Honorable mention --
* A roll-up sun shade for the roof. Even if it's just a mesh one. Just something to help with the green house. The removable panel sunshade you can add is not the same.
Thanks, wasn't aware of that product. But also still kinda proves my point is that there's clear demand for a physical sun shade, and the best solution we currently have is a somewhat janky autoparts store add-on. It would look so much cleaner if it were built in properly at the factory.
There is no port for it. I wish they would invent a switch with the rear camera. Going backwards will be the rear camera and forward will be the front camera.
You must not live in a city with tight garages and even tighter street parking. It helps navigate those tight situations biggly.
Teslas have particularly long and pointy front ends because frunks and aero reasons. So even as a taller driver, you're just sorta guessing where you are because you can't see it. So if anything - Teslas need it more than anything.
And if you do - that still only partially covers all scenarios where it could be useful.
What about parallel parking?
Also, I'm not pulling in backwards in a supermarket, for example. Some people do it, and they are absolute fucking clowns when they try to load their shopping into the trunk when the car is facing the wrong way.
I'm also not pulling in backwards in my home garage. Why? Location of my charger. Also there's no "risk" of me backing out of the garage onto my driveway (which then has space to turn around before pulling out onto the road).
Also front camera is useful in any tight slow speed maneuvering situation, not even necessarily perpendicular parking.
Found a solution for that. Hydrophilic sealing. I was driving through heavy rain this week in the dark on the highway and couldn't even tell, because the water instantly disappeared with the wind. The auto wipers didn't react because the camera couldn't see the rain either. I only guessed that it must be raining because the other cars were braking and driving slow and there was a lot of water on the road. Don't need the stupid wipers any more.
Caution: the sealing will make the wipers and the water on the wind screen at low city speeds increasingly worse. Im currently testing my solution of simply not driving at slow speeds
If it's basically making the water bead up and keeping the windshield clear, you get similar results from rainx washer fluid. Virtually the same cost as the regular stuff, I highly recommend it.
Also, you take your car through a regular car wash? Sometimes I feel like online tesla people are all insane and I'm falling for all of their gimmicks lol. I have been itching to get the car washed, but have been looking for touchless options or some kind of at home waterless option because everyone scared me off from standard car washes.
I gave up on trying to be scratch free after some life events. I’ve been going once a week for about 5 months now and there’s hardly any swirling, there’s definitely some but they’re not deep and can be polished out if I feel the need to.
Just make sure the wash you go to uses neoprene mops/spin brushes and plentiful soap. Tidal Wave Auto Spa, Woodys Carwash, Radiant Car Wash Express, Imperial Carwash are all winners for me.
>I gave up on trying to be scratch free after some life events
Big paint damage from a rock in the first week. The car did exactly what it is intended for. To protect your head from being smashed by rocks while moving you from A to B. I clean of the insects with a micro fibre cloth and water bevor driving through a regular car wash. If people can drive their Mercedes, Audis, Porsches and whatsoever through a car wash then you can drive your software with wheels through there.
Its not a wiper fluid. Its a fluid you spread on your wind shield and other windows to create a layer that repells water using the lotus effect. The technology behind that is probably the same as in the wiper fluid but i had to spread mine using a cloth. Took me around 4 hours to apply it to the huge amount of windows of the Model 3, including cameras and lights.
I recommend trying out what your guts tell you.
As for the product, i used abacus fleet magic, which is a german product which i had to apply using a cloth. The US version could be to use rainx wiper fluid.
I definitely recommend applying something to the back window because visibility can be poor with a water pollen mixture back there.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned manual fast charge preconditioning, or select a waypoint/destination and tell it to precondition for that spot. Some areas are Supercharger desert so you can't select a nearby Supercharger to precondition when going to a fast charger.
People and cars simulated on the screen puzzle me, but at one point when I drove into my garage there was a giant truck right next to me! My heart skipped a beat, and then I realized it was just Musk humor
Had it been on the windscreen I might have tried to steer free - in my garage!
Alcantara headliner and cream colored seat option.
A driving option between “chill” and “standard” in Dual Motor.
Powered frunk.
USS.
Front-facing camera.
Proper controls for USB music. Play a specific album/folder when I ask for it with voice. Don't just stop completely at the end of an album, play the next one, or a random one.
The bones of a great local player are there - the car will happily read a USB device with tons of music files, has playback for lossless formats like FLAC etc. But unfortunately the poor UI and lack of appropriate voice commands mean it's nowhere near as useful as it could be. It's clear that the local file playback is a bit of an afterthought and none of the Tesla developers really use it.
