Hopefully there isn’t a holiday release for the sake of having a holiday release.

Holiday update? what can we expect?

My experience with My Model Y has been the same. I like the auto seat heaters very much. They seem to warm the seats just the right amount and then go away. I never even notice them and the seat always feels great. If only the auto wipers could work as well...
When you select auto climate, even seat heaters auto mode turns on. But I don’t need seat heaters on and so I manually have to click 3x? (3 bacons, 2 bacons, 1 bacon, zero) to turn off auto seat heater. I often switch air circulation mode or adjust fan speed and so auto climate switches to manual mode. Next time when you turn on auto climate guess what auto seat heater turns on and the vicious circle begins
Why attach the auto climate with auto seat heater?
Yes I am aware of that hack but why not just simply give an option for full screen browser when parked.
It’s not like I have to keep an eye on every single electron that goes inside the battery when charging, so why keep giant car cartoon when charging

I see. I just leave mine in auto and never adjust fan speed so I wouldn’t have noticed this.
I would argue that auto seat heaters being part of the auto setting makes some sense, as they're part over the overall climate, and I think most would prefer it rather than having individual settings for everything. That’s the point of an auto mode…set it and forget it, I love it.
However, I agree having an individual auto setting for both the seats and cabin temperature would be best for personal choice…assuming the auto seats stayed in auto forever and you didn’t have to re-engage each time. Maybe a software update will eventually address it.
I have distilled my UI/UX requests down to two items that are fairly easy to implement. I hope that Tesla could consider these suggestions for the 2022 Holiday Update.
1. Bring back the map zoom in/out buttons. When the user touches the map, these buttons should appear. I cannot fathom why it made sense to the software devs to remove this functionality.
2. Make the size of the car visualization side bar user adjustable. IMHO, it takes up too much space and I’d like to have the map use more of my screen real estate.

Since Netflix, Youtube... can now use full screen or the map display window area,
why not having the map or the Web browser be able to use the full screen when parked?

Looks like this might be some of what we can expect:

Make Your EV Fart From A Distance: iOS Tesla App Update Introduces New Features | Carscoops
Users should soon be able to control Boombox remotely and check the internal camera from their phone
www.carscoops.com
4. Has existed since forever, and I already read your follow up, and still wrong, you can add the icon for the seats heaters to the bottom, so you don't have to go into climate.
i'd think these are decent possibilities:
- remote boombox (already in app?)
- remote fart (already in app?)
- zoom (coming at some point per Zoom Product Manager, remote use of interior cam already in app?)
- apple music (shown in unreleased software at museum exhibit, Elon and Tim Cook resolve "misunderstanding")
- steam (mentioned by Elon in February)
- bluetooth gaming controller support (mentioned in unsubstantiated Reddit post by Tesla Service member...one can hope )
- twitter

I think so far that's the most realistic list I've seem. All things we "know" are in the works, but with no actual timeline. Bluetooth controller support should have been done a long time ago when they went to power only in the console.i'd think these are decent possibilities:

One thing about remote boombox would be great if, essentially, it could be done as a bluetooth speaker, not needing to have the car / hvac in function like currently.
If the holiday update doesn't give me the ability to retrofit new headlights or give me more control over configurations then I don't really care. I'd rather not be able to make my car remotely fart. Just useless crap no one really wants.
Is there always a holiday update? Last year was my first. I loved the v11 update but there did seem to be a lot of people passionately opposed to it. I once received 50 dislikes from the same person for saying I liked it. Does this happed every Christmas?
A universal holiday gift-giving tradition.

Just speaking for Model 3 since I have owned it (summer of 2018), the 2018 and 2019 Holiday updates were just feature adds and were generally well received. 2020 was the V9->V10 transition and the reception was mixed since it did implement some visual changes that were not universal popular (reduced map size, a few other things). Then we have the 2021 Holiday update that introduced V11. Massive dumpster fire that they have event still not fully fixed
Huge loss of basic functionality initially, still some missing functionality after almost a year. Very unpopular on all forums, reddit, etc. Yes, a few people seemed to like it, but I (and many) still hate it. I am hoping for a good Holiday Update this year, but based on past experience am not expecting it.

Do not sweat the dislikes - some people just walk around with a pissed-in oatmeal chip. Usually they are because they cannot stand someone being happy or they do not have a sense of humor.
Speaking of receiving dislikes - I think V11 was (as is) great. I like it too. Looking forward to what Santa brings this year.
I think it would be great if the next major revamp allowed for multiple desktops so we could put anything anywhere we like on the custom screen, but still have the option to revert to the “standard” screen when necessary. I guess each driver profile could have it’s own screen too. I guess some features would be required to be present in a fixed location for safety such as speed.
