Agreed it will hurt Tesla sales of model S. I used to show off and tout the large Tesla screen at EV events and car shows... now I mumble stuff and try to steer the conversation away from the butt ugly screen. Leave it on cleaning mode - because it looks better that way. I used to pull up a big browser page, but the browser is busted dog slow and deadlike on V9 so skip that.
My wife and I show the Tesla's a lot, and we've agreed to use the Model 3 to show UI because it looks better there and makes more sense about interactions due to screen limitations... and the color is better there too for some reason, more saturated..
The "best feature" of my vintage S is now its insanely sized empty frunk... so hood up. I talk about the EV stuff and experience living with electric, travel, etc.. And the model 3 talks about all the tech, driver assist features, etc. I tell people to buy model 3 if they're into Tesla, "as the model S seems to be falling behind in tech". Even with the new motors. And I also say "buy what you see today if you like it, and don't buy any promises of what's to come in software - if you can't see it today assume it's not coming". This kisses a lot of Tesla profit away. But I'm being honest.
