That is definitely not true. Have you taken a poll? I keep maps up every day. I navigate to home and work every day because traffic affects which way i go to get to home or work. Its different most days. Also when i am out driving without navigating, i want to see traffic speeds as i dart around to do errands and such.
Please don’t interpret that I think you are unjustified for your complaint.
Just the extremes of the complaints is what I have issue with.
If just ONE child is saved from death by restoring the rear camera display to the TOP of the screen while in REVERSE, then all the complaining and lawyers fighting over this change of human factors design will be worth the effort.
Sounds like many people do. I am one of them. The limited ciew caused by the middle headrest makes it convenient to use the camera also.I am a bit puzzled, what’s the fascination with what’s behind you? I don’t think I have ever put my rear camera on the screen other than to show people you can have the rear camera in the screen.
I get why people are annoyed about now being able to place whatever you want whereever you want like v9 I am just interested to know why people have the rear view camera in all the time?
I think I’ll go to a showroom on my next day off and see for myself if this “update” sucks or not, before I decide to install it.
I just spoke with Tesla -- they are taking names and if enough people request it, they will provide a rollback to v. 8 of the software. That, IMO, is not the best response to a crappy update but it's better than nothing.Many of us use this layout; camera on all the time, and media player (or energy app) on, no map needed.
Messages from Tesla indicate that they are breaking this in "version 9" of the software by forcing the map to cover half the screen and only allowing one other app to be up at a time.
This is a petition from Tesla Model S owners.
Tesla: Don't make this change -- it constitutes damage to our cars, by removing valuable functionality. We demand that Tesla retain the ability to have the camera and media player apps up simultaneously, and we request that they maintain this in future versions of the software. If you do not retain this functionality, we demand permanent warranty support for cars running the older (full-functionality) version of the software.
Anyone who agrees, please add your name and whatever other identifiying information might be useful. We can also discuss how best to send this message to Tesla (who are notoriously poor at listenting to customers).

I just spoke with Tesla -- they are taking names and if enough people request it, they will provide a rollback to v. 8 of the software. That, IMO, is not the best response to a crappy update but it's better than nothing.I always have the camera on top and something else on the bottom. I rarely use the map. I agree that Tesla should fix this fix!
I can't understand why Tesla thinks sticking the camera only at the bottom (and only if the Media, Calendar, etc. aren't showing) is somehow an improvement.
Everyone should write to [email protected] and complain about this awful interface change.
Put it in another way: V9 causes User Interface inflexibility and it restricts users from the freedom to choose where they want 2 apps currently are in pre-V9.
The first restriction is the map covers the whole screen: You can't place it on the bottom.
The second restriction is you can't mix and match any 2 apps you want as long as the first app is always the mandatory whole-screen map:
You can place an additional app to the mandatory whole-screen map to partially cover the bottom but users cannot place 2 different other apps on at the same time and in any bottom/top combination that you want for example:
No Rearview Camera and Web browser at the same time.
No Rearview Camera and Energy Consumption at the same time.
No Web browser and Energy Consumption at the same time...
This kind of user interface restrictions is very frustrating.
I could understand why this kind of interface restriction on a less area of a Model 3 15" horizontal display.
But we are talking about a more spacious 17" vertical display.
There is no justification in abandoning the more liberal user freedom in a more expensive and more spacious Model S, X and future 2020 Roadster.
My SC just said they can't push older versions after a new version is available...bologna!
