Has V11 reduced the number of inputs drivers make?

[spdpsba]

This thread is mainly to find out whether Tesla’s objective of reducing the drivers input and making the car more automated has worked.

From a personal point of view I haven’t touched the screen other than for using the sat nav and possibly some minor adjustments with the heated seats. But prior to this there was always one or other reason to touch those buttons as they were all visible and were right there. So is this what Tesla wanted by removing all those easy to access buttons and hiding it behind the main screen - so that the drivers input can be minimised in a way to pave the way for more automation!

This is not a place to comment on the pros and cons of V11 or auto wipers and headlights and I think there are other threads for that. This is purely to find out whether driver inputs have reduced since the introduction of V11?

I feel they've increased. They've hidden a lot of stuff behind a menu, so you have more clicks to get to the info you want. eg changing the driver (always seems to get it wrong!) or viewing the tyre pressures.

Yes, mainly because now some of the things like trip and tyre pressures are less accessible, I stopped looking at them when I didn’t need to and went back to checking pressures once every few weeks like I used to in my old car. The energy graph is one of my pinned apps and is a better gage of efficiency.

I’ve never had to reach for the demister while driving, auto climate seems to keep everything clear.

The automatic heated seats are spot on.

It's only gone down in the sense I don't bother even trying now with some things like tyre pressures. The latest update has started to bring back some of the features to one touch access, so given we only lived with it for maybe 6 weeks it that can only be taken as an admission by Tesla they got it wrong. But on the plus side, they listened to the complaints and responded.

Yes...

I only need to see Speed, Battery Level & Sat Nav... so it does all that.

Wipers are accessed via stalk button. Menu then pops up for wiper level.

Climate control automation is good, preset via App anyways before we leave.

So I'm all good thanks

Now here's how V11 could be improved...

I have to faff around much more to find anything. I wanted to save dashcam footage yesterday, but couldn’t work out how. It used to be a button at the top of the screen that was constantly available. In the end I had to hit the horn, but this should not be necessary. The bloke in front thought I was beeping him and this could have generated a road rage incident.

I just want buttons to have a place and stay there. I can learn where they are and not have to keep relearning.

It’s not even that, hit the car button, hit the cam button above the sentry mode button.

It's harder to get to the few things I would want to see while driving so I'm less likely to try and access stuff, but I don't see that as a good thing.

You've basically repeated what he posted.

Guys, I haven’t had a v11 update yet. But my car is going to Tesla service in MK for my new car issues to be sorted. Can they update v11 there and then? I’ll get a courtesy vehicle as well.
Thanks

That's ugly and overcomplicated.

Quite apart from having several taps to get something that was one tap, I find the icons so small that I am always having to have several goes at some of them. Then there's the inconsistency between different actions. I think its a dogs' breakfast as an ergonomic design.
