Exactly!Driving today, I compared the convex mirror with the video. I think the video is just as good, but I can't break the fifty-year habit of looking in the sideview mirror.

Oops. I think you might be correct.? Mine is opposite. If I tap the temp the big menu appears, if I tap the arrow the mini menu appears and changes temp.
Thanks! I am really hoping for some good common sense updates.For those not on Twitter: Elon just tweeted this... But I keep my expectations low...

Agreed. Actually I think most similar controls in the car should use a +/- as it's very difficult to use sliders while driving.- The +/- controls on fan speed are gone - it's just a slider, and those are tricky to manage while also driving (the +- was hard enough sometimes)
Focus group testing? surely you jestIt's still weird that their focus group testing didn't reveal the problems.
So for dash cam, if you set it to Auto you can then honk the horn to capture manually whenever you need. The tiny little icon has now been replaced by a great big one. All you do is click on the car icon right there by your right hand, you can't miss it...unlike the tiny previous icon. Then a screen comes up and there is a massive record button. Do that if you don't want to honk the horn. As you said, its just a matter of getting acquainted with it.Both my husband (MS) and I (Model 3) are now on V11 and neither of us are liking many of the changes. You really have to spend time finding and locating things as a lot has changed. Where it use to be easy to see TeslaCam and the SentryMode icons at the top of the display it's no longer there so controlling it is not as easy. Seems to us like a lot of basic functions have been made more difficult to locate and use.
Here's one thing I'll call out. As for TeslaCam's "1-hour buffer", I'm not quite sure what the software is now doing or what to expect it to do. I checked my dashcam footage today and saw there was not 1 hour of saved continuous coverage in the RecentClips folder when the car was On like previously. I had 1 minute of video recording on all 4 cameras at 11:00:47 today when we went to leave. Then the next set of recordings started at 12:01:27 and continued to 12:11:30 when we had returned home and I paused the recording and took out the USB device. However today when we left home we drove to a location, car was parked but husband (driver) stayed in it listening to radio while I ran out for an errand, we left that location and drove to the last location where the car was parked, I (passenger) remained inside and was listening to the radio, and we left that location and subsequently drove home. The 12:01 recordings started when we were departing that last location, so everything before that was not on the card. I don't understand why the 11:00:47 minute was there but nothing after and not until 12:01. Only 10 minutes were recorded. Is there now NO 1-hour buffer just a 10-minute Buffer recorded??? I thought having a 1-hour buffer was a great thing and in fact did go back and view things that had been recorded during that time on a few locations.
As for saving a 10-minute segment, from what I've read so far in the latest manual (software 2021.44) you can either set your car to do it Manually or Automatically (in an accident situation which maybe detected or when the airbags are deployed). You have to apparently choose one or the other. Manually lets you decide to save something you might have wanted to go back and look at (not necessarily an accident but road or surrounding information). However if you have it set to that and you do get in an accident and are unconscious, you won't be conscious to manually save the 10 minutes. If you didn't have the car set to Save on Honk or didn't get a chance to honk, footage would be lost as well. And it doesn't seem you would have that nice 1-hour buffer that you might have been able to go back to. To me these changes to TeslaCam have reduced it's usefullness. Kind of making me wish I could add a real dashcam to the car.
Anyway advice is spend a bunch of time getting reacquainted with the new software version before heading out. It's has some major changes for many daily things you would do and you don't want to be hunting for things when you should be driving.
Don't know, have never used it unless I am moving but I can't think why it wouldn't work. The good news is that if you aren't moving then hitting the car icon and then the huge record button will be no problem at all.I've done that in the past, but when I tried it in a parking lot today,it didn't work. Do you have to be moving??
It is interesting - I was thinking along the same lines and remembered the flames around the yoke. It seems that their UI philosophy is running ahead of their capabilities. The V11, the yoke, the lack of stokes, etc. would not be an issue if there is no driver. Unfortunately, they are super accurate when they classify the FSD as “beta”.AH yeah.. as someone said.. people leave brands over crap like this. Great tech and stupid menus. This was not an "improvement". An improvement would have been to hire some UX engineers and put some thought into the menus and how people use them. This is not a desk top computer.. I should not have to take my eyes off the road to go digging through submenus to find anything of importance. Then again, I am still a big believer in analog knobs for some controls. This complex of a meaning system should be user configurable to a degree. Something as simple as "here are 4 sizes and two locations for the speed". The lack of contrast on key data is appalling and I can tell its been designed by a 20 something and not someone with glasses and over 50.
Bump.I haven’t installed V11 yet… can someone confirm what’s the deal with the Homelink “cancel” button shown in the post quoted above?
E.g., It works, but is too small to reliably tap? Or it doesn’t work at all?
And others have mentioned that to access the Homelink buttons, it requires digging into the menu, which deactivates the rear camera display. Is that only the case when the auto-open feature doesn’t pop up automatically?
Agreed. I bet it's just gonna be four new shortcut icons you can add to the bar where three(defroster, rear defroster, seat heater) bring up the climate control screen and one(tire icon) brings you to the TPMS screen. Useless redundancy.For those not on Twitter: Elon just tweeted this... But I keep my expectations low...

They may come back. If you stand back, it's pretty clear what was going on with V11. Tesla were responding to issues raised by NEW customers who could not figure out the UI. Prior versions had some controls on the top of screen, some at the bottom, some on pop-up screens, some on the "cards" that you swiped. It wasn't obvious which of the icons along the top were buttons and which were just information. I imagine they had a gazillion new users asking where to find tire pressure .. and how to change wiper speeds etc. So the priority was to make the layout more logical for new users (forget RTFM, no-one does that any more).The puzzling thing about the icon placement for TeslaCam and Sentry is that they removed them from the top of the display and buried them elsewhere without using that space that had them before. So why move them? They were in a very logical, visually noticeable spot on the screen before.
Elon's direct cell phone number is 507-867-5309. Please don't give that out to anyone since Elon would be mad at me.Does anyone know the best way for contacting...Elon Musk directly?
I called it just now, but all I could hear was an annoying 80’s song for the hold music. I guess Elon was busy working.Elon's direct cell phone number is 507-867-5309. Please don't give that out to anyone since Elon would be mad at me.
Why not set the Homelink to open the garage automatically when you get home?I think your answers to the poll are too specific. None of the choices really captures my feelings about V.11. To me it is a mixed bag. There are some improvements, but some negatives as well. The blind spot video is really the only thing that makes this an improvement (in my opinion), however the execution is poor. When the video is on, it overrides the homelink button. So when I turn into my driveway with the turn signal on, I cannot press the homelink button until the video goes away on the screen. I guess I could just not signal. I have also heard that the side turn signal light floods the camera at night and the blind spot video is not very helpful. I have not yet tested this.
I can answer this. I, like many, were confused by the new Homelink behaviour since the homelink icon shows up in white when backing up but pressing it opens the full homelink menu and covers the cameras.Bump.
Can anyone answer the questions in the earlier post about the V11 Homelink button/display behaviors?
