To be fair, I should have pointed out that the dotted line was yellowish or something. My camera-phone didn't do a good job of picking up the color difference. I'll go back and edit that now, to make that point.

It's not just you.
Here's a pic. The warning persists for 10 seconds, then clears, which I think is too short though it's better than nothing. There's also no notification when full regen becomes available.

Hey @e-FTW. We should have just exchanged usernames haha! I also went to run the 5k today in HMB and Autopilot on 92 is not the best because of the sharp turns and several 180-degree switchbacks. I tried to engage it at every possible segment, but it was pretty spotty. I do agree that the more traffic there is, the happier AP is though. Drive safe and enjoy the traffic back tonight!
Separately, I've run the car low enough to get the power arc warning on the upper end. It looks the same with the ! triangle for about 10 seconds, then the triangle goes away. The dotted lines stay.

I'm curious how many other classic S owners have not downloaded 7.0 even though the car asks repeatedly if you want to download it? I plan to keep dismissing the dialog box for a good while. No interest in the ugly 7.0 UI.

A small update on the driveline vibration when autosteer is engaged. I can repeat it easily, at low speeds anyway. It seems to occur exclusively when going straight.
Update was pushed to my car early TH morning, but, was out of town till late last night.
I mentioned in the Beta thread I am dyslexic and was concerned about the update. I actually like it more than 6.2 (ducks from flying objects)
Clean and flat work better for my brain matter. That being said I really miss overall Miles driven and wish it was not nestled into Trips (I am on a lease and calculate often
). I also miss the regen information but almost wonder if they can make that a line below the MPH.
I have a 45 mile each way drive to my dad in a nursing home, 60 miles each way to my moms and 50 mile each way to the airport. All of those drives I am looking for a little bit of an easier time.
I got to try autopilot for the first time on the way to see my dad today. I am one happy kid.
First off, thanks to many of you for pointing some things out. I was ready for them to possibly happen and felt more comfortable using it than without the feedback of this forum.
I took the 210 to Redlands and the car response for the most part was great. No wiggling in the lane at all. My guess is because the lines are pretty prominent. It did however want to exit a few times from the HOV lane when it was transitioning from the dashed white line to the double orange line.
It also wanted to exit a few times when I was in the slow lane.
I then took the 10 - 215 - 210 home. The car acted like the drunk car some people have talked about. Especially on the 10 out in the IE. The lines are not painted as prominently there.
Also, it freaked out on the 215 - 210 connection which a is a big curve.
My hands were very very close to the wheel the whole time and when it went into these little shenanigans it was very easy to take the wheel and correct it.
It was a much more relaxing drive than normal. I am really happy with this addition and look forward to see how it improves as they collect data.
Also noticed TACC as many have said is considerably smoother and reacts more on a level which I personally would. Also a welcome change.
One thing I did not expect. A few cars pulling along side of me and the drivers / passangers raising their hands up. One even tried to snap a picture of my dash.

Usually, I'm trying to keep my power around 20kw... With that new resulution, the power meter is useless.Here's the opposite pic. Power limited.

I wish I hadn't upgraded without checking the forums first... tempted to visit the SC for a downgrade, as 7.0 is mostly just a bunch of blank UI real-estate for me.

Yeah we should have!
AP was actually pretty good on the 92, as the traffic was insanely busy and slow for all of the pumpkin shenanigans.. At a crawl, it can't make any bad decisions without me having plenty of time to pick it up. Those times were usually when we lost the right-hand line for a bit.
The drive up highway 1 back to SF was a much tougher task for the AP, because of all of the left-turn lanes and exits, where it would try and follow a turning car. Then you had the side street crossings that meant the right-hand line was interrupted for 50 feet at a time, and the car wanted to veer in that direction or wiggle a bit.

I will register my sadness at the loss of the v6.2 speed and power bands. Those were great and legible. The new stuff it too small, and too much space is either lost, empty, or dedicated to AP and sensor UI.

Confirmed
As others have said, bar graphs in the previous 6.2 colours may well solve most of the issues people are having with 7. Would use less real estate and allow things both inside and outside temp displays as well as time and day date. The bars could be cross hatched when regen or power is limited. They could also be calibrated. The overall appearance would be consistent with the new design language. The data would be consolidated as in the old dial. I too believe there should be two displays. One with autopilot and one when a human is fully in control.
