Had a chance to play with V11 on the X and I don't echo the same concerns a lot of other people have. Ignoring the lack of attention to detail with a lot of the white spacing with words and icons; I like it.

Overall, I can see the direction Tesla is trying to go with their UI. Something that makes more sense for the general Tesla population. I can also understand why a lot of people on the forums don't like it. Anyways, I like the update and I wouldn't read too much into what other people are complaining about.
Here are some quick tap throughs I took of the new UI:

Things I like:
- General UI is more streamlined, I particular like the Spotify UI
- Color icons are nice, though they look a bit dated
- Map orientation moved from top right to top left, closer to driver
- Ability to edit waypoints, in addition to just adding them
- Less overall UI clutter
Things I don't like:
- Charging/supercharger icon on main map menu has moved to a subtab accessible after tapping the nav input box
- Not a huge deal, and I see why they've moved charging here. The charging icon on the main map menu was ambiguous and more of a "power user" feature. As a non-Tesla enthusiast, it totally makes sense that charging would appear after tapping the nav input box
- This change seems a little odd since you can access charging when you're not navigating, but once you start a trip you cannot toggle chargers along the route
- Trip options was moved to the expanded menu (I preferred them to be in a button inside the search box)
- IMO, contrast between window panes should be darker. Right now, everything blends together
- Removal of battery visualization (historically seen when you tapped the charge icon in the top icon bar)
- Tapping the charge icon takes you top a new "Charging" page that doesn't provide any information on charging
- Removal of seat heater controls from action bar; now you must click the temperature which pulls up the climate panel
- I think I'd get use to this, and it's not as big of a deal as everybody has complained about
- No changes or customization to the center instrument console
Bugs/regressions:
- Cannot modify charge from charging menu
-
- Spotify artwork missing on instrument cluster
- No historical energy data for instrument cluster or "trips"
