Are we 100% sure of that? I'd be pissed if that was the case. I also use it extensively. is it another place that's relatively easy to find?
Someone posted a screenshot. It's still there.
I can't find it at the moment( whether it was here in TMC or Reddit).
First Look: Tesla Blind Spot Camera Feature in Action; New Smaller Autopilot Icon [PICS] - TeslaNorth.com
We’re starting to see some more glimpses of Tesla’s 2021 holiday software update, which features a new Light Show for Model 3 and Model Y, plus more, including a new blind spot camera feature. “You can now automatically see a live camera view of your blind spot whenever you activate the turn...

If I can add shortcut buttons to the bottom row for things like wipers, headlights, and glove box (you know, car stuff) I might install this even though it still has the (dumb) huge visualization. If the shortcuts are just for apps, looks like I will hold out another year on updates.

kind of funny - maybe I'm the last guy here in this situation, but I'm still PRE xmas 2020 update. ie, my battery is still green, fonts are still as-shipped from a 2019 car, fsd animations did not take over, etc.
been waiting for a reason to upgrade. I see there still isn't any.
when I bought my car, I looked forward to updates and took them, mostly gladly. now, I leave it on 'dont bother me' mode and check here to see if they finally did anything worth taking that big one-way upgrade trip for.
nope. still not worth giving up the stability, fwiw, that I have now.
until they give an undo button, I'm not taking it.

Same boat here. Still on the the last pre-holiday 2020 firmware. Withholding judgment on this update until I see a full walk-through, but not looking promising so far.

plus, I have no desire to enable cabin cameras and no fsd dreams here on the model 3 hardware.
I'm old school, but I know the current software on my car and I'll take the devil I know, vs the devil I dont know. as its often said
I too am in that boat of pre-holiday 2020 firmware. For all the same reasons. Seems there are a few of us out here still holding out for sanity to come back. At this rate my Rivian R1S will arrive by the end of next year and I will "solve" my problem that way.

Even though I don't like CUVs, the Ioniq 5 is starting to look awfully good
My vehicle updated to the current build 2021.44.6 and did not include the Blind Spot Camera, UI update, or TikTok.
On the contrary, I can calibrate my seats and unlock only my passenger door now while streaming Tidal

Seriously. Guess they didn't hear all the carping from 12 months ago about not making things SMALLER!

you know, it occurs to me, there already IS a kind of undo-button on installed versions.
right? some can install the new fsd beta and when they exit it, for whatever reason, they are off that track and on to the old mainline.
so there already IS a way to not be bound to a version and only 'go foward'.
I realize that the way its done now is probably not optimal, but there are ways to make this work if they wanted to.
people who are on the fence to make that one-way would perhaps give it a try if they KNEW they could revert.
I know that undoing things can be hard and sometimes you cant (some modules like gps and wifi take vendor flash and if the vendor does not allow it, that's it for that module; and other sw modules will depend on that - I get it - a whole tree). but for things that are not at the no-return phase (things that tesla fully controls) - they really should allow users to back out, at least the last installed version and revert to the preferred (even if old) version.

And there is it… the tweet that comes way after the expected timeline that it’s still coming, sometime later than planned!

they made the speedo EVEN SMALLER. GET THIS. WHAT THE HECK.
I so kinda support the speedo wandering more and more to the left. keeps my hopes up that one day the AP will be collapsable.
