If this is just a place to vent about crappy on screen advertising... The MyQ advertisement every time I get near a door or gate I have programmed with Homelink is pretty annoying

I paid full price for this car, why am I forced to deal with so many ads?

Thanks for pointing this out. Now that you mention it I notice that even my tires are covered with advertisements. And I paid for those tires, hard cold cash money I did. Is there no justice in this world anymore?
I was looking out the window when driving the other day and there were these "billboard" things showing adverts!! I mean WHY do Tesla allow these things to leak through the glass???

I know exactly what you mean. The other day I saw a Tesla walking down the road, when suddenly it hit me. I mean why all the adverts?
Judging by the fact that I’m on page 6, OP got the attention they were looking for.

If we're being serious, I would like an option to customize the layout of the app and in-car screen. Could just be a settings tab which lets you reorder the menu items and toggle certain ones on/off. Obviously couldn't let you toggle off everything but I would toggle off Upgrades in my car and Upgrades, Safety Score, and Lootbox in my app.Since this is getting WAY too serious....
For fun, I did the math based on the M3/MY screens. On the home panel, the "Upgrades" button actually occupies 0.8% of the total screen by area. So it's 10x less than posted. However, if you total up all the various panels that popup (Service, Lights etc) and then look at the area of the Upgrades panel, the TOTAL of the UI devoted to the Upgrades "ads" is 6%, again by area (the main full screen plus the popup panels, plus the climate controls etc).
BUT, how could Tesla offer an option to NOT display the Upgrades panel? They would have to put a button somewhere saying "Do not show upgrades panel", but this button, by your definition, would ITSELF by an "ad", so they kinda cannot have the option to not show it ... shades of Russell's Paradox
I don't care enough to want them to actually dedicate resources to this, but in my ideal world we would have this option.
This is TMC and as has been said many times here. if Tesla offered something for free it would cause complaints by folks who wanted the free thing in different colors, or how it should have something else offered free or "why is the free thing so useless".
Free toy car anyone?

As a test, I used the Tesla App to disable upgrade purchases from the car. Now, when I tap the Upgrades tab on the car's display, I just get a message that upgrades are disabled. So, is this still advertising given that the "Ad" no offers any products or services?
I was hoping the Upgrades tab would go away, but no luck there.

Agreed, and similar to the post above ma y will complain “I didn’t realize that was available for my car Tesla is horrible at updating people” followed by I want this updates available tab removed. They will never please everyone yet everyone will complain no matter what is offered.

I can’t believe I just wasted 15 minutes of my life reading this thread. I couldn’t stop though.

If you're not digging wasting your life's time why would you be hanging out on TMC? Asking for a friend......
Maybe this isn’t new but in all my years I’ve never seen this.
The last two times I charged the car I’ve gotten popup banners in the lower right left corner; over where I keep my now playing music.
In each I had to swipe them away.
One was suggesting I check out the games section and have a play while waiting.
Another was to check out some streaming content while waiting.
Anyway to turn these suggestions off?
What’s coming next ads 3rd party companies Tesla profits off.
Not a big deal, so far, but kind of annoying.

The phone app is essential to all modern Teslas and a full 10% of the menu is devoted to ads for stupid crap that I don't want to buy. Inside the car, the main menu that I use for critical functions *while driving* is cluttered with ads for junk that I don't want to buy. Now Tesla is spamming my...
