Well you just found value for the games!
I'll pass on this update. At least until they deploy something of value.

The Human Factors group needs to Google "Implicit Memory"...
Implicit memory - Wikipedia
It's not good to instantly move stuff around on a UI. They, at the very least, need to allow users the option of retaining the "classic" display so they can phase in getting used to the changes.

This was NOT a Christmas present at all - hardly anything new/good for my 2016 MS w/FSD (bought 12/2016) and the font just plain sucks for older people. Wish I could go back. They do need a way to allow people to pick the size if this is what they think is 'better'. Very disappointed in what was rolled out / not rolled out (e.g. the promised FSD from a year ago).

I think the situation is hopeless because it's clear the UI thing is the hands of people that doesn't have a clue.
I think it's inevitable that the only way to get some proper basic screen it's an aftermarket side screen:

I'm very disappointed with this update. I can see the road fine, but not up close without reading glasses. So the speed is now too small, and I can't see it. Also, the smaller back up cam window is awful. Why? Please fix this!
Anyway,
As far as i'm concerned; i've opened a formal ticket in the app, asking for a rollback ; to bother them as much as they bother me.
I suggest we all do. Nothing will happen if we just rant here .

I don't have the sight problems and I can live with the new layout but it's just not an efficient use of space.
It is just empty white space and some jittery lines 70% of the time. Maybe you can look at a jittery flashing truck next to you. It may flash into a car then truck then car then disappear lol. You guys know what I am talking about. It was fine at it's previous size.

All of us are getting older, I just turned an onary 76 years young. Someday all of youse guys will be there, even Elon. Then you will see what it is like as your vision and hearing deteriorate. I have new $5K hearing aids, and new glasses but Elon keeps making the font smaller and smaller. I can hardly hear and see the turn signal indicator in all that wasted space. Come on people we are not 20 something anymore.

I have complained and tweeted about the need to be able to increase the font size, so far without any luck or response. Those designing the user interface are likely younger and likely have much better vision than older Tesla drivers, like myself. My guess is that at some point Elon will have a hard time reading the time, or range due to deteriorating vision due to age and...the issue will be immediately fixed! This should be a very simple fix and very useful for many Tesla drivers.
I agree with the negative criticism of this update. The UI at the top of the driving panel looks incomplete. The monochrome look of the lower panel is difficult to quickly read while driving. Navigation directions are even further away now. This is definitely amateur hour for the human factors team.

I too think the font size is too small.
Was wondering though is this in preparation for FSD?

well, here come the accidents because people are trying to read the information.....this change is sending my blood pressure sky high.....for us older people this car was a great thing.....not oo many younger people can afford it, but they are the one's trying to design it.....what a cluster xxxx....
Probably the best spin you can put on it.
But given the state of FSD many may never have any inclination to even try it. And pre HW3 cars aren't really in the game any way, so they really have no need of squashing more onto the displays.
To me, there really was no need to change font sizes at least on the S / X instrument cluster. The 'new' layout has no benefits for me as it stands. Even with FSD I still need a minimum text / icon size to avoid having to squint.
Night view of small text & graphics can be really difficult.
I tried this, but it wants to send a service rep to my address.
I have a Model 3. The driving visualization has been ruined. Fonts way too small, and lots of white space. They have done this to accommodate for HW3.0 visualization (stop signs etc.). If you have 2.5 then the white space looks ridiculous. Major screw-up on their part.

I'm old and it's very difficult to read the new font.
I agree, we need to be able to adjust the font size, just like we can on a computer - not getting any younger and can not wait for their developmental staff to get any older!