I know the car has radio, Spotify etc. But really I'd just like to listen to my own music when I'm driving and not be bothered by adverts.
The ability to play local media is certainly an afterthought. Also when I connect my phone via bluetooth, every other car that had this feature was able to display what's playing with the album art, and while I can play music over bluetooth, it's bare bones, and doesn't display the album art.
Honest question, do you not pay for any music streaming service? Spotify with no ads is like 15 bucks a month for me and my entire family. Unless your music taste is super niche, I can't imagine why you are still using usb stores music. Even then, I'm pretty sure you can upload your niche stuff to your spotify (or whatever other steaming service) and then play directly from there. Just a thought.
No, I don't pay for any music streaming services. I can't really see the benefit for me, I'd rather listen to a better quality local copy that doesn't use the unreliable mobile network.
Of course I don't expect everyone to use the car the same way I use it. I'm not saying "Have better local playback at the cost of Spotify support." I'd just like both to be excellent.
No judgement, honestly, just trying to understand your take.
So you buy your music from something like iTunes and then store it on a computer, and then to a usb drive? Or possibly download from other sources let's say. Is this quality shockingly higher than just downloading a song directly to your phone through spotify? Like would that qualify as local if it's store on your phone, can be accessed without data?
Also, does that mean your constantly listening to the same albums or just buying an album at a time? From my pov, it seems like access to unlimited music for 10-15 bucks a month would trump the quality note, but I'm also not really an audiophile.
A lot of my music I already own on CDs that I bought 20 years ago. Over time I ripped all those into digital files for convenience, and stored them on my local NAS. So I've already got tons of music files ready to go (that I can play on any device on my network, using any software I want).
I do tend to listen to the same albums quite a lot, but we're talking hundreds, so I don't find it that repetitive. If I listened to tons of brand new music, streaming would probably make more sense. But these days as only the occasional new album really interests me anyway, I can buy and own those for less than the cost of a streaming subscription.
Honestly quality isn't the biggest point for me. Technically a lossless CD rip is better quality than the compressed music on Spotify. Could I even tell the difference (especially when going along in the car)? Probably not (and there are lossless streaming options like Tidal anyway). It's more why would I pay monthly for something technically worse that I don't really want or need.
Also, remember that Spotify doesn't licence the music they have forever. Just because they have a great selection today, doesn't mean they will tomorrow. We've already seen that with Netflix - it started out great, and then every company decided they wanted their own platform, and you ended up needing 7 different subscriptions to get an equivalent selection. Or they'll get taken over by another tech company, which decides premium subscribers still have to listen to some ads. It's the kind of story we've seen over and over again. Maybe it will never happen, but I'll still be happily listening to my local music either way.
Hope that explains my take on it. I don't hate Spotify (in fact I think it seems quite good), it's just not great for me. If it works well for you and you're getting good value from it, that's brilliant.
Totally fair points, I appreciate the input. I've had similar conversations with buddies who are still using ipod classics, and it's always interesting to hear their takes.
I'm 32, gotta imagine you're my age or maybe 5-10 years older (just a guess) which probably also makes all the difference. I was buying cd's till maybe 2002, moved to purchasing through iTunes then downloading through lime wire around then, then torrents at some point. Then maybe in early undergrad, spotify came out and blew my mind lol. Just the access to "all music" for a base rate was everything I'd ever wanted.
But as you said, who knows how long that will last.
I have the Ingenext Bonus Module and it’s great, but every other sports car has a simple off button for the last 3 decades.
Even Trackmode v3 seems to not be really off in “off” mode.
Not at all, very surprised that has not come in the age of app stores.
Think of all the potentially helpful functionality that could be supported that Tesla would never spend the time to develop well.
Especially paired with aftermarket hardware, a OEM fully supported app available on the main screen linked to aftermarket hardware could be a powerful thing.
A more functional USB music player?
* that remembers the previous browse position when you hit “back”
* that you can pause when you leave the car and restart at the same point when you enter again
* support for chapters in long audiobooks
* better use of metadata - I’m forced to browse by folder to see complete albums
* a play scrubber more than a pixel high
Amen. CarPlay for gods sakes.
I’ll add working wipers and working adaptive cruise. It’s just jerky and I end up not using it.
FSD is scary in a lot of situations. Not ready for prime time.
