After spending 5 hours riding in the Cybercab, here is some feedback for the Tesla team/some features I would love to see in the vehicle:
• Manual air recirculation: At one point, I was stuck in traffic behind a large, smelly gas truck spewing fumes. It would be nice to have a manual air-recirculation button on the main screen for situations like this so the smell doesn't enter the cabin.
• Full-screen map/navigation: I’d love the option to expand the map and see the Cybercab’s full route/navigation on the big screen. The small map in the top-right corner is nice, but being able to expand that would be great.
• Windshield cleaning on command: Having the ability to clean the windshield on command would be great. There were a couple of times when the windshield was pretty dirty, but the car didn’t recognize it and clean it, so I was stuck looking through some dirt and debris. Not a huge deal, and I know a lot of input is considered error, but I think it would be a nice addition. Could just enable with through Grok voice.
• Destination editing from the main screen: Having the ability to edit our destination directly from the large screen instead of requiring the phone app.
• Adjustable bottom seat cushion: I think it would be useful to give riders the ability to raise the front of the bottom seat cushion for better leg and under-thigh support. This would be especially helpful for taller passengers and, when fully reclined, would kind of create an almost zero-gravity seating position. I know this is the least realistic feature request in this list, as it adds complexity and cost with the bench seat.
• Rear camera view: Add an option to bring up the rear-facing camera on the main screen so riders can see what’s behind the vehicle similar to what the Cybertruck has.
I had a hard time coming up with a list of things because the team did such a great job thinking through everything before launch haha, but I think these few things would meaningfully add to rider satisfaction. Congrats to the whole team on the launch, it really is a fantastic vehicle and experience! Can’t wait to show my 76-year-old Mom the Cybercab when I show her Giga Texas next month for the first time.
(Of course I had to stop at Terry Black’s while I was in town)
Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!

Finally, a pair of smart glasses that actually looks good 😭
Even if they’re not that useful, I might still keep them just because the old bulky black ones were honestly so ugly!
I’ll post some real-life shots in a couple of days when it arrives 👀
