'22 MS features still missing in '23

[aerodyne]

Thought I'd start a new thread, different from defects or stuff missing on delivery, or prior refresh 1.0 cars that have no steam, etc

Looking for input on advertised features from Spring '22 (Refresh 2.0) that are still missing this year.

My short list:

1) Ambient Lighting.

2) ARNR.

3) Gaming from rear screen.

Going to ping the SvC on these, and escalate if needed, but NOT interested in supporting any other action, such as those involving legal action.

subscribed. Though, my priority is fixing the half-shaft vibration and squeaking suspension. I don't really care about these features.

You should have ARNR but it’s weird that one day it will just show up. Doesn’t matter what version you are on. It does absolutely work, but has some rough edges.

I'm glad that I don't have those problems yet....but greater than zero chance I will.

Looking forward to the brain trust here to lead the way.

Ambient lighting is working on my car (built Nov-2021), but it's not as bright as the prior generation. Check above the map pocket and I suspect you'll find it is installed and working.
Now there was another feature that never made it into production, with the sliver 1/4" wide bar on each door, just below the wood trim that would light up. Some very early cars got the hardware, and at some point (before Nov-2021) they dropped the LED hardware, but there is a connector left in the door panels. It may be they didn't work well, or there was a supplier issue early on. As far as I know, no cars had this feature enabled, even if you had the hardware. I've never seen an image of these lit up as well, so it was likely dropped well before the first shipments.

I also have noise reduction, but never use it - so as far as I can tell, all cars have it now. It was added in December 2021.

So here is the answer from Tesla on my question #3 rear screen, and my reply:

Thanks for the info. I'll be checking, but as I recall, the map light is not really ambient lighting, in that it does not turn off or on with the button on the center screen. Our cars may be different.

Anyone have any tips/tricks to make the ANR to work? I've had mine selected "ON" since I got the car but it's never worked.

Well, some say it works, some say it does not. I've not been able to hear the difference myself.

Could be car dependant.

I'll be trying to run this to ground with testing and with the SvC.

You don't have the half shaft vibration between 40-50 mph yet? Or the squeaking front suspension over bumps? Those are much more annoying to me. My car squeaks like a rusty old pickup truck and they claim they can't hear it or fix it. I've sent videos of the squeaking and they won't do anything about it.

Shhh...car is within range...and sleeping.

No, I don't have anything like that.
Mainly paint and minor damage from delivery and service.

Do have the occasional rattle from the covers behind the tilting screen that @WilliamG noted.

Occasionally, hear a scraping noise, but that's from the factory mud guards hitting the ground.

That said, this car has very few miles, very gently driven, only 15 seconds out of chill mode.

What is ARNR?

So it appears I do have some semblance of ambient lighting (Map pockets) and ARNR (Slight reduction in specific conditions)

I'll still ping SvC on these issues, but right now my only beef is the lack of rear screen gaming.

With Bluetooth for the rear screen please

With Bluetooth for the rear screen please

Absolutely. Long reach from the rear seat to the glovebox with a wired controller.

We already have Bluetooth controller support. I think @epicshooter was referring to Bluetooth audio support so that headphones could be used to provide rear seat occupants with different audio.

May we please add Elon's promise regarding a functional horn? It's quite a safety defect that they needed to fix ages ago.

Almost had another accident yesterday on a two-lane/double right turn as someone swung wide, out of their lane and into ours. Would LOVE to have a horn button that's actually USABLE when faced with such a situation, AS PROMISED:

As much as I agree with holding them to deliver what they promised, I tend to focus on fixing the obvious flaws in the car first, like the vibrating half shafts, squeaky suspension, and squeaking driver seats.

Devils advocate here, why not just give kids in the rear seat an iPad? The screen will be bigger. Games will probably actually work, rather than the broken steam integration we have now... bluetooth controllers and headphones actually work... You'll be able to continue to use music and the radio in front.... etc.