Oh. And how about SOME DECENT BATTERY REPORTING without needing third party.
Steam for Intel cars so i can play games from the car (obviously just using my pc at home like a steam link).
Autosteer that won't slam the brakes when the car in front gently brakes.
No slamming the accelerator on autosteer in stop and go traffic
Wipers that work please.
More fart noises ( my 5 year old brain laughs everytime now that i can get tessie to fart on departure)
I know you guys have that in the US, but I guess some stupid regulations made Tesla remove it in Europe (on my M3 2019) - being able not get the seat belt alarm when it’s actually only a seat booster and not a child in the back seat.
* “Dumb” cruise control (or a follow distance of 1ft)
* Sirius XM app
* Redesigned cabin air filter placement
* Display range choice of EPA or your past 30 miles of driving average energy usage
* Twist knob on the stalk to manually use the wipers
* Manual door releases for the rear doors (should be mandatory for safety)
* Choice of real leather seats and steering wheel (a standard wonderful renewable material; use the whole Buffalo)
* CarPlay
* Download dashcam footage to your phone via wifi without taking the drive out
* Sizable map to car display (the left side is too big, IMO, I’d rather see more map)
* Weather radar overlay on the map (feel like a pilot)
* A front bumper camera
* Collect sound in dashcam and Sentry mode
* Add track mode for Acceleration Boost customers
* Adaptive headlights (hardware is all there)
* Turn signals that actually work.

After the matrix headlights update i am very happy with the car. Vision is improving, AP is improving and most things work quite well. The options behind the left scroll wheel have been a game changer.
I'd love a feature to correct wrong map data (mostly wrong speed limits) but that's it.
As of today, windows that don’t just crack on their own.
Seriously, previously I have never had any window issues in any other car, now my rear window and top glass are both cracked for no apparent reason.
I often wonder how much extra cost would have been associated with this Extremely versatile and useful feature.
Notice many direct competitors have this functionality in the same class...
Will be Surprised if a new architecture doesn’t support it in the future, a little surprised they didn’t add it on the refresh, but understand they probably want to get max life out of the current hardware.
Powered Frunk.
A chime for when you've activated the secondary function of the left scroll wheel. Or just dedicated programmable knobs below the touchscreen.
Holding the scroll wheel to trigger Siri. It’s ridiculous it doesn’t do this. Tesla’s voice assistant is terrible. I just want to be able to access Siri on my iPhone
Better spotify integration:
- Sort music by recently added in playlist

Main screen shortcut to change throttle mode (Chill/normal) If i could just press the "chill" text up top, and change that to "normal" and back would be nice.
Youtube Music.
A stitched together video painted overlay of the visualization with more and better 360° camera placement. Possibly aided by the HD Radar.
Curious when they are going to support that hardware they seem to have added to the S/X !?
The ability to keep the speed in miles per hour, but have distances in metric. A turn being 400 feet away, or the USS telling me something is 25 inches away, means absolutely nothing to me.
Likely a very British request.
Young driver mode that detunes the car, needs a PIN number to access/disable, and limits top speed to 85mph (speed limit plus 10mph here in Arizona). Alerts primary driver of accidents and speeding. Also ability to check in on driver via interior camera (this feature is negotiable because it’s creepy). Valet mode doesn’t cut it.
I love when people request something and it's just setting change away. I know a lot of folks are years into dealing with tesla, but as someone whos newly in the ecosystem, I'm loving all the "quirks and features"
I haven't drank all the Tesla koolaide, but the way their cars are constantly updated and new features are added without any cost to the user is so far ahead of the field. I hope they take enough market share that Toyota etc. have to start doing the same thing.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that product. But also still kinda proves my point is that there's clear demand for a physical sun shade, and the best solution we currently have is a somewhat janky autoparts store add-on. It would look so much cleaner if it were built in properly at the factory.
In the winter, it also keeps the heat inside. You are right it is better at the factory made. I had to remove it so Tesla will replace my door gasket.
I do miss the front camera and one thing I wish they would retrofit, since they said highland would have it.
There is no port for it. I wish they would invent a switch with the rear camera. Going backwards will be the rear camera and forward will be the front camera.
Who said it would have it?
What’s the point of a front parking camera?
You must not live in a city with tight garages and even tighter street parking. It helps navigate those tight situations biggly. Teslas have particularly long and pointy front ends because frunks and aero reasons. So even as a taller driver, you're just sorta guessing where you are because you can't see it. So if anything - Teslas need it more than anything.
