I was really hoping for the power meter shown in one of the slides at the version 7 press event. At the time, many thought since it was not the version 7.0 power meter that it was likely to be the version 7.1 power meter. I guess I can keep hoping the change gets made eventually.

Going back to a logarithm power gauge? I think it would be great, but I don't think that's the actual order of things, that's probably beta software.
Warning: You may not like what 7.1 does to Autosteer on (divided) highways.
While out testing the new software yesterday, I discovered that on a 6-lane divided highway with perfect visibility, well-marked lanes, no curves, no hills, and minimal traffic, AUTOSTEER FORCES YOU TO JIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 15 SECONDS to prevent receiving a message to hold the steering wheel.
IMHO this effectively takes away the ability to cruise using Autosteer. Just lightly resting your hand on the wheel doesn't stop the nagging "hold the wheel" messages; you've got to actively remember to wiggle the wheel every 15 seconds.
With the previous version 7.0 on the very same highway (which I routinely drive to the airport) I was able to drive 30 minutes without getting the nag. A few weeks ago I drove from DC to Atlanta and back without getting the message unless warranted by conditions (e.g., lane markings disappearing).
Has anyone else noticed this change with version 7.1?
I wonder if the newer VINs (100,000+) have some different hardware or something? It appears that no Xs have gotten it either, which would be consistent with that theory, assuming X and S hardware are in sync.

I had a 300 mile trip right after installing 7.1 and the nag happened every 5 mins exactly. I can understand Tesla wanting to have a nag to make sure we are awake but it does get annoying after a few hours of driving. Also I think the timer should get reset if I start a lane change since it proves that I am in control of the car (I even had the nag happen in the middle of a lane change).
Did you use a timer?
Yep. Used a stopwatch on my phone when I touched the wheel and the nag would appear 5 mins after. The nag timer gets reset anytime you disengage autopilot. I'm guessing most people haven't had 5 minutes of continuous autopilot usage yet.
...and let's not all forget to thank the nuts that created those adolescent videos that so many people watched, which caused Tesla to take more overt and extensive action ensuring the driver is in control.Thanks, that blows...

still waiting for my update. For the ones that got it, any changes on the trip planner ? someone said that it now recommends an average speed to hit the estimated mile range and optimize speed vs. charging time. Sounds like a very good feature if true, any more info on that ? can someone post screenshots or comment ? (if this exists of course)
A) Agree this blows....and let's not all forget to thank the nuts that created those adolescent videos that so many people watched, which caused Tesla to take more overt and extensive action ensuring the driver is in control.
