No, it is not. CongressDJ repeated one of my first "wishes", having a trunk height setting based on the location.

e.g. when I park in the single-garage in our seaside residence, I'd like to avoid having to stop the trunk hitting the swinging metal door without having to remember to use the "Adjusting Liftgate Opening Height" you mentioned.

Have to say this became less relevant with the Highland, because of a significant "downgrade" in the opening. The previous M3 had a significantly wider opening. But still, they have it on the S/X, so why not on the 3/Y?

This feature doesn’t exist yet. Only half of the requested feature exist. The request was for adjusting the lift gate opening height by location, not just adjusting liftgate opening height in general. I do think it is a very useful feature to adjust liftgate height by location.

I have FSD 12.5.6.3, and it has Chill, Standard and Hurry modes on the highway. If you left-push the right scroll wheel, you go down in speed - hurry to standard, or standard to chill. Right-push the scroll wheel to go faster.

I wish the directions were reversed. The way these speed profiles often get used is to change lanes on multi-lane freeways. If you are in Hurry, you may be camping in the left (high-speed) lane, but changing to Standard has the right turn signal coming on right away, usually. Putting FSD into Chill has you camping in the right lane. So make the button presses more intuitive by clicking in the direction of higher and lower speed lanes.

Right now it's counterintuitive as pressing to the right is what gets you into Hurry profile when you want to go to the left.

Makes sense, only the setting should be country-specific. You know, there are entire nations driving on the "wrong side" :-D

With FSD V 13 now the vehicles sends information to others in the fleet about road closures using camera detection which is great, but why not take it a step further and notify vehicles for parked cars on shoulder, and accidents ahead like Waze does.

i just want a simple 1 touch timer button on the app to warm up the battery. its a sunny 38 degrees at noon right now. i dont want to schedule or keep changing schedules just to warm up battery at different times of the day. this is so simple that i cant understand why it hasnt been implemented before.

I would really like an easy update: parking chimes in a surround system, like in a mini. So say your closest obstacle is at the left back door, the chimes for being close comes exactly from the loudspeakers there.
You wouldn’t believe how comfortable and “normal” that feels. Its much better than the indifferent chime in a Tesla, where you look around or on the display to see, which part if the car is close to an obstacle. While looking to the display you are normally rolling and nearly hit the obstacle until you figured out where it is.

Anticipate turns to keep speed

On steep highway bends, the car doesn't anticipate the turn and obviously slows down / risks to hit the opposite guardrail, so in order to keep the speed / avoid an accident autopilot must be constantly toggled off/on

I understand this has been incorporated?

Highland: guess driving direction at all times
Fine when it selects D or R going out of a parking, but why not doing it at all times, since the interface is so poor? E.g. you brake to a car or an obstacle during a parking maneuvre, if should reverse.

Let's see how they did it

 

[K.I.T.T.]

Steering wheel vibration when navigation is silent
If a Tesla is a smartphone on wheels, why don't we get the possibility of replacing voice guidance with vibration, instead of silencing it all the way? At least when a long time passes on highways between two directions, being gently nudged by a vibration would help, especially if the car can sense that we are in a lane far from the intended exit.

When you disengage FSD and press the record button to send a report, the radio should mute itself.

Fix Mirror Auto Tilt

Mirrors do not return to saved tilt position when backing up to avoid scraping rims on curb. Tesla Vision alone is not precise enough to park close to the curb.

See screenshot of latest Tesla Manual for Model S

BTW....My 2004 BMW has this feature and it works flawlessly...lol

Happy to report this is now fixed. I can now put the car in reverse and the mirrors will tilt to the exact location every time. Only tiny issue I have is there's two custom mirror reverse positions I need on the driver's mirror. One to see a garage door when backing out and the other to see the tire when backing close to a curb on the driver's side, but this update meets my needs. Thanks Tesla!

My 2025 wish list

Tesla has been chipping away at my wishlist of features on their way to making my car perfect.

Apple Watch App
UWB Phone Key access
Custom Tilt Reverse Mirror
Side View Window Repositioning
Speed camera alerts

My 2025 wish list

Metric distance option for Navigation Only (currently it's vehicle wide metric option)
3D Maps
Matrix headlights
Autopilot using One Pedal Driving (I'd use FSD way more)
Follow-Me FSD subscription profile
Waze-like road hazard crowd reporting in maps

What do you mean by autopilot one pedal only?

I want to see the option where FSD uses one pedal driving regen for braking primarily. I understand it’s brakes only.

 

[K.I.T.T.]

Really? I don't have FSD but on basic I have the feeling it's using regen primarily, actually i do hit brakes when an emergency halt is required and I feel the difference.

I haven't been able to find anything definitive on regen being used. I'll go look again at the regen bar while on FSD to see if it's showing use. Ideally the car should be able to anticipate situations before me to minimize even more the use of friction brakes.
