All great points. I think some people just don’t care. Admittedly I’m in that group. I think a lot of the changes are stupid, but once I figured where they “moved my cheese” to, it doesn’t bother me any longer.I consider myself a tech enthusiast, and I love the actual improvements in V11 to my Tesla such as blind spot camera, live camera view for sentry.. Heck, I even enjoyed the light show and tinkered with making my own. I mean, when I got my car sentry mode didn't exist yet. Autopilot seems a little better, wipers are still flaky sometimes.
But there are simple tenets of good UI design that were completely disregarded in V11 for a vehicle. Things that were there in V10.
Who doesn't want to see their connectivity? Who wants to press twice for something they use all the time? Who wants mysterious icons that exist nowhere else? Who wants a large panel to block up the entire screen every time you go to change a setting?
I just don't get it. What the hell are they doing with all the user data? Can't they see what we use? Unreal.
Of course if I was a UI designer, it would likely drive me nuts having to deal with the poorly designed interface.
And I get the argument that some people think it’s a safety issue that some of the functions are now two clicks instead of one. But to me it just doesn’t affect my ability to drive. But still, agreed that the changes make no sense.
