Anyone else find the Touchscreen Door Closing UI confusing?

[RobertSeattle]

I've only been an X owner for about a week now but have multiple times clicked the wrong button when meaning to close a FWD, and instead opened the driver or passenger doors. Happens when I am trying to be quick (like child drop off). My brain is trained that top means front, but in the UI, the top of the screen is the FWD, not the driver or passenger doors.

Yeah. Sort of.

Agreed. Would prefer the front door controls to be higher up on the screen since we traditionally think of top of the screen as representing front or forward direction.

Yes - I've had the same thought a few times. Submit feedback?

@OP, Yes, they are confusing and are not arranged logically. I would encourage you to send your feature change request to [email protected]

I sent them my feedback on this topic on April 25th. Heard back from a Technical Support Sepcialist the next day saying they'll pass on my feedback to the right folks at Tesla.

Yes. I think I'm finally getting used to it but still hope they change it. Is like more perspective so proximity warnings for both front and FW doors can be represented.

I agree, the current setup is not intuitive.

I figured it out because of the shape of the FWD Icons. But always want to press the wrong button. It takes me a second to pick the correct one. Would seem more intuitive to place them in the order of front and rear. At least the Frunk and Trunk aren't reversed.

Yea, I rather have a big graphic of the car and I can just click on the door to open the door, etc....

I agree, then it would work just like the fob... click on the door/hatch you want to open.

After having the car for a few days, I like that the front door buttons are at the bottom of the screen. Makes it a bit closer to my finger and those are the ones I open 90% of the time.
