The blind spot thing is dumb. Distract the driver right when the driver should be looking out the window to check six. It's a fisheye and we aren't good at gauging closing speeds and distances on fisheyes, so what's it for? It's a blinkenlight. And, I suspect a hardware limitation somewhere in the system as well, it always takes a few beats to load those cameras from the camera launcher while driving. Has to be instant to be wroth a dang, (but it's not worth a dang anyway, for the foregoing reasons).
My bet is they know this and this is yet another early public guinea pig test for doing away with side mirrors to save costs. Of course, mirror cams are mature tech at this point but Tesla doesn't want to buy it from Bosch or Continental. If they can habituate people to looking *inside* the car to change lanes...they're all set to sell it as "safe" to the regulators instead of putting the displays out on the doors where other manufacturers with rearview cameras are doing. That's expensive, but they already have a giant screen in the car! Why add features when you can clutter your only interface instead
I wouldn't mind the ability to put the suspension screen at my fingertips but otherwise, I really like the software as currently constituted on my car (2021.44.6), it's the least buggy most stable least phantom brakey version so far. This update was pushed to me *this month*. But the cars aren't supported? Ok I guess that's a long time in dog years, and maybe because mine's newer I'm getting more support, but, yeesh. Tough crowd
Just gotta get used to only hearing trans siberian orchestra and only being able to fart at people from inside the car, instead of talk to them, which me and people outside both probably prefer honestly
Also, mine goes through a touchless wash just fine, this confuses me, are people using touch washes and having issues?
There's a lot to hate about Tesla but not getting the latest "let's see how much BS our fanboys are willing to tolerate and still order three cars a year" software isn't one of my gripes and I wouldn't expect the mostly old farts who own Model X and S to be in that category either but hey this is the abuse department so I guess I don't know what I expected ha
