Before the refresh came out, there were photos showing the rear screen with video games.
Did I miss something ? My 8 year old wants to do the games in the rear while driving and not seeing that.

I just purchased a 2023 Model S Plaid with AP4.
I have noticed that with the Mirror Auto Tilt option, my side mirrors are not (re)storing inward (horizontal) tilt when the car in shifted into Reverse.
I normally have my mirrors adjusted outwards to maximize coverage to the sides (i.e. not along vehicle, as described here). Per the Owner's Manual, with the car shifted into Reverse, I adjust the mirrors down and inward so that I can easily see the sides of the car while backing up, then save the configuration. When I shift into Drive, the mirrors return to their normal position. But when I shift back into Reverse, the mirrors tilt down only, not inward.
I also own an 2017 Model S and a 2021 Model Y, and both properly apply inward tilt when shifting into Reverse.
Does anyone else have this problem with their 2021+ Model S? This seems to be a software bug.

Yes, those symptoms indicate a software bug. I have not encountered that issue only because my manual does not show that as a feature of my 2020 Model S (pre-refresh)..
The bad news: i've reported three separate software bugs (including a defect in the mirror software), and Telsa refuses the fix them. These software defects are covered under the warranty. Tesla service began by saying things like "it's supposed to work that way." Then they replaced hardware (not effective for software issues). One of my service invoices states that all of these are known software issues, but "there is no timeline" for their repair. I've seen an internal memo that says they know about the problems (with the USB music player) but they have no intention of fixing them. The service manager says that they can't meet their obligations under the warranty because the software team is working on software safety issues (does he realize what kind of damage that does to Tesla's reputation?).
My advice: Document the defect (I've used photos and video for these kinds of things). Bring it to service for repair. Don't accept anything less than Tesla meeting its obligation under its warranty (check your warranty to see if software bugs are excluded: my warranty doesn't exclude them). Be prepared for the runaround. Be persistent. (I purpose used the words "defect," "repair," and "disrepair." Avoid referring to these things as software bugs.)
I'm still working to get my three defects repaired (after three years). Don't give up. Perhaps, go public.

What I miss from my 2015 MS 85D
Customizable Instrument cluster display
Ability to adjust fan speed with right scroll (I guess this is sort of tied to the Instrument cluster display)
Other than these 2, I'm loving my 2022 MS all-wheel drive. It has so many improvements over my 2015 MS 85D.

Yeah, I forgot about the hands-off calling feature. My old 2015 MS 85D, I can handle them all with the right scroll wheel.

I can't remember which update it was but you can now control the call from the left scroll wheel. You will see it pop up on the primary drivers display and you click left on the scroll wheel answer and right to reject call.
Not on my 2021 S FSD... we are always way behind on these goodies. The left wheel hasn't changed at all in 2 years

On my 2022 MSP if I tilt left or right on the left scroll wheel it changes music track or station.

Not on my 2022 MS. and I didn't buy Full FSD the right scroll wheel is wasted. I bought FSD on my 2015 MS 85D and 2019 MX 100D. I just felt the value is not there. no more FSD for me. I think the 2015 MS is just called autopilot at the time of purchase, as it is on hardware 1.0

Mine is a 2022 and has the update. Who is the "we" you are referring to?
Mine does the same when a call is not coming in but as soon as the call comes in, the incoming call message pops up on the display and then you can use the left scroll wheel to click left to answer or right to reject the call.

Thanks, that's great. I will give it a try. I don't remember seeing this in the update notes.

I tried the left scroll wheel as above to answer a call, Works as described! I was wondering what took so long. Thanks for the tip cmarshack!
(I am on 2023.26.8).
I am on this 2023.7.20.... and mine doesn't do any of that. Just mutes calls. That's the last update for me. I have 2021 S FSD. Like I said... we are way behind... like the Sirius updates etc. It took until halfway through the year to get to the 2023 updates