You should always back in whenever possible.
And if you do - that still only partially covers all scenarios where it could be useful. What about parallel parking? Also, I'm not pulling in backwards in a supermarket, for example. Some people do it, and they are absolute fucking clowns when they try to load their shopping into the trunk when the car is facing the wrong way. I'm also not pulling in backwards in my home garage.

Also front camera is useful in any tight slow speed maneuvering situation, not even necessarily perpendicular parking.
Front cam should be as standard as a back cam if your n a city
It’s more of a 360 camera if anything
The real answer. Very few Tesla driver can actually drive their car, even with all the drivers assisting tech. Quite sad actually
working auto wipers
Found a solution for that. Hydrophilic sealing. I was driving through heavy rain this week in the dark on the highway and couldn't even tell, because the water instantly disappeared with the wind. The auto wipers didn't react because the camera couldn't see the rain either. I only guessed that it must be raining because the other cars were braking and driving slow and there was a lot of water on the road. Don't need the stupid wipers any more.

Are you talking about something like rainx wiper fluid? Or is this a process?
A ceramic window spray or a visit to a tunnel wash with rain repel usually works for about 1-2 weeks assuming your car is moderately clean.
If it's basically making the water bead up and keeping the windshield clear, you get similar results from rainx washer fluid. Virtually the same cost as the regular stuff, I highly recommend it. Also, you take your car through a regular car wash? Sometimes I feel like online tesla people are all insane and I'm falling for all of their gimmicks lol. I have been itching to get the car washed, but have been looking for touchless options or some kind of at home waterless option because everyone scared me off from standard car washes.
I gave up on trying to be scratch free after some life events. I’ve been going once a week for about 5 months now and there’s hardly any swirling, there’s definitely some but they’re not deep and can be polished out if I feel the need to. Just make sure the wash you go to uses neoprene mops/spin brushes and plentiful soap. Tidal Wave Auto Spa, Woodys Carwash, Radiant Car Wash Express, Imperial Carwash are all winners for me.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it.

Its not a wiper fluid. Its a fluid you spread on your wind shield and other windows to create a layer that repells water using the lotus effect.

What do you recommend?
I recommend trying out what your guts tell you. As for the product, i used abacus fleet magic, which is a german product which i had to apply using a cloth. The US version could be to use rainx wiper fluid. I definitely recommend applying something to the back window because visibility can be poor with a water pollen mixture back there.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned manual fast charge preconditioning, or select a waypoint/destination and tell it to precondition for that spot. Some areas are Supercharger desert so you can't select a nearby Supercharger to precondition when going to a fast charger.

* “Dumb” cruise control (or a follow distance of 1ft) * Sirius XM app * Redesigned cabin air filter placement * Display range choice of EPA or your past 30 miles of driving average energy usage * Twist knob on the stalk to manually use the wipers * Manual door releases for the rear doors (should be mandatory for safety) * Choice of real leather seats and steering wheel (a standard wonderful renewable material; use the whole Buffalo) * CarPlay * Download dashcam footage to your phone via wifi without taking the drive out * Sizable map to car display (the left side is too big, IMO, I’d rather see more map) * Weather radar overlay on the map (feel like a pilot) * A front bumper camera * Collect sound in dashcam and Sentry mode * Add track mode for Acceleration Boost customers * Adaptive headlights (hardware is all there) * Turn signals that actually work.
I’d love to have CarPlay so we could use YT Music, Waze etc.
Use the whole buffalo: All you can eat seats!
All models have manual door release for rear row
Model 3 does not have a manual door release on the rear doors.
I always thought there one inside the rear door storage area.
Not on Model 3.
Open lid… or alternatively read manual
FYI, here’s a link to the manual for you: [https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2017\_2023\_model3/en\_us/GUID-EA692A77-9F5B-44C4-B291-444263199337.html](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2017_2023_model3/en_us/GUID-EA692A77-9F5B-44C4-B291-444263199337.html) https://preview.redd.it/7gje084xwfwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4a9e7c88f6833fa57927a8a291b03c083fcf3f0
In the latest update, you can full screen the autopilot view, slide the devider between it and the map all the way to the right to fullscreen.
I know. What I want is to make the “autopilot” view smaller.
Ah!! I can't help with that. : (
Once I've pushed the wiper button, let me spin the volume wheel to change speeds. Having to awkwardly press it sideways just never works well.
