Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

At least I'll be able to view my Sentry events and/or dashcam footage on 24. Nothing is more annoying than having to wait to get home to unplug the drive then go view it on the computer and then come back and plug the drive back in.For what it is worth, I think the manual still crashes on .24
So, dumb summons rarely works for me (maybe 10% of the time). If failed again this morning, so, on a whim, I walked to the end of my driveway and tried smart summons. Interestingly, it worked. Smart summons also looked like was about to try doing a 3-pt run on my driveway to get turned around, but that is for a different thread.

I miss the odometer reading there too. It would be a good place to put trip info also, assuming we can actually reset Trip A & B in the next firmware update. Dashcam viewer is available by voice command only now. I liked the way we could put what we wanted left & right on the instrument panel in the older Model Ss & Xs, however I do like the bigger traffic display.
They do have Sirius listed on the Monroney sticker. If vehicles don’t have the included hardware they are going to have a major issue on their hands.
Has anyone tested the rear USB-C ports? I could not get mine to work while sitting in the front, are they toggled only if someone sitting in the back?
Tried sitting in the back and retesting? Haha
In all seriousness, they should just work.

Someone said that you can make a service appointment and have it be software related and they may cancel the appointment after "forcing" the update. I wonder if service will do it if it eventually roles out to everyone? Who knows.
Not sure if this has been mentioned. On today’s (8/15/21) podcast of Ride the Lightning, Ryan said he received an email which contained evidence that the refreshed Model S did not contain the necessary hardware (motors) to ever allow for screen tilting and a software update will never add that capability.
Did they say what the evidence was? Maybe someone should order the display mechanism assembly to see what it is/can do? From the parts catalog:
Mechanism sounds like something that moves, and $90 doesn't seem really cheap for something that small. (The left/right brackets #7/#8 are only $8.) And it looks like two motors mounted on the back of it to me.
Edit: Though they are probably correct, there is no tilt function to the mechanism, it is likely a swivel function. (Tilt is an up/down motion.)

I guess my bigger question is - what is their track record of reporting things like this and being accurate?

@bananaheim Yes, a mobile appointment is the app. They will do it ota and cancel the mobile appointment
Just passing it on…
You decide on its validity.
