Hoping for them they will eventually get refunds, like the early MS adopters paying for failing eMMC chips in their MCU1
I can dream, can't I?

2021 MS LR White/Black 21'
I have a 21 refresh with 8GB of RAM. After submitting a service request, I received a different type of response from others where they stated they are working on an upgrade for it which will be able to be requested from the mobile app.

I have determined that even with 16GB, Steam is glitchy, and requires rebooting the car after use, else vampire drain 1% per hour.
Has anybody had any positive experiences playing steam games yet?
I accepted delivery of my MS Plaid on Jan 31 2022, and it has the 16GB RAM.
Got the steam update, and tried installing Rocket League. Took ages to download it from steam (WAY longer than my normal computer does), and took 30-60 mins to actually start the game the first time (spent mostly doing something with processing shaders, whatever that means). But then the game just immediately kicks you out after the loading screen (video of what happens:
)
I haven't tried any other games yet, but this isn't a good first impression. Has anybody got any steam games working yet? which ones?

Perhaps the $350 1 tb drive available in February is tweaked / required to make things smoother…
Or not…
I’m so pumped to pay 2k for my car to have something I thought it had all along but didn’t and I’m so loving long load times and the fact it’s actually an emulated steam deck. Yep. I’m still doing it. I think we all might just be a little crazy. Idk what else to say.

For those having issues getting games to work, switch the game to proton (experimental).
Game settings (not overall steam settings), compatibility, force (something, can’t remember), then proton(experimental)
Sorry for the vague instructions, I’m on vacation and the car is parked at the airport, but this got all my games working, even older titles. The experience isn’t often great as mouse and keyboard isn’t well translated, but it works.

Counter Strike GO works OK, got Witcher to work slightly with much effort and and after switching to a mode for "Older PC's"
Function buttons work on the Sony Dual Sense controller sporadically, important ones like you need to fight or select a target.
Load times are very long. Anything over 70gb won't load, so you have to uninstall Witcher to run something else.

Try a double button reset. If that doesn’t work, then join the pity train like the rest of us early adopters.

May, 2022 S here. Just played around with Steam for the first time, on 2022.44.30.5.
Some good things:
1.) Steam! In your car!
2.) Steam!!!!
3.) It's clearly gotten a lot of help from the Steam Deck, so in general if it works on the Deck, it'll work in the car, albeit with more power. It's interesting that frame-rate killers are similar between the car and the Steam Deck, e.g. Ys III - the lens flare graphics option dips frame-rates well below 60, - both on the Deck and on the much more powerful S setup.
And the bad things:
1.) Input latency is really not great. Either using my Series X controller via adapter or via a PS5 controller via direct BT, it's not ideal, probably in the ~75ms region. It's really noticeable compared to Steam Deck. You're not going to be playing competitively in the car, so don't think about it.
2.) I've noticed the car is no longer sleeping since this update. Hopefully that is resolved soon with a further update.
3.) You can't adjust screen brightness or anything when in Steam. You have to fully quit the whole game and Steam app to make any changes.
Overall, so far, it's a good start. Input latency is, though, the biggest disappointment.

So, I'm not the only one....I have noticed it's not with all Steam games, and can be fixed with a reboot.

Oh, you, too? I did reboot the car, but then had opened Steam up again and messed around in there, and then it didn’t sleep again. I just rebooted the car again, and left it - not touching Steam etc, so hopefully it will sleep now. That means I’ll want to reboot the car any time I’ve used Steam, until this is fixed. Sigh.
First things first for me - let’s hope the car goes to sleep now! Just waiting…

Yep, went to sleep! So confirmed Steam bug.
Anyone gotten the latest Xbox controllers to pair via BT?