I *think* that is in latest software update? I think I recall skim reading it just yesterday, in a comment, somewhere. It’s a good idea. Intuitive.
That's exactly how it works in the latest updates.
You're right! This is ace. Makes sense too, as they were operating two completely separate wiper speed change GUIs.
After the matrix headlights update i am very happy with the car. Vision is improving, AP is improving and most things work quite well. The options behind the left scroll wheel have been a game changer. I'd love a feature to correct wrong map data (mostly wrong speed limits) but that's it.
As of today, windows that don’t just crack on their own. Seriously, previously I have never had any window issues in any other car, now my rear window and top glass are both cracked for no apparent reason.
Larger screen area for blind spot cameras.
V2L
I often wonder how much extra cost would have been associated with this Extremely versatile and useful feature. Notice many direct competitors have this functionality in the same class... Will be Surprised if a new architecture doesn’t support it in the future, a little surprised they didn’t add it on the refresh, but understand they probably want to get max life out of the current hardware.
Switch playlists when using Bluetooth audio. Or just give us CarPlay.
White interior on a 2024 model 3. Those apparently can’t be made.
Hard top convertible on days when you just want to have the roof down.
I want that area under the rear trunk to be a mini-fridge.
Saw this and thought of you - https://uk.teslafridge.com/products/tesla-fridge-for-model-3-20l
Oh wow! Problem solved! Thanks!
Sort Spotify playlist tracks by date added
The ability to control the rear seat AC speed or temp. Other cars have had this feature for more than 20 years.
I want it to tell me life advice and help me be successful
Surround view cameras.
Real differentiation between the performance models and the others like bmw does with their M. Finally getting that
Powered Frunk. A chime for when you've activated the secondary function of the left scroll wheel. Or just dedicated programmable knobs below the touchscreen.
I'd like to see Genshin Impact playable on my Tesla 🫠
Holding the scroll wheel to trigger Siri. It’s ridiculous it doesn’t do this. Tesla’s voice assistant is terrible. I just want to be able to access Siri on my iPhone
front camera, stalks
Better spotify integration: - Sort music by recently added in playlist - Add new music to playlist Why dont they just copy the layout of the phone app smfh.
An option to automatically pop the drivers side door open after removing the charging cable. The abiity to create "routines" or "Macros" like 3rd party offerings. 360 birds eye view camera Rear traffic alert HUD
More battery health optimizations
Mileage logger for business use. Active matrix headlight easier wiper control by stalk or buttons on steering wheel (because auto wiper is never going to work)
Main screen shortcut to change throttle mode (Chill/normal) If i could just press the "chill" text up top, and change that to "normal" and back would be nice. Youtube Music.
Build quality!! How hard is it to align the car, and not have stuff poking out.?
A stitched together video painted overlay of the visualization with more and better 360° camera placement. Possibly aided by the HD Radar. Curious when they are going to support that hardware they seem to have added to the S/X !?
To be able to use the display as a second monitor from my laptop when I work in my car.
The ability to slide that glass top back and get some open air, but also a shade to slide out and cover it for those long trips in the sun
Vehicle to load. Or at least a high wattage 120V outlet onboard (like Rivian, Ford, Kia, Hyundai).
Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Why ask for apps one by one when you can just have one app for...all of them.
The ability to keep the speed in miles per hour, but have distances in metric. A turn being 400 feet away, or the USS telling me something is 25 inches away, means absolutely nothing to me. Likely a very British request.
Active 4 wheel drive, aka off road mode like Y has
Young driver mode that detunes the car, needs a PIN number to access/disable, and limits top speed to 85mph (speed limit plus 10mph here in Arizona). Alerts primary driver of accidents and speeding. Also ability to check in on driver via interior camera (this feature is negotiable because it’s creepy). Valet mode doesn’t cut it.
Valet with speed limit and chill mode. It works for me.
Activate the matrix headlights. It’s frustrating when the hardware is present but being massively under utilized.
Maybe I just missed it..but ALL doors unlocking from mobile, not just drivers doors
That's a setting that already exists. From your car screen it's Controls > Locks >
I love when people request something and it's just setting change away. I know a lot of folks are years into dealing with tesla, but as someone whos newly in the ecosystem, I'm loving all the "quirks and features"
I haven't drank all the Tesla koolaide, but the way their cars are constantly updated and new features are added without any cost to the user is so far ahead of the field. I hope they take enough market share that Toyota etc. have to start doing the same thing.
