Tesla Holiday Update Wishlist: Top Features Every Owner Wants
Hey Tesla fam, DennisCW here! If you're new to the Tesla world, one of the coolest things about owning a Tesla is the annual Holiday Update. Every year, Elon and the team drop a software update packed with exciting new features that keep your car feeling fresh and futuristic. We're expecting the 2023 Holiday Update anytime this month, so fingers crossed it lands soon!
Tesla owners have been buzzing with wishlist ideas. While some folks outside the community dream of Apple CarPlay (not happening anytime soon), us insiders have some game-changing requests. I've compiled the top ones that could truly elevate the driving experience. Let's dive in:
Top Tesla Holiday Update Wishlist Features
-
Supercharger Virtual Queueing: No more circling crowded stations. Join the queue remotely and get notified when your spot is ready.
-
Manual Battery Preconditioning: Take control and precondition your battery on demand for optimal charging or performance—super useful for road trips.
-
Expanded Vehicle-to-Home/Load (V2H/V2L): Power your house or devices directly from your Tesla during outages. This could be a lifesaver!
-
Blind Spot Indicator with Ambient Lighting: Use the cabin's LED ambient lights to subtly alert you to cars in your blind spots. (Hackers have already done it—now make it official!)
-
Always Display Alternative Routes: Navigation shows options without forcing a reset. Perfect for spontaneous detours without hassle.
-
Tesla Cross-Fleet Communication: Teslas talking to each other to warn about potholes, hazards, or traffic. Fleet intelligence at its best.
-
Improved Smart Summon: Make it truly "smart"—reliable summoning from parking spots without the comedy of errors.
-
Auto Shift for All Vehicles: Bring seamless auto-shifting to Cybertruck and others in every mode.
-
Banish Mode: Pull up to a store, hop out, and send your Tesla to park itself. Valet-level convenience, Tesla-style.

Must-Have Tesla Accessories from Our Partner, Joa
Now, a quick reality check: Your new Tesla comes with zero accessories. Not even a phone mount! But don't sweat it—we've got the essentials covered.
Here are my top picks from Joa (and yes, I use them all):
- Phone Mount: Keeps your phone secure during those neck-snapping accelerations.
- Center Console Organizer: Say goodbye to lost keys and loose change.
- Invisible Underscreen Station Mount: My newest fave—perfect for stashing sunglasses discreetly.
Joa goes beyond basics with:
- A wireless game controller that fits in the glovebox.
- Portable air compressor for road trip peace of mind.
- Even an electric scooter—ditch the walk from Superchargers!
