Car drives different since holiday update. You guys notice anything?

I noticed it on the first drive since the holiday update. Maybe I was just imagining things... Now that I put some miles on it, I definitely notice changes in car dynamics. It’s somehow more refined and smoother. Initially, I missed the abrupt acceleration and regen, but more I drive it more I like it. I know it’s impossible but even the suspension feels less like it’s crashing over imperfections??!! It feels like a different car now.
 
I did notice that when driving at 50 or 60mph and i wanted to floor it, i no longer get pushed back into my seat and it's a more gradual increase in speed. Like i was able to floor the accelerator pedal all the way down (never even attempted to do that before).

I want to say with the update there is less jerky reaction on my Y with acceleration and regen (in Chill mode). I haven’t tried yet in Standard acceleration mode. Aside from that here’s the quirks I have in my vehicle running 2021.44.25.2:

  • On the driving screen with the visualizations I now notice a very faint and persistent oval shape on the bottom where notifications usually appear and in front of my vehicle object on the screen a very faint circle. It’s almost like screen burn in. I never had this prior to the holiday update. I attached a picture if you can make it out.
  • While Streaming music I am noticing speed compensation volume on the sound system. When I travel at slow speed or decelerating the volume slightly dips and accelerating and going over like 50 mph the volume increases. I see no where in the settings about disabling this and again, I definitely didn’t have this prior to the update.
  • When hitting the Streaming app, it opens full screen and I have to drag it down to MiniPlayer mode every time. Also, there used to be 3 sizes of the music browser- mini/minimal, halfway, and full screen. With the update the halfway view is gone.
