Anyone else dislike the new UI?

Honking will record the last 10 minutes if this feature is enabled and if the USB stick is working. However, if the icon doesn't show up on top of the screen, chances are that the drive is not accessible, therefore honking won't help. Either the drive is not inserted (duh!), not formatted or otherwise not ready to work. Unless there are already important files on it, I would first try to format it. If that doesn't work, remove and re-insert it and try to format again.

But serious question, how do you manually save dashcam footage now? The icon that used to be on top near LTE wasn't there last time I needed it...

Is your usb storage still working?

What do you think about Xpeng version?

China's EV Startup Xpeng Unveils the Beta Version of its Advanced Self-Driving Feature Called ‘Navigation Guided Pilot'

Terrible. Hate it. The animation (looks cool but not useful) is giant. Speedo, map, music, HVAC controls (the useful things) are tiny.

It looks like maybe in the Xpeng UI, the visualization and map are integrated together, so it’s a map if you zoom out, or the FSD debug info, in addition to the TomTom style directions if you zoom in. I kinda dig that.

Hum... Didn't think to check USB was working... will do. Only considered they moved the button.

This new update (48.35.5) is cutesy and I like it a little but it has a fatal flaw for me! On the freeway I regularly used the + and - signs to increase/decrease cruise control slightly. They are gone! As if there wasn't any room for them? Software programmers probably don't have their own Tesla or they wouldn't assume features they might not use aren't necessary. Now I have to either get out of c.c. or speed up a little and reset cc.. This takes too much attention away from the traffic outside. BAD idea. Can I reject the update?

I received an update that embiggened my speedometer font. 2019 Model X.
2020.48.35.5

still think battery and temp/time is too small. And I miss having day of week on there.

Use the knob on your steering wheel, much safer

Yeah, the right scroll wheel has been the main way to adjust cruise speed for quite a while. Much less distracting than using the screen.

A few in this thread alone have tried to have Tesla revert their car to a previous OS version, but so far, no one has been successful.

Another issue that bothered Mrs. Uujjj. In the old version, the blue color of the car on screen matched the blue color of the car itself pretty well. Now, the shade of blue on screen looks nothing like the shade of the paint. This change baffles me. Why the hell did they change the shade of blue so it doesn't match the car anymore?

For the first time I can say that I hate a Tesla update. I cannot see any reason for making the visualization area larger which reduces the map size and the image size for the back-up camera. The speed is now smaller and it is very difficult to see what "gear" the car is in; P, N, R. The font is too small and it is grey, not black. I have complained since I first took delivery of my Model 3 that the range, time, and temperature are too damn small! There is, or at least was, plenty of room to make them larger for all, or even better, make the font size selectable. In my opinion, the image size for the back-up camera should be full screen with distances to nearby objects overlaid on the image. Make what is important to see, easier to see!

The SentryCam viewer, too.

 

[tlr1000]

I'd like to be able to resize the two portions of the screen by dragging the dividing line - like columns on a spreadsheet. If I had FSD and was using it, maybe I'd make the visualization side even bigger and when not using FSD make the visualization side much smaller.

 

[mark95476]

Yes, and like phrank stated previously: the scroll wheels is safer. Taking your away from the the road to fiddle with the display is the very definition of unsafe.

Yeah, the right scroll wheel has been the main way to adjust cruise speed for quite a while. Much less distracting than using the screen.

When I am supercharging or simply in P gear, why can't web browser open full screen? Why can't paint app open full screen?
Most of you guys have never used v8 but I started with v8 and since than UI is just a total failure and makes no sense.

I considered making a click-baity title so more people saw this but I'm not trying to be a troll on purpose.

A recent UI update to a big business service I use in my professional life caused tangible productivity issues. I complained. Guess what happened next?

I should add - the UI update that was rolled back prioritized sleekness/decluttering over displaying and making readily accessible important metrics.

I wish more software companies were willing to do that. Most are way to prould and controlling.

That was my thought, too. However, I could see no real benefit to the new UI beyond the fact that it looked "sleek" so that motivated me not just to complain, but to be very specific in how the poorly designed UI negatively impacted my workflow.

Anyway, I was really (pleasantly) surprised, I didn't think they would do anything about it based on how I've seen over software/tech/CaaS companies react

Completely agree - but it’s livable now
