Future (software) enhancement wish list?

[swengl]

What would you like to see in the future that could be accomplished using the OTA updates?

I'll go first:

1) When I put the turn signal on, I would still like to be able to see the view from the rear view camera on the screen. I ride with the tonneau closed all of the time and I rely on the rear camera to be able to see what is directly behind me/coming up fast. When you put your signal on, you get the side camera which is good, but being able to glance to see if someone is right behind you would be nice.

2) The ability to adjust the rear camera view to use the entire width of the screen. It can be tough to make out what vehicles are further away from the truck. If an emergency vehicle is approaching, I would like to be able to see it early enough to react and safely let them pass.

3) Pre-configured button to make the truck "squat" to allow for loading/unloading the bed.

4) Tesla app abilities:
a) Ability to adjust the brightness of the DRL lightbar (when parked)
b) The ability to control the music through the app when the vehicle is parked. Bonus: the ability to connect to an available Bluetooth speaker to pump the
music outside of the vehicle.

Instead of a wider screen for the rear view picture, zoom in to show what is behind you more like a typical rear view mirror. I agree we need to see the rear view mirror as well as the side camera when the signal is on.

Wonder if possible to have a little more coast when parking. When you ease up on the gas, the truck stops too quickly.

Would be nice if the TACC could get a little closer to the vehicle it is following. It is pretty annoying to have car after car pull in front of you.

They say proximity alarms are coming, but how about overhead graphics showing exactly where objects are when parking? Add automatic breaking when a pedestrian or object (like a car) is behind you.

#3 Would be very helpful for loading passengers with disabilities. A family member that enjoys riding in the truck is wheelchair bound. I now service->deflate to get the truck down low enough so they can transfer. It would be great to be able to deflate all the way down without having to go to all of those steps.

On the coasting issue, have you tried Chill mode? FWIW, my wife's Model Y's region is way more aggressive (even on Chill mode).

I'm with you on the TACC following distance. I drove a '15 S85D before the CT which had radar and that allowed me to get to a single car length from the vehicle in front of me.

The parking visualization will give you an overhead view, but it isn't like other OEMs in that it doesn't show you the camera view itself, only a visualization of objects.

I think you can turn off the side view cameras when using the turn signals. I haven’t tested this, but I would assume it would leave the rear view camera up.
You can press the camera button on the steering wheel to get a larger rear view camera view.
You can
Also drag the rear view camera to the middle part of the screen making it slightly bigger.

Ability to open/close my gate and garage door without MyQ. Wishful thinking…

The audible alarm sounding and getting an alert on my phone if someone breaks into my truck via "peeling" the window back.

The thing is, I like the side view cameras being enabled, but I would also like to have the rear camera view stay where it is when I'm turning. I don't like my 6 being "blind" when I'm sitting at a light/turn

I definitely have dragged the rear camera view to the right side of the screen to get the larger view, but I would like the option to make it even bigger (or the ability to zoom would be nice). Sometimes, the sun reflecting off of a car in the distance behind me looks like wig-wags and makes me think the police/emergency services are rolling up behind me.

I will say this though, having the tonneau shut and relying on the camera at night is nice when some jerk rolls up with their brights on.

I really like your suggestions. A “double tap” or “finger spread” to zoom camera view option would be great. Maybe a drag and drop camera views to locations I prefer too?

I used to guard U.S. Embassies, we love being able to see as many cameras as possible and moving them around in usable clusters based on certain event criteria.

1) Wiper to do one less wipe when cleaning the windshield. Currently it does a last drywipe that puts streaks on the windshield.

2) Sentry mode when owl appears on screen, turn the LED strip lighting to red on the interior. (like a warning)

3) Squat mode when you long press the tailgate button. (pain in the ass to get into the bed currently)

4) Insane Mode like the AWD Model X has. (AWD CT should be faster)

5) FSD.

6) Auto present. Pop the door open, instead of have to pressing the button.

Why would/should the CT be faster?

The MX weighs less and has more HP.

Because it can.

The Rivian R1T Duel Large is 0-60 in 3.4 sec while the AWD CT is 4.1 sec

Also, the higher stats on Rivian.
Rivian Tri 2.9
Rivian Quad 2.5

CT Beast 2.6

What kind of logic is this?

Rivian is a completely different vehicle, different motor, design, etc.

The logic behind it is that with an Software update, I believe that the AWD CT can unlock more power. Tesla has done this before with other models, and I am sure they can do it with the Cybertruck..

This thread is about what we would like to see with an update. I would like to see more power unlocked with the update. Not sure why you are debating this with me. It what I want to see in an update.

I get it's a wish list, but it's not likely for the same reason M3, S,X no longer get acceleration boost as an option. They want to keep a gap in the difference in the performance models.

Almost 0 chance there's a free upgrade to it, as well.
