To be fair I think this looks SOOO much better than the EQS!Anyone in the market for an Oldsmobuick? @Tigers ?

I appreciate the perspective. I will dig through the menus to make sure I have those on. I don't think I've run into a situation where they would have gone off yet, but I think warning tones would probably be sufficient.
This. I dont need to SEE and ASSESS whats in the blind spot. I simply need to know SOMETHING is there.
Yeah that looks very cool for the Y. With my admittedly limited experience on the S's auto high beams, I would say they strongly favored the low beams and only kicked to high when the circumstances were ideal.
That would definitely be a better solution, even placing it at the top of the 17" screen would be better and more in the general line of sight.
The horn thing is so incredibly dumb. Maybe it can auto honk for me....
That HAD to have been an Elon decision. Had to have been. And why am I 100% positive engineers disagreed with him/said to "sure, add horn activation with the little button, but also LEAVE it via airbag as well". And said engineers were either ignored, fired, or both.
I have not been in a refresh S yet and so I do not know about where the horn thing is but agreed that it does sound retrogressive. That said, I must be in a minority as I, in fact almost never use the horn. I can't remember the last time I did. I occasionally get the urge to which is almost always because I think I should let another driver know they were being a jerk. Honestly I don't think that's the intended use of the horn and in my case I'm always afraid if I did use it in such a manner my target may have worse road rage than me and hurt me. So almost never horn. Now, new headlights I'm all in but that new rear is not exactly appealing. So just assign my S already, TESLA!!!
I agree the horn is the biggest miss in an otherwise amazing car. Not that huge of a deal, just annoying. I learned the turn signals quickly because I use them every day, but the horn takes some time because I don't often use it, when I do though it's rarely in anger and more for the original intention, to alert someone else who's doing something they're not aware of that could cause an accident.
I actually cant believe this isn't how they implemented it?? I hadn't seen any videos of this feature so I just assumed it was in the instrument cluster like every other mfg who has a similar feature. What kind of idiot would put it on the center screen when an instrument cluster exists? (i know the answer is that they just don't care to develop software for the s/x, but it still bugs me).
IDK call me old fashioned, but I just use the mirrors to see to the side of me. I have no blind spots in the S, but the Y's mirrors are a little stubbier and more difficult to adjust to eliminate blind spots.
Call me old fashion, but I still use my eye balls.
Green did a mockup of the video feed on the instrument cluster. It is not perfect, but clearly doable.
Agreed! I don’t use the horn often, but when another vehicle almost ran me off the road, my instinct (and years of muscle memory) was to strIke the middle of the yoke. If you are using the horn just to get someone’s attention, the button works fine, but in an emergency you need something bigger than a small button on the right side of the yoke. I believe this is a huge safety issue.
I’ve had the same experience (see my post). I have a VIN just days after the EDD was pushed back 2 months!
