Model X Feature request thread - (to be seen by Tesla Motors and perhaps acted upon.)

Full no- leather option

Full no- leather option

Please, for us vegetarian-ishs it'd be nice. No elephant horn ivory dash trim either.
BTW This thread is like having a 2-year lag deja-vu. It makes me feel young.

Feature I would love, a 400/500 mile range. I am troubled by range anxiety.

You'll find that once you're driving electric, that fear should dissipate. It did for me once I took a real roadtrip in my Roadster (no superchargers, lot less infrastructure).

How often do you drive more than 300 miles in a day?

Feature I would love, a 400/500 mile range. I am troubled by range anxiety.

How often do you drive more than 250 miles/day?

You live in the SF Bay Area. The Tesla Supercharger network in California and in adjacent states allows you to drive almost anywhere with one or two 20 minute stops per day.

Once you have a Tesla your range anxiety will vanish.

I second that. The free Superchargers make it so easy.

Also, I won't be surprised if in the next 5 or 10 years we see a Tesla with a 500 mile range for the same cost and battery volume. With batteries continually improving, I have a good feeling this can happen.

My anxiety decreased as I reviewed the projected 2016 SC map. If those SC actually materialize, I don't perceive any trouble ahead. I won't get my MX until early 2016 anyway.

Hey surprised nobody has mentioned towing and roof rack wishes.. Or rear rack?

And what about snow?

And what about snow?

I know Paul and AnOutsider are rolling their eyes and going "et tu..."

 

[gjunky]

Heated AND ventilatedseats at least in front but an option on the second and third row with local controls (not just from the central screen)

I'd like to devote the car's spare processing cycles to Seti@home. :tongue:

Great idea! When I was working in Puerto Rico, I visited Arecibo many times & could envision that THAT is the place we'll make contact.

Model X Feature request thread - (to be seen by Tesla Motors and perhaps acted upon.)

A place to post your wish list of things you'd like to see included in the Model X. (Some day.)

Who is going to show this list to Tesla, who at Tesla do you expect to see it, and how do you know it's going to be acted on (perhaps)?

And what about snow?

Is that a snow plow option Bonnie?

Well, if you consider the rumoured amphibious mode it could easily be made to function as a sleigh.
Of course you would have to deal with all the amount of snow falling inside when you open the Falcon doors just like with the S hatchback; but it would be totally worth it if the self-retracting roof-rack had heating ability; and of course having the retracting roof rack also allows you to keep the rear hitch open to tow the 55kWh extended battery trailer.

Good question.

I suspect like most companies, Teslas has a public relations department monitoring social media. This is obviously a significant one for both existing and new customers.

A factory bull bar or roo bar option would be useful here in Australia, most SUVs can be optioned with one. I'm sure the aftermarket will develop one here. Here is a similar one to the one on my work Rav4:
