AFAIK the shift thing does not exist on anything but the new refreshed S right now- it's not there for 3/Y at least on V11
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.

For me, the dash cam shortcut doesn’t activate the recorder. It only brings up the player even when I am moving. I have to click on Car and go into the Controls menu and tap the Sentry button in that menu.That button can be added back to the quick launch bar at the bottom as mentioned yesterday in the thread.
Really they could fix just about everything wrong with it by adding a few more things as "pinnable" to that bar by the user that aren't options right now... (one tap defrost for me personaly, but for others it might be wiper controls, or seat heaters or whatever)

The red dot is there on the shortcut icon, what I meant to say is that it won’t trigger a recording if you press the icon. I maybe mistaking, but it does appear the only way to manually trigger a dash cam recording without honking is by touching the sentry button in the controls menu. I will be very happy if that’s not the case and an easier shortcut is available.Hrm, I'll have to check that when I run out later today- I saw the shortcut had the red dot showing so possibly it was just me (wrongly) assuming it was showing that it was recording...
That said, dashcam and sentry are 2 entirely different features. Sentry doesn't record anything, only dashcam does. Only thing sentry does related to video is move the previous 10 minutes of existing dashcam video (if dashcam was recording) to the sentry folder.
I agreed with most of your post but I had to laugh at the above quote. Last year's Christmas "lump of coal" created as many complaints as this year. They shrunk the map to increase the useless white space on the left. They made the fonts smaller and used various shades of grey that are hard to read, etc. Elon responded by tweeting that in the future, the display could be customized by the users. There was much hope that this year's update would allow us to adjust font size, or reduce the white space on the left, or even go back to a "classic" layout but none of that happened. I'm sure none of our complaints will be addressed next year, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.I'm ONLY comforted by the fact that many of us have the same issues with this interface right from go. That gives me hope that there could be swift changes coming to this.
Tesla did not listen last year, I doubt they will listen this year.I wish I had spent a little bit more time with the interface before creating a poll but I have to agree with most of the criticisms. It looks like they made a rushed attempt to allow customization without much thought and without adequate beta testing about how certain items would now be very difficult to access easily despite the options for customizing menus at the screen bottom. It's bizarre that they made it hard to access the most routine functionality. They have made it easier to get to your phone menu in one icon press but they made a lot of other things a whole lot harder. I do hope and expect the Tesla will listen to the feedback and issue an update that corrects some of the more grotesque and counterintuitive bits of nonsense. And while they're at it maybe they can update the fonts and icons to something less clunky.
Absolutely. It is maddening that they removed some functions from the main display (seat warmers, driver profiles, tire pressure, trip odometers), gave us the option to customize the display, BUT we cannot put those functions back in the customizable space!User interface designers should have to swear to an oath like doctors’ ”Do no harm” oath. Something like “Do no harm to functionality.”
100% agreedMy option is not there..."I like some of the additions and the look, but hate the loss of controls/information needed while driving"
Unfortunately that would require buying a used M3 that hadn't been updated yet. The cards are gone in v11. The trip info is in the new "trips" menu after you press the car icon on the bottom left. All the same info is there, but it will cover the entire map when open. Tire pressures can be found under the "service" menu.How do I get back the trip info card (kept this open most of the time) and tire pressure card?
What a joke. I feel like this interface change was all focused on entertainment. It's like actual driving functionality (features needed to operate the vehicle) were considered a secondary item in the display. How is that kind of design approved? I can tolerate some things (left display with poorer font/text, the audio bar now taking up more space on the right (rather than a small bar it's now double sized), but I don't like digging through the menu to find driving essentials while driving.Unfortunately that would require buying a used M3 that hadn't been updated yet.
