Most of the HW suggestions (some kind of pass through, front device mounting, fifth wheel, rack mounts, fold flat seats, console, HVAC in bed, some form of solar) seem reasonable and have at least received a nod from Tesla, so these may appear at some point in time.
I think for the [lack of general] utility of it compared to the cost and complexity to integrate it, I wouldnât expect a 4-wheel steering system. I could see a vectoring approach because the hardware will already be there and could be a software feature.
I am surprised that vehicle-wide integration and control of the compressor didnât make it to the list but the 4-wheel steering did.
Developing an app API, IDE, and securing it with HW/SW firewalls would take years unless they partner with Apple or Google (or some such), and Tesla doesnât âdoâ partnering. As such, and despite the interest by some communities, I wouldnât expect this anytime soon.
Having the ability to hook up arbitrary devices or use the CT as your own computer is even worse for Tesla. I wouldnât expect to see that ever. They might allow the use of external keyboards or monitors; things that use existing communications and data protocols Tesla has probably already implemented and are already secure, but I wouldnât hold my breath for them to give you control. I wouldnât.
I do expect Tesla to offer as an option the ability to control the lights, for commercial, emergency, or military use, but I wouldnât expect an easy wired solution like the USB ports as an option. Perhaps you should push for a wireless (WiFi or Bluetooth) solution instead.
