Refresh Model S/X - Adjust the Following Distance

[jnericks]

I have a Model 3 and just took delivery of a refreshed Model X. Is it true that I can't adjust the following distance while using FSD by clicking the right thumb wheel left & right like I can in my Model 3? or am I missing something?

Yikes...doesn't look like you can...have to go deep into the menus. Gross!

Yeah don't know why this is the case, left/right on the right thumb stick does nothing as far as I can tell so not sure why it isn't used for that

This is very strange... perhaps the software is half baked and not complete. Doesn't seem very hard to implement either so not exactly sure this wasn't implement on the right scroll wheel left and right movements.

So easy to make on-the-fly adjustments to following distance with the Model 3 using right/left clicks of the scroll wheel.
With my refreshed Model X, I am less than impressed with having to dive into the screen to adjust.
It is a real step backward in UX.

the "new" UI we saw that was leaked probably wasn't ready, so they made this super half baked v11.

I just took a demo drive in a refreshed model S and was disappointed the right scroll wheel doesnt adjust cruise control following distance. An easy OTA software update could assign the button for that function. Do they assume I want the same following distance throughout my drive? Because I easily adjust my following distance several times depending on my speed in a single drive. Confused what reasoning they have for not carrying over this following distance function in the right scroll wheel.

My work around for this is the command "autopilot settings". The correct screen pops up and you change the following distance. This is less than ideal but at least you don't have to dig around in the settings menu to get to it. Since you are already in autopilot mode, the quick glance to the screen isn't horrible, but I wish they would just implement the scroll wheel function already.

I just got my car a week ago and was surprised this issue still exists. Thanks for the tip.
