yes but when you want to turn it up again its to dark to find in daylight, it would be ok if you could dim screens separately but you cant so a simple on/off is the answer

I see that 2018.50.6 has 4 installs yesterday. Did you install yet? If so, what were you on and what did you get?

This leak makes me think Tesla is working on the release of AP3 which might explain the delay in new software updates:

Excellent news. Any changes?I just got 2018.50.6.I was the second to update on ev-fw.com.
I fear that S/X software development is dead in the water, and 3 is all that counts. Hint: V9 User Interface.
It is possible to develop quality software and deliver it on or close to schedule, and do so on relatively aggressive schedules.
Most of the software Tesla is developing isn't that complicated, with the amount of time required to implement features reasonably predictable. AP software is the most challenging - and because Tesla is pushing the state of the art with that software, it will be harder to predict how long it will take to implement new features. The rest of the software (user interface, media player, …) isn't that different from what's available in other products.
Producing high quality software on a predictable schedule takes discipline - something most organizations eventually figure out. In other organizations, if software was released with the types of problems and delayed releases, the software managers probably would lose their jobs or be reassigned. And eventually company leadership will insist on software development improvements to get the situation under better control, because software quality issues reflects badly on company products.

So I suspect the person(s) that gave the ok to code in romantic mode and fart noises over fixing persistent bugs or validating other changes hasn't caused issues probably isn't taking their role too serious.

Just FYI this isn't even possible any more as of v9. Screen cleaning mode is greyed out unless the car is in park.

or that could be the role they were hired for. Also, not all bugs get addressed. They only look at the ones they can validate and meet there requirements/percentage of effected cars.
It's also possible at least some of the easter eggs were developed as "off the book" projects, on personal time, and then added to the released software. It's likely the Tesla software developers are working long hours on high pressure deadlines, so if they spend a few minutes on a fun project, wouldn't want to deny them of that...
On the other hand, if easter egg development is using resources that could be applied to fixing obvious bugs (some have been present for years), then that practice should be reconsidered, at least until Tesla fixes the current issues...

We have that kind of philosophy where I work. Sometimes having fun helps with the projects that you are stuck on or having difficulties with.
