Keep the radio controls on the Right

[timk225]

In my Model 3, software version 2023.2.12, the radio controls default to the lower left corner of the screen, and I have to swipe them to get them back on the right side at the top.

I want them to stay on the right side. Is there a way to do that?

And bring back the odometer TENTHS DIGIT!!! There is no good reason why it was removed a year ago!!!

No one else has an issue with this? There should be a way to set a default location, it is easily programmable.

I agree that the UI is still fundamentally bad and inexcusably so. It's arguably better than it has been, but there are some basic fundamentals of UI design that even after all of these summers, this intern still can't manage to grasp, like:

• Don't mix random stuff together in a senseless mishmash. Like tire pressures, music, and the odometer.
• Don't hide things in a random and senseless manner, like the odometer being hidden inside a music icon, which itself only appears if the music is hidden.
• Don't make the most crucial emergency button on the entire screen (Homelink skip) be some tiny grey-on-grey blend-in with the clock that only appears the very instant it's about to trigger.
• Especially in a car.

That's just the way they work now. I would like an option to have them appear on the bottom right, as they were before the update, but that probably clashes with the navigation instructions as they are now situated. It's something Tesla may address in a future update but I don't lose any sleep over it.

+1000! This really bugs me and makes me think the kids doing the ui have never actually driven a car.

One thing is for sure, the car designers never lived in an a place that gets sub-freezing weather, snow, and ice. How the hell did anyone ever think it was a good idea to remove the odometer TENTHS digit? I drove a loaner Model S recently, and it still had its TENTHS digit!!! Apparently only Model 3's and maybe Y's lost it.

Because Teslas UX designers are computer UX designers, not car UX designers.

It’s clear they prioritize aesthetics rather than ease of use and intuitiveness for something in a moving vehicle.

If it were a standalone tablet or computer you use at home it would be fine. But as a car interface it leave a lot on the table.

I need to arrange a meeting in person with Tesla top management and engineers, and bring them a list of what's wrong with the UI and how it should be changed. Increased configuration options, setting defaults, layout, etc.

Let us know how that goes. Oh and tell Elon he owes me $20 bucks

I've lived in sub-freezing weather, snow and ice for 40+ years. I'm having a problem making a connection to that and the use of the tenths reading.
