While I agree organization is a plus, I also ignore a topic once it winds up a master thread (and there are too many of them).

just change it back to how it used to be, you can merge two of the same topics into one thread but don't merge everything loosely related into one giant master thread. I don't even bother reading or looking for something in the master thread, it's a giant mess with many different conversations going on at once.Please no complaints without listing a clear option on how to make it better.

After a software release, you end up with 20 different threads by 20 different people trying to be "first" to report that "2 cars show XXX release on teslafi, is it wide?!?!?!?" or " "Downloading the new update now!", Or " I just bought this car 2 days ago, took a 10 mile trip and it shows 20 miles lost, do I need to take my car back to tesla?!?!?!?!?"
Yes, because as of right now there have been SEVEN versions. And a lot of issues with each one.Oh, I totally agree that there's value to mergeing posts on a repeat topic. But you described two different topics - one is the new release, and those posts can be combined into a thread on that release, and the other was a common first-timer question on reported mileage estimates... you can argue it should be merged into some master thread, but it makes no sense to shove it into a master thread about a specific release.

Have there really been 1,142 posts in just under twelve days since December 23 specifically about version 2019.40.50.x?
The complaint here is that all sorts of posts/questions on various topics have been collected there inappropriately. Looking through them, I can't tell which replies originated in the thread and which were new posts merged into it - but I can definitely say that an awful lot of conversation has nothing to do with that particular release... and the 58 page length certainly reduces the value of the thread for anyone looking to read up on the release. Honestly, I imagine nearly nobody sets out to read a thread that long.
How do you ignore it? No way to hide threads (at least not that I've found).While I agree organization is a plus, I also ignore a topic once it winds up a master thread (and there are too many of them).
Yes. And SO MANY of them say exactly the same thing. People don't bother to search before posting.Have there really been 1,142 posts in just under twelve days since December 23 specifically about version 2019.40.50.x?
If the posts are off topic, then you should report those to the mods.The complaint here is that all sorts of posts/questions on various topics have been collected there inappropriately.

The moderators are now sticking almost everything into Master Threads. The worst one is:
MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode
That Master Thread contains threads about seat positions, reduced regeneration, battery life, TACC speeds, screen crashes, etc. Most of which aren't really 40.50.x issues. This new organization that throws so many different posts into one large pot is not very useful to those of us who have a particular issue. Seems like a poor way to organize things.
Granted there are so many posts about hundreds of different issues it's hard to organize forums that work for everyone. But I don't see how the latest categorization can be helpful to anyone except those who like to and have the time to read about everything.
Maybe if enough of us are unhappy, things will change. If not I'll sulk quietly.
