Camper HVAC Mode

I hit the voice command, say "Enable Dog Mode", then exit the vehicle.
When I come back, the interior is comfortable. Very easy, no futzing
with the touchscreen.
2020 Model 3

Upvoted.

Even though you can open the climate screen and turn it on there, an optional pop-up Exit window when putting it in park, with an option to keep the climate on, is a very convenient feature.

My Merc has a quickly physical button (not the Webasto button) for keeping the climate on (no AC though) before leaving the car. I used it every time I was visiting a shop. I miss the simplicity.

Not implemented in Model 3

Ive only slept in my Model S once and had expected the car to stay "on" as long as I was in the car with the fob. As it was now my sleepover experience was not a good one. For sleeping in the car I want the aircond/vent and the light to be on as well as the electricity in the cigarette and usb power outlets. This should work regardless if the car is being charged or not. Could not be that hard to implement so please do!

I would like the 17" screen to default to an 'Exit' screen whenever the 'Park Button' is pressed. Similar to the 'Home Screen' functions.
The screens would present certain functions that you may need,
At That Time.
Ergo, upon Parking, you may need the ability to turn On or Off the headlights, retract the mirrors, mute the radio.
Or, you might need to adjust the HVAC to run for a certain period of time, then turn off.
Touch a slider and tell the system in need to stay on for xx minutes.

The car can act as a hurricane shelter. This feature would be necessary in such a case.

This is needed. I sleep in the car now and then and my only option has been leaving the Windows down a bit. Much rather have Windows up and system on. Timer can also shut AC off if battery reaches a preset low level to make sure you have plenty of power to get down the road a while.

What I would like to see is...

When driver exit car and close door: If passengers are detected (we know the car can from seat belt alarm)

1. The Entertainment/Climate systems should be kept on.

2. The car should require key detection to start/enable drive again.

 

I have to deliberately not close the door 100% to let the entertainment system keep running when I i.e. go into the store while the rest of the family waits in the car.  Common, let the car be smarter. It knows there are passengers left inside, let them enjoy the entertainment system and climate control when the driver leaves the car.

This should of course be enabled as an OPTION in settings, so each owner can choose how the car behaves.

 

I did sub this as a separate suggestion, but the mods apparently thinks this was the same as this suggestion, I think not, but hey....at least I can make a comment here.

it they add a "AC Shopping mode" make i GPS aware

 

Model S connectivity is not always available.  The app continuously says it is trying to wake the car but it cannot be reached.  I am in a rural area for a month and would love to have a convenient way to keep the AC on when I leave the car.

If you have an iPhone or iPad,

try getting Remote S, by Alan Wong's Regoapps

It has a "Camping Mode" function, which will keep the a/c on

The app is great when it works, but it is relatively unreliable and can be frustrating. I agree it would be nice to be able set this from inside the car.

I would like this feature too as I would love to be able to have my dog in the car while the AC is on - and stays on until I tell it to turn off.

please this is a must have for the model X!

 

I too would like to see this.  I'm not saying I can't use the app because I do.  I have had on occasion to not be able to connect to the car via the app.
