Side Door Pockets
256
Now Implemented!
Description
Have side pockets in the doors to hold thin/small items.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
Most vehicles offer side pockets or pouches in the door as a standard feature. While having side pockets is not as clean looking as the current Model S design, any additional storage would be welcome.
Status
Now standard in all vehicles.
First, they were implmented in all Model 3 and Y. The mid-year 2021 Model S and X now include pockets too.

Is it not amazing that Tesla has resisted for 8 years to put side pockets in the doors and coat hooks above the back seat side windows in Model S? But we must be thankful as well: For a few years there is now a center console! And Model 3 has all off these things for less money!
I'm a brand new Tesla owner and I love the car, but I sure miss the storage on my BMW. No center console for our "stuff". More storage is definitely needed. Some way to retro fit to the existing fleet of cars would sure be nice to for all of us who already own a Model S with very little storage.
yes-door pockets would be handy - but I would NOT want them to be big enough to hold a water bottle. I'm thinking side-cushion air bags launching heavy things. Pocket big enough for tissue, or gum - but nothing heavy and hurtful
Where in the wold do you keep your ice scraper?
I imagine that the current design stems from some sort of Frank Lloyd Wright principle. He would not design garages into houses, preferring carports. His rationale was that owners would be less likely to clutter up a carport than a closed garage. He may have had a point, but we still need bins for stuff. I wouldn't insist on doors to cover them up. ;=)
A cut-out large enough to hold a bottle of water or Coke would be the icing on the cake.
