Bug reports send literally nothing to Tesla. They store some data on your car for analysis by a service center if/when you take the car in and tell them explicitly to do so.

Why would Tesla reduce the size of the back up and side cameras? Maybe when you’re using your auto pilot you could have the option to make it bigger.
And some people are not getting the boombox because they don’t have the speaker outside why not offer the installation of the speaker to make some extra money

You might build a UI to have patterns that can accommodate your future roadmap, but those shouldn't sacrifice your in-market usability.
I think the UI is suffering from a very classic Tesla problem: they're too far out in front of themselves. The 3/Y is the physical manifestation of this. Its minimalist design was all based on the design principles of not having to pay attention to driving. Two taps to open glove box -- no big deal, the car is driving for you. Should we put in that $0.05 rain sensor for the wipers? Of course not, ML can do it! Tiny map? Who needs it, car's navigating for you.
They're building products with tech in mind that won't come for years. It's both what I love and hate about the brand. That type of dreaming really does spark hyper-innovation, but it can also cause you to make some ill-conceived choices through rose colored glasses.

I agree. Auto-park, rain-sensing wipers, auto-headlight…but you know I’ve also owned a lot of cars from quite a few brands and I see that in a lot of places. I’m probably a lot more forgiving of design choices having been in that spot of having a vision/roadmap and having to release it in stages.
Personally, I like these new changes. For me I feel like the UI is actually an improvement, except I would like to see the font used for the speed being larger.
For example before this update I was doing a quick test on my ability to see the current speed either in front of me (like in an S) vs to the right of me (like the 3). My eyes felt far less fatigue looking to the right than looking down. The new UI puts the speed a bit closer to the edge, so for me its actually easier. I also really love that the left side is big enough now to show nav directions when the main screen is covered - for example with cameras. I like driving with my camera view open, but I hated that it covered the map. Now I have what I want: Nav directions + camera view.
What I don’t like is the positioning of the (HOLD), speed limit sight, auto-pilot symbol, and TACC speed. I would re-order those. I also don’t like the monochrome battery. Also, the position of the battery now looks perfect to have both a % and range.
For me at least, the refinement I would like to see:

- Bigger current speed font
- Battery icon back to green
- % + Range
- Reorder the icons next to the current speed
- Option to change layout/size - as per Elon’s tweet.

It is embarrassing. These fonts are a joke and way too small.

No excuse though to reduce the font size used for the speed display.
Presumably there isn't anyone on the UI design team older than 35, right?
As far as the speed. If you don't know has fast your going then your too young to drive. 20 years of driving and I never once looked at my speedometer. Never got pulled over.

This is why even non-FSD features need to be beta tested.
I guess they think they can easily make such changes after GA ...

Oh, and there's no way to reset Solitaire. It got stuck on an impossible hand ;]
I think you're supposed to swipe up from the bottom to get to the menu, but that does not seem to work.

Submitting bug reports from your Tesla does not send a message to the mothership (can you imagine that inbox?). It captures a snapshot and a brief description of the problem (whatever you say to the system when submitting a bug report) and saves it in the car for the service center to review during your next visit.
Bugging Elon on Twitter is effective.
Tesla’s success is currently limited by Musk’s arrogance. He pushes for absolutely moronic changes to things like the UI without any design consideration from long running design experts from the auto industry. The white dash trim is an example of blatant idiocy because industry experts all called out how blinding that is in many light conditions, but Musk insisted. He’s surely responsible for the terrible accessibility problems this update introduces. It’s also a clear indication that Musk is beginning to hold the company back because he is clearly the one putting focus on adding stupid features like Boombox and further iterating on the childish Emissions Test bullshit. He has no self control to put actual experts in charge of UX changes.
I agree it has been rendered unreadable for several important features
I don't like it either. On the 3 it's like they made more unused space. The left side of the screen is just empty white screen with my car avatar 70% of the time. It's more useful to see the map and speed could be bigger.
The stopped in park graphic looks cool though.

Yah I don’t get it - plenty of room to bump up the P N R D and Speed

The font is too small for my old eyes.
I think the issue is: The cars are owned by those who are older who can afford a Tesla in their later in life and with poorer eye sights to read small fonts but the cars are made by young engineers who are mostly with excellent eyesight with no problem with small fonts.
There's a small arrow at the bottom. Touch that and it will bring up a small menu allowing you to start a new game, undo a move, change the game mode, etc.
