Dark mode is positively dangerous when used on bright, sunny days!Who doesn't use permanent dark mode on their phone and car screens these days anyway?!
Why? I use dark mode all the time and it's perfectly readable.Dark mode is positively dangerous when used on bright, sunny days!
No it's not.Dark mode is positively dangerous when used on bright, sunny days!
I tried it for about 5 minutes but all the finger marks on the screen reflected the light and looked terrible. Not saying its not useable but it looked horribleWhy? I use dark mode all the time and it's perfectly readable.
It was an obvious (I thought) joke at how frequently the headlights will toggle on and off in normal driving, with tree cover, etc meaning the screen would flash constantly between light and dark mode. It wasn't meant to be taken literally.Cars are already un-drivable by anyone with epilepsy so not sure what your point is. Light flickering from between tree branches is far more of a trigger than the headlights flashing on and off.
Yep but not critical eg at startuo. Which is the whole point. When screen starts it does not *have* to do a time sync for it to know the time. It can know that from the rtc which thankfully allows the car to know what time it when there is no network connection such as in a basement car park.
Can the transition time can be customised?
I think I get 'dark mode' at 7 pm, and don't know when it get reversed back to 'day mode'.
I wonder if the 'dark mode' follows the seasons, since nights are longer in winter than in the summer.
Also does it self-adjusts to the sunset and sunrise times depending of the latitude of your area.

The Brightness level is adjustable....I prefer it bright during the day...but those in Britain who are north of the ice wall could tone it down if they wantCome drive in Arizona or Southern California and try Dark Mode. Things are screen are literally not visible in that situation. I'm guessing the brightness might be a tad more than the northern latitudes.
Wow, I thought this was a thread about highland, but last 3 pages is just petty arguments about dark mode.
Are we all ok?
We're fine, probably all bored waiting on more details for Highland (is there a P version, when will it come to our respective countries, etc. etc.).
I'm told by Tesla sales that you can order a Highland now and be put on a list. Essentially you order a regular M3 off the website and give them the RN number to go on the list. Configuration of a highland is supposed to be possible Jan - Mar 2024 with delivery Apr to June to UK. Apparently the new colours will be available when they allow you to configure. Current boat load of M3's on way from China will be the last of the current generation. No news on whether the Performance will be available at configuration time.
It following the sunset and sunrise times for you latitude and longitude is what I have gathered. Part of the hand shake with the cell phone sensors is to get a validation of the time and location (it's a location "verify" to what GPS gives, which can also take some time to sync up properly - you will notice this if you have ever left your car off for a few days then got in and the GPS doesn't move on the screen for a minute or two).
Yes, the computer use an NTP server ping in order to get "local time" from a cell phone tower. If you have poor cell reception, it will stay in it's current config until it gets that, or establishes a WiFi connection.
What? It doesn’t have a real time clock??
It does, but like most Linux based systems it does an NTP time sync multiple times per day.

But it's not startup, it's a "resume", and yes it does do an NTP sync when it regains access to network.
Raise your hand if you have had root access to more than one Tesla.
/me raises hand.
This whole thread...Wow, I thought this was a thread about highland, but last 3 pages is just petty arguments about dark mode.

Will remember to run all future criticism past the arbiters for Tesla criticism in futureThis whole thread...
It should be called "So... who wants to come to the highland-road and crap down on anything and everything Tesla".
Criticism is important. Delusional moaning not so much.
note to self: Next time I get in the car at night, am blinded by the dash and swear under my breath - remember, while you think it'd be a simple fix to an annoying problem, its just delusional moaning.
The engineers are busy pretending to make FSD which is why they keep removing hardware because you won't need it 'eventually', and the computer doesn't need the wipers to work or the internal lighting to consider external factors, or anythign like that. Its just putting up with you until its time for the revolution.
