If they had made the interface so you could truly customize it then people wouldn’t have been so mad. As it is they took a ton of stuff away just to make it look ‘clean,’ but mainly succeeded in making it harder and more confusing to use. I’m hoping they’ll either add stuff bCk or at least improve the customization options so we can add it back.
A good part of the driving experience is determined by access to features and functions of the car. Things like the size of text in voice messages, voice commands now missing, the lack of a permanent display of tire pressure and odometer are to me not minuscule.These were features I used everyday and are now missing or degraded (like the text message location and font size).
Then ya don’t know what you’re missing, and you’re missing ALOT.
This. Exactly!
This is baffling indeed. Why can we add games and entertainment to the app tray but not seat heaters?
its clear which 'side' of the aisle you sit on, but aside from that what recourse do regular people have when big corps do big nasty things and think that might makes right and 'users will just take what they're given' ?
Have you tried the automatic feature? There appears to be a move t remove clutter where an automatic feature is available.
It is, you just have to scroll down to the end of the directions and it‘s there. Was in a better spot before under the ETA, always displayed.
1) Auto seat heaters only work if HVAC is also on and set to auto — often folks want seat heat but not cabin heat (or have HVAC on manual settings, which I basically do all winter long).
Literally this is only happening because Tesla provides no other avenue for feedback. There's no "contact us" form on their site, or "report an issue" feature in the car software*. This seems to be the only recourse. (Note: I am not one of them — just reporting back what I've been observing).
I haven't actually used the new UI, but in this instance, to me the grouping logic seems sound to me. The games & entertainment app icons should be at the equivalent "level" as the climate control icon. You hit the games icon then access a particular game, similar to hitting the climate button (or swiping up), then accessing the heated seat button. The seat heater and Sonic the Hedgehog game would be considered at the same "level". In this case Tesla does prioritize climate controls since it has a permanent place on the tray, where the games icon is customizable.
Yeah, but now the nav system no longer uses two different zoom levels for highway vs. city driving. I loved how it automatically zoomed out further when I got on the highway/interstate, and then back in when I exited. Awesome for seeing pertinent traffic area. Now it stays at one zoom level, and to add insult to injury, they removed the zoom +/- buttons. (And don't tell me to pinch to zoom — this is much harder when driving, and is highly likely to also result in the map no longer tracking the car/heading, requiring extra steps to resolve.)
With that logic, it doesn't fit that they gave individual icons for each audio source, though. Really, they just made the customizable area primarily about entertainment, phone, and non-driving functions (e.g. dashcam viewer).
You mean I don’t need to blow up my brand new MYLR in protest? Thank God!
Screaming. Definitely screaming. Followed by the constructive suggestions.
