Yeah the refresh was not designed for a steering wheel, annoyingly. Many of us experience the cut-off image on that driver’s display. That’s why I haven’t switched to the steering wheel.

Seems like such a minor thing to do but maybe not. I doubt they'd want two interfaces (yoke and steering wheel) so we're really only talking about moving things over an inch or so on the screen.

I'd like the UI for the small screen (as many others have pointed out) in the 2021+ Model S to be more center in view for round steering wheel. And when you're driving it, make the animations less busy. The speed should be more front and center.

I think the intention behind the post was to have logic (vision) identify when the turn signal makes sense or not.

In 2014 they released that and removed it a short time later. It worked well. It might be baked in under the covers now, with no user adjustment, but rather automatic. Would be interesting to test it with a meter.

We already have that. It’s not user adjustable but it’s definitely there. When I got my 2021 refresh it was too aggressive, actually. I could always notice when it got obviously louder going 25-30mph-ish. It got toned down in a software update, thankfully.

That might be why. I can only speak for the 2021+ refresh. It is definitely, definitely there.

That's the point.
If you've ever wondered why you don't need to continually change the volume in the car, now you know why.No. I do need to change the volume. I haven't noticed it working and if it does, it's terrible compared to other vehicles I've had.That's the point.

Works just great for me, so I don't know what to tell you. If you think about it, setting the volume to 6 or 7 when going 70mph would be significantly louder to the listener at lower speeds due to road noise being reduced. This isn't the case. It definitely works.
If I'm driving at lower speeds and listening to 7, I typically turn it up to 8 or 9 at higher speeds. Looking on Reddit, most say they don't believe they have it, either.

They're wrong. I suspect this can be proven scientifically by placing a meter near the speaker, but I'm certain the car has speed-dependent volume. Depending on the road surface I'll notice it specifically when it gets louder, which means I don't think the interior headrest microphones are a factor, - just raw speed data.
I wish they'd double or triple the width of the gear selector and move it a bit to the right away from being hidden by steering wheel (round at least). It disappears when in drive anyway so don't see why that'd be an issue on such a large screen.

Not sure if it has been mentioned - would appreciate having one or more passenger seat memory settings, as well as the ability to control all of the passenger seat adjustment settings remotely by the driver (not just move forward/back like is now available). My 21' X5M had a passenger seat button that, once pressed, allowed the driver full control over the passenger seat using the driver seat controls. Heated/cooled cupholders would be a nice bonus.
