Didn't see this, but voice dialing phone numbers is something many of us have been looking for and nice to see it is there.

The new slider under charging is really difficult to use and a step backword. Why the complex graphics and miniscule slider button.
This is just a bad an assumption as the one Tesla apparently made in assuming no one really uses the USB music interface. Clearly many, many people love the streaming options in the car. You frequently see it high on people's favorite features. I don't find it particularly compelling, either, but there can be no question that a large number of owners use it.I just don't see what they actually improved in the media player at all - except for Streaming stuff - which nobody uses because they certainly have their own solutions.
I fumbled with this for a bit as well, but kind of liked the definitive increments provided by the left/right arrows. I kind of like to track my range over time, and knowing it got set to the right place is nice. No more of the "is that right on the trip line and 90%, or just under it and 89%?" game.I totally agree. I got my update two days ago and spent about 30 minutes last night scrolling through this thread about all of the other issues with this release. I was surprised that no one had commented on the charging slider graphics. I mean, I can barely read the charging slider now. This is not an improvement. The old slider was so easy to read and visually was fine. Who could possibly have concluded this was such an improvement (it's not) to be worth the programming effort to change it?
Does anyone else's touchscreen now stay on after exiting the car?
Just to make sure, you do not have anything in the passenger seat to make the car think there is someone sitting there, right?
Forget staying on... mine rebooted spontaneously 9 times this evening on the drive home... called Tesla Service and apparently it's pretty wide-spread. Can 8.1 be far behind?
Hmm. No, but I do keep the seat belt plugged in since it minimizes the seat belt rattle on that side.
I'll see if that is the issue. Wasn't a 7.1 issue...
Based on all of these comments I don't think I'll download 8.0 when it's made available to me. Sound like a major step backwards or maybe into a black hole. This is what happens when graphic design takes precedent over functionality.

Definitely agree, so much so that I'm afraid to use this "call so and so" feature. I want the name displayed before the car dials the number, so I can see that the car heard the name correctly. Either that, or I need to make sure I have two numbers for every contact, so when the car gives me the choice of numbers I can see it chose the correct person.I don't like the new voice control. It automatically calls the person whose name it thinks you said, but that's often wrong, and so it went right to dialing a random acquaintance from my contact list. And I didn't know how to cancel it with the new steering controls. I also don't like that the auto-dialing prevents us from using the call command to then navigate to a contact's address.
Well they said a new feature of 8.0 was keeping the screen and A/C on if a passenger stayed in the passenger seat. We were wondering if they used the weight sensor or not, and someone said that it appeared they didn't. So maybe you found the trick, they are using the seatbelt.

So if the alphabetic listing is gone from the media app, how do you get to what you want to listen to? My wife, like so many of you, has so much music on the USB stick that the alphabetic listing is a necessity. You can't really use the alpha listing while driving, but we frequently use it as the passenger or just when stopped somewhere. I can't imagine trying to scroll through the entire listing without a quick way to jump around.
Taking away the alphabetic listing to jump through them makes absolutely no sense. I have hundreds of songs on the usb and the only way to search is by scrolling is idiotic.
except for Streaming stuff - which nobody uses
