Font Size Change

[David29]

I'm thinking the average age of the engineers at Tesla is probably half my age, or less. It will be a long time before they have the trouble, we seniors have. Although I'm an Elon fan, I'm hoping his eyesight degrades soon. If that should happen, we would see font adjustments very quickly.

But you know, it isn't a concern only for older people. My vision, as corrected by my glasses, is 20/20! So unless my eye doctor is an idiot, my vision is as good as it should be for anyone at any age (except for the effects of cataracts that make it a bit harder to drive at night in the face of all the newer cars and trucks with bright lights).

Even the youngest engineer learns at an early age, never to give a presentation to management with yellow text or fonts under 10...

I learned not to do that from watching others...

does 2023.6.11 have this feature?

Any reports on whether this feature includes the on-screen owner's manual and the web browser? The current text is too small for me to read even while parked.

(The browser is unimportant since phone browsers are better in every way but screen size.)

My car woke up. Turns out Mothership pushing out a new update, 12.1.

Has the rumoured font change and now you can answer phone calls from the yoke like 2012 MS!

Can you change the scroll wheel functionality?

Have not installed the update yet.

No text size adjustment or scroll wheel customization on this update for S/X. Only phone call controls

Neither of those functions appear on my 2018 Model S after the update

Very disappointed!

2023.12.1 Official Tesla Release Notes - Software Updates says Large Text is only for Model 3 & Y in 2023.12, so it's probably coming to S & X later.

Tesla is adding trim levels to meet country-specific incentives. That must keep the software and QA teams busy.

I selected the larger font size (I don’t know offhand where l found this setting)

It didn’t help. I need to be able to read the text easily. Larger fonts please!

It may be on the "SCREEN" tab, IIRC. When parked, you can try it. Although it is not big enough to suit me, it is a marked improvement for these 76 year old eyes. I also find that running the screen in "NIGHT" mode helps with the contrast issue for the stupid idea of grey text on a whilte background.
You can also try the "SEARCH" function, the little magnifying glass in the upper left of the info screen.
I haven't tied a voice command for this, but I doubt that works.
Let us know how it works out for you.

In 2023.20.4.1, more of the UI text seems to be in bold, which helps make it easier & quicker to read. +1
