[Candleflame]

yes it is

blind spot camera on X and S do not display on dash screen? only on the main large screen? that seems kind of an odd decision.

Just an observation, the reactions on these forums is rather mixed to this update. However, the reaction on Twitter is overwhelmingly positive. Realistically no critical opinions are going leak through to Elon regarding this update since that is where he hangs out.

Has anyone else had the update install and not get Sonic? I seem to have everything else but no Sonic in the arcade. ‘22 M3P.

Version 11 is ugly and convoluted to use. I really, really dislike it.

I agree with Rkasper - the only good feature is showing the blind spot camera on turn signal use. Everything else, EVERYTHING ELSE, is a regression.

Wait till you try blindspot cameras at night...they are half blinded by the flashing turn indicators

Yup noticed that tonight. I don’t understand why Tesla can’t have warning light that work like any other car

Just got mine about 1p today. Hope you get yours soon. I’m in a 2019 LR, if that makes any difference.

Got mine this afternoon finally as well

Count me in as one who is really annoyed that this is a regression. When I saw that the bottom bar was customizable, I wanted it to be FULLY customizable. Let me put seat heaters and glove box and save dashcam clip buttons there and I’ll be happy.

Also, bring back the cards.

Don’t forget!

And if you do forget….

Just updated, and found it is really annoying with the inconsistent behaviour around climate control. If I tap the temperature or slide up from the bottom of the screen, it brings up the full climate control view. But if I slide horizontally on the temperature or tap the arrows around the temperature to change it, it will bring up a small row of buttons. When I'm driving and could not position my fingers super accurately, how could I know which will be brought up and predict the next control locations on the screen?

Has anyone used the voice activated Santa Mode? It's pretty cool.

Can anyone get a controller to work with sonic? Reading multiple people can’t get their controllers to work, including myself. The controller works fine for the other games.

Earlier when I was driving I instinctively thought I’d check to see how many miles I’d driven since leaving the house and what my consumption is, so I move to swipe out the trip card before remembering it is gone. /foghorn


Also - in the pouring rain I thought I’d prove how easy it was to control the wipers with voice commands. I said things like “wipers off”, “wipers auto”, “wipers 3”, etc. And it worked great! .. mostly. because then I said “wipers four”, which the car interpreted as “wipers FOR” and failed miserably. How the heck did that make it through QC????

Sad!

Yes. Cheapo xbox compatible controller works fine

I liked having my name and the current driver profile at the top of the screen. Otherwise I mostly like the update.

I saw this during the light show on my ‘21 Model 3 SR+. Is this something new?

Yup these are the adaptive lights that Germany has and are technically illegal in the US but about to be legal.

Has anyone figured out how to access the sentry/dashcam viewer? The dashcam icon is no longer above the map. When I find dashcam in the control menu, it just seems to turn dashcam on or off, I can't bring up the viewer.

The dashcam viewer's a separate app that you reach from the little 3-dot menu at the bottom (and so you can pin it on your dock if wanted). Looks like the camera display icon but with a little red 'recording' dot.

I'm surprised to discover that I change the temperature of the cabin heating a lot. Lots of short trips with or without coats and with or without energetic activity in between, I guess!

So I find I really like the split temperature displays in the bottom corners of the screen. Easier to find, reach, and easier to hit successfully while driving.
