Here's the beta notes regarding RWD performance.

Interesting that they used a screenshot of the energy history app that is different than what's on the non-AP and the AP cars.

Maybe only for the P85/P85+?
Could this be a situation where these elements where simply left out of the notes, but did make it into the firmware? The AP RWD version of the software does have the performance improvement language (and the "zero speed" improvements) in their notes. Yet it says "rear wheel drive" not "rear wheel drive cars that have autopilot".
Personally I'm really looking forward to this. The quick lock/unlock and the trip computer are both things I've missed. None of the other changes bother me. I can see the time and temperature (and the date as well on the calendar icon) on the center console. I always thought the big battery graphic wasn't that interesting since I only ever look at the number. In fact I generally never look at the energy meter at all unless I'm on a road trip. Unlike an ICE I always know I have plenty of energy for the day. I do use the energy meter, so I'm glad that's still there (and I would have been annoyed if the temperature was missing from the center display like on the beta screen shots).
Option to unlock/deploy the door handles such as when you you are picking someone up. Then I guess you can quickly lock too if a bad guy is approaching.

I must have missed that among the dozens of v7 threads. How did they implement it? Does pressing the parking brake button finally let you toggle it?
Something on the tool bar...sorry, I haven't installed yet so I can't do a photo.

I took mine for a run after the update finished. As expected, it wasn't that big of a difference... I'm not sure if it was a placebo effect or if there was a real change, but it felt maybe slightly quicker...Maybe only for the P85/P85+?

Nice touch. I thought that was just a status image and didn't realize it was actionable. Thanks!

Now we have PROOF that no designers were involved in the creation of v7... the clock shows 11:45 in one picture and 6:32 on the other.
Everyone knows that you always show a clock as 10:10... Why Photographs of Watches and Clocks Show the Time 10:10
