers .
marked dimming up of lights from dirt build up even on normal winter highways .
also snow build up as well . Would eliminate this problem as well .

please someone make an aftermarket version for this . It would sell big time .

Almost forgot. HOTSPOT! I have premium connectivity. I know its cellular but i should be able to at least check emails on a tablet. and faster when connected to WIFI Mercury. I know they don't want Joe Public to connect to WIFI Mercury, but if our truck connects and puts out a hotspot, that would allow passengers broadband on their devices.

Need matrix adaptive headlights, auto high beam on/off/on/off is getting old.
Digital rear view mirror is also a huge miss. Make sure you are submitting vehicle request in feedback
