No I have not driven in Puerto Rico but that is just another example why Tesla needs to decouple units of measurement at least for speed and distance as other car manufacturers do. It's also a problem for folks who commute for work at borders like the US/Canadian border. In my case my line of work uses distance in metric so I it's actually hard to convert on the fly imperial units watching the navigation distance count down..2 mi., 1 mi., 1/2 mi., 1/4 mi. 1/8 mi. 500ft 400 ft...and so on. I think yards are mixed in there somewhere..lol
Software update wishlist

Adjustable zoom in maps.
Problem: Zooming in on maps while navigating always snaps back to a default level.
Sometimes it's difficult to tell which which lane, exit or turn to take because the map isn't zoomed in enough. Tesla needs to allow users to set the zoom level they prefer.
Some car brands have maps that automatically zoom in as you get closer to an upcoming turn.

My 2025 wish list (UPDATED)
Navigation
-Metric distance option for Navigation....not vehicle wide.
-3D maps view option
-Waze-like road hazard crowd reporting and hazard alerts in maps
-Customizable zoom in maps. (Option to automatically zoom as you near a turn, exit or fork.)
FSD
-Keep Right Pass Left Option
-Alert when you're about to run a red light. Optional emergency breaking.
-Floating FSD subscription profile (your FSD subscription goes with you in a rental car)
Security
-Birds Eye Camera View (camera views stitched together to simulate Birds eye view)
-PIN code for access to Sentry videos
-Cabin Camera recording (Valet and repair shop monitoring)
-Event alerts and view of event log on app. Someone opening an unlocked car door should alert your phone.
-Car detects and honks at someone backing out of their parking space towards you.
-Variable PIN keypad panel (numbers are shuffled)
-PIN code 6 digit option
Completed items
Apple Watch App
UWB Phone Key access
Custom Tilt Reverse Mirror
Side View Window Repositioning
Speed camera alerts
Adaptive headlights
Blind Spot Camera (with arrows)Now shows views for left and right on dash

As a suggestion or alternative, I would personally prefer if the car was “smart” enough to see an obstruction, congestion, or other reportable things and just ask for a confirmation if what it is seeing is correct. This could also maybe help Tesla train their AI driving model better and possibly even predict traffic patterns based on routes and different time of day.
Soooo... Enhance have comparatively been more prolific than Tesla lately in terms of features. They implemented the windows-down feature to simplify access to the car in tight spaces I requested, only... they did it in a simplified way, that doesn't convince.
Either you lower the window(s, you can preselect which ones) every time, or at the usual dumb selection home/work/favorites.
I actually suggested them to lower the window when pressing the door button from outside twice, only. From inside doesn't make sense, you already have the dedicated button.

Yes they said they will incorporate it. Strange that they didn't do it from the start, my suggestion was simple and clear: using the door handle as an open window trigger from outside the vehicle. That's all we (plurale maiestatis!) are lacking.
They already released a fix with to inhibit in case of car wash mode is on, collaterally one of the scenarios that I mentioned to them about why this doesn't work: when it's raining you don't want this kind of automation.
Plus there is no point of automated opening when exiting the vehicle, so at least they should make some effort in recognizing if it's an entry or exit (i.e. external handle Vs. internal button) and possibly giving user the option to enable separately.
After a weekend trip to Mexico with no DCFC's on the other side of the border (Baja), I got up close and personal with really slow charging. (Solar, 110v, shared).
On the way down, I got a lot of alerts along these lines: "Drive below 60 mile per hour to make it to your destination with 5%".
My suggestion is to make FSD listen to those alerts, and NOT drive over 60, or some other set speed required by low state of charge. I would dial back the maximum speed to 60, but every speed limit change, FSD threw that away and rocketed up to another speed, like 70mph. Let's just make FSD aware of impending doom in terms of running out of charge.
Ultimately, I made it to a destination charger, but at 0%.

i know tesla is adding a way to request features directly, but here’s my request: let us actually vote on features the same way we vote on supercharger locations. whichever features get the most votes move to the top of the list. feels like that’d make updates a lot more community-driven instead of just hoping the right engineer sees a tweet.
Just as a heads-up, you can already activate low power mode through the app. However, it is on the row of quick shortcuts along the top (right under the image of the car). You can select it and drag it there to make it a permanent option on that bar, otherwise you would have to press and hold that to open the small menu.
Full-screen visualization should make battery at destination more prominent
When driving full-screen, without the distraction of the map, the battery at destination (or next stop) is relegated to the rightmost side of the screen, far away from the driver's eyes on left-seat cars. It should rather be positioned on the top-left side, below the next turn.

I'll repeat an earlier suggestion of mine, now that I've had the personal need for it. Emergency Rooms at least (hospitals? urgent care facilities?) should be shown as Points of Interest on the nav map. They should be prominently displayed as a red (or green) cross.
I needed to take my wife to the ER last week, and I was quite frustrated trying to navigate to it quickly. I first tried "ER" - nothing. "ER Cortez" (I was in Cortez, Colorado) got me 'Did you mean El Cortez restaurant?' I had to type in Emergency most of the way to bring anything up. And it's frustrating to get to emergency rooms where the main door is marked 'Ambulance Only' and you can't see another entrance. (Happened twice to me now).

I would like the GPS system to display the car's altitude.
The GPS altitude or the actual terrain altitude by cross-referencing with the navigation database?
I'm still confused as to why the latest update is signalled as enabling satellite view on the map, which has always been there in my Teslas of the last 4 years. Perhaps they mean now it's "free" and unrelated from the Premium Connectivity package?
I'd like the option to disable one-pedal driving in Reverse. After 2 years, I still haven't mastered that.
Just press Bottom and say "zoom in" until desired level, and it stays there.
