Is there a way to block software updates?

I feel that the user interface of version 9 is too flat, like how the background of the instrument cluster is flat grey instead of a gradient. There are also many annoyances in version 9, such as how you can't adjust the "auto" setting for each section of the climate control. Overall, the user interface is less intuitive.

Is there a way to block software updates to that my car with version 8 won't update to version 9? Thanks.

software updates do not happen unless you press the button that schedules/lets it happen.

but regardless, it's going to happen eventually unless you want to be left in the dark of any future features/updates that come your way (especially autopilot), which honestly is the best part of owning a tesla.

Simply refuse them -- hit the X. The nag screen is annoying, though.

At this point, I've concluded that -- if you have a pre-Autopilot-2 car -- most software updates are damage which break features.

Yes, stick a bit of black insulating tape across the top of screen where the little alarm clock should appear, then just pretend it's a block of bad pixels Tesla will fix whenever FSD is ready ...

I'm quite happy to be "left in the dark of any future features/updates" if V9 is any indication of what Tesla is going to change. I expect my car to get better each update, not get worse.

Anywhere outside the "popup window" will dismiss it. A corner or edge of the screen will do it. You don't even have to look.
