Just thinking out loud... How about a navigation screen in the back that toggles from HVAC to Nav, so I don't have to hear "are we there yet?" from the kids...

I could care less about the quad climate(I do love new features though, so it’s still a cool thing), but I’m more excited about the ā€œare we there yet featureā€. My daughter could stop asking and I could have her look at the screen!

How far is that? Why is that road blue? Which way is up? I need to use the potty!

Yea. They commented on this in the software roadmap discussion on Reddit a month or so ago

He mentions that in the same thread, actually.
It's the little things that count! In airplanes they have that map of the plane traveling along the route to the your desitantion. I don't know why, but I always find myself staring at it..

I just mentioned this the other day. The ductwork and stuff is all there for 4-zone climate. The lack of 4-zones makes the rear screen worthless currently, as well. Glad it's being addressed, but I'm curious why this wasn't something they could have made available from the beginning

Development work takes time, and quad zone isn’t a necessity so it likely got pushed to post launch. I’d happily wait for that feature while they spend more time on things like vampire drain.

Probably low on the priority list. I would prefer they get the minimum software needed to release the trucks and then update software vs. waiting until everything is ready.

Id like a better solution. Active noise cancellation for the kids. Instantly makes this the ultimate family road trip vehicle.

I don't need quad zone, I'd prefer they just work on calibrating the auto climate mode so the fans don't blow so hard long after you've reached a desired temperature.

Yeah, something like the flight tracker airlines have in-flight. Genius!

Media controls (either basic transport controls or even a full mini interface with song browser etc.) would also be pretty cool and presumably relatively simple to implement.

A couple other low hanging fruit I can imagine:
  • Enable/disable hotspot (and display password)
  • Enable/disable 120v AC outlets
