Korbin, do you mind if i link this thread on Reddit? I want it to get as much attention as possible what you've done.
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.

I don't think the current method of writing posts in this forum or tweeting at Elon is going to yield consistent results. However, if we can start developing and culling an idea list then it might be more powerful and we would hopefully see some very positive change that is sourced in a way that is consumable by Tesla.
In order to help in this process I put together a pretty rough and ready list of major areas as well as an idea or two for each. You will be able to vote and add features/bugs that you would like to see voted on as well. This way the ideas can be quickly shared and bubbled to the top if they really resonate. The system is trivial, easy to use, and run by an online company called tricider.com.
A few important points.
- You will need a login. This is to prevent spam. I know we will lose some people right there but a spammed voting system is useless and not very credible
- Please try to limit your descriptions and comments to 100 words or less.
- If you think I am missing a category please let me know and I will add it
- Elon refers to 7.1 in his tweeted request. Typically a minor release is more about bug fixes and small features vs. significant overhaul. Don't restrict your thinking to 7.1 but do keep that in mind as some things just are not going to be feasible or quick wins.
If I get the time I will go through and add some of the feature request lists I have already seen on the forum. That is a lot of work so if you want to help I would be happy to take on more of an editor role vs. attempting to read every message and interpret your intent.
Okay, all caveats and rambling over. Here are the lists.
I hope you find this useful. Please feel free to feedback or comment on how it works or if you have a better idea for how we can crowdsource and prioritize some great ideas for our favourite car.
Korbin, what is the link to the site that lists all the categories you've created? Or do we just have to use direct links to each one?
Has someone tweeted these to Elon's feature request tweet?
Not to my knowledge. I was hoping we could get a more scalpeled approach to get someone specifically in charge of software dev to take a looksy. I don't want the significance/value of this site to get lost in the noise of Twitter while people are tweeting for a one-touch pizza button on the 17" screen.
Practically, we should either direct them to this thread since the first post has all the links OR email/tweet/text each link individually (there are at least 4) to whom it may concern.
Hi,
You could add a new category called "Hardware". There should be a category to add things like these:
- Adjustable headrests (Bjorn is a big fan)
- Cargo fastener clamps in the trunk
- Get rid of plastic seat backs
- Get rid of the the plastic nosecone
- Automated frunk opener
- Coat hangers
- Cup holders
Here's my list of Software update i would appreciate Seeing:
-Bring back colored Background while in Navigation (currently Dark grey), Bring a little bit of color to the Screen.
-Show Odometre permanently on the dash, as well Battery Status with % percentage & rate range Ideal range.
-Bring back the Speedometre on the center screen with Regen and power usage. Perhaps the Auto pilot feature on the Side.
-Allow to Search the NET with voice control, similar to Siri or google search : Where is the nearest Startbucks? What is the current weather forecast?
-Skins would be awesome. perhaps different color backgrounds.
I am sure I can think of a few more.
- - - Updated - - -
Battery Temperature status.
When using MAX POWER, It would be great to have an ETA of when the system will be ready.
Agreed that we should focus on software. Mainly because it is easy to get wins that affect a large segment of the population. I am thinking that we "leave the polls open" for another few days then I can try to synthesize and push back to this thread. Watching the updates come in it is clear we are still in the "word is trickling out" phase. When voters dry up it will be a good time to refresh the categories and make sure features/bugs are lined up into relevant categories and make this a maintainable process for the long term.
I don't know about the rest of you but I see very obvious themes here where some effort and focus will probably help Tesla win over new customers and retain their passionate existing customers.
If you have ideas or thoughts to the contrary let me know.
