So that I have to pull over every 5 minutes and get out in the cold and rain and clean the sensors if I want EAP to be of any use to me? Or even if I just want working blind spot monitoring?

Oh My Word!!!
Really? The camera is a half-inch lower than it used to be, and that's not enough? Tesla actually LISTENED to their customers and made this change... but it's STILL not enough! Here's my opinion (remember all... this is just an opinion, which is what the OP asked for... so steady yourselves
):I liked 39.6. I LOVE 42.2! The few things that were 'iffy' on 39.6 were (at least for me) fixed on this newest release. I.E., the glitchy vehicle renderings (jumping all over the screen, including morphing into my own vehicle) are MUCH better!
In 39.6, I noted that the car seemed to 'hunt' in the lane on AP... slight back-and-forth within the lane... and now it's rock solid. Nice.
NoA is really cool... but I admittedly haven't maximized it's ability. Only used it so far to drive local with no expressway/expressway interchanges.
I do like the changes to the screen (ability to have the camera on top - which is not a biggie for me anyhoo)... and it's cool to be able to have 3 things going at once (music/camera/map).
Overall... I love the changes! Perfect? Matter of opinion. Probably not quite yet... but it's a great move toward the positive!

Or I will sell you some really tiny battery operated camera wipers for a modest price of $8,000 each
It won't. And there are plenty of checkboxes to check before 6 exit roundabouts with 3 lanes. Such as handling roundabouts at all. They gotta do it one step at a time, no need to go straight to the hardest problems.

Well, I don't think roundabouts were ever on the to do list for EAP. Roudabouts sound like a FSD thing, not a EAP thing, at least to me.

How does EAP handle the jerk behind you that speeds up and cuts you out of the lane change at the last minute? Has Elon manufactured an autonomous hand that pops out with middle finger appropriately extended?
Going on road trip tomorrow.
Cannot be safe driving on 39.6!
Gotta have 42!
Hear me, O Great Tesla Server in the Cloud!
As I have said many times before, just make sure all of the air valves on your wheels are pointing towards Fremont tonight, hold your key fob above your head (in your left hand, of course), click your heels three times and stay “There’s no man like Musk” and repeat five times. The update will magically appear by tomorrow......
Well I wasn't complaining about it, but coaxing it with throttle works for overtaking when it is trying to slow down and find an opening for a lane change.

I at last got 2018.42.2 today and have just got back from 60 mile drive testing it out. It is awesome - I can’t think of anything which I find inferior to previous version the way I use it. I do like that I can have map at top, then camera in middle and media player at bottom. Those are the three things I use while driving, so great to have all up together - so for me an improvement to the split screen.
Of course no Drive of Autopilot in UK, but the improved dash display is good, seeing vehicles in blind spot and good to see the Autopilot lane change is quicker. Before it was too slow with me often having to manually take over as Autopilot was too slow to move into gap in traffic.
The new URL seems pretty easy to navigate, but one thing I could not make out was what the traffic light in the media player does? Nothing happened when I pushed. Anyone know?

I've Tried Several Roundabouts before 42.2 & they were also a no-go... but like someone else said, that is probably FSD not EAP.
Yes I Coax mine with the Accelerator all the time cause it just takes off too slow... You can do this during NoA as much as you want.
I've had nothing but Success with it on my Drives so far. Takes Exits like a champ. Merging is a little Nerve-racking if it is an Aggressive Merge as you need to Confirm right now, if you do not Confirm well then that is just Operator Error for how this System Works at the Moment...
I too Predicted FSD would Never Happen, Actually owning a Model S as of May this Year and using EAP has made me think it could be possible...
We will see once it needs to find Stop Signs Blocked by a Conveniently Parked Truck, etc.. etc..

Still waiting (impatiently) for the latest firmware update for our 2015 Tesla S (AP 1).
Will we be able to utilize Drive to NAV on our car when it does not have the extra cameras? Would appreciate feedback from AP1 owners.

Can you imagine Blader as dad?
His kid finally learns to crawl, and instead of appreciating the moment he instead goes on and on about the gulf between crawling and running.
Yes. One is the ability to have multiple apps up at the same time. Which applies to all S&X cars.
No to mention that only a small percentage of people had even got V9, so this could be the first time they get the new interface, TeslAtari, bug fixes, etc...

I know it has been seen before, but Mad Max still cracks me up!
