About two years into my 2021 Model Y LR:
1. I STILL can't get rid of the visualization. It takes up the most visible part of the display, distracting me as I drive.
2. The autopilot software STLL can't even get the visualization right. Flickering, bouncing images of vehicles? That bus next to me is sliding back and forth even though we're both dead stopped. That pickup? It's a minivan. No! It's a sedan. No! It's a pickup.
3. The UI NOW HAS a bit of customization. The speedo STILL needs to be larger, for instance, but I cannot modify anything. But I can put favorites at the bottom. Lame!
4. I want to turn on my heated steering wheel. STILL have to go through HVAC controls. At least now I have multiple levels, I guess.
5. I have not had the car fail to open or start in ages. That's good.
6. The charge port is still a pain in the butt with anything but a Tesla charger.
7. The UI is STILL a total fustercluck. Confusing, tiny icons all over that are difficult to hit while driving. It's too bad that the S3XY buttons are so poorly integrated with the car's everchanging software.
8. The settings menus STILL have no discernable logic. I have to go through several items to find the settings I want.
9. The screen HAS NOT blinded me for no reason in ages. That's an improvement.
10. The auto-bright headlights STILL turn off when signs shine back at them, and STILL don't consistently notice the oncoming car.
11. Autopilot is STILL only good for relatively slow and sedate traffic on a closed highway, and it STILL gets me head bobbing too much.
12. The software FINALLY stopped switching to Tidal every time I start the car.
Tesla is STILL an awful software company, but they're less awful having softened some of their blunders. Here's to less awful!
People keep saying that Tesla is such a great software company, but their software is AWFUL. Bad words carefully avoided but thought loudly:
1. I can't get rid of the visualization. It takes up the most visible part of the display, distracting me as I drive.
2. The autopilot software can't even get the visualization right. Flickering, bouncing images of vehicles? That bus next to me is sliding back and forth even though we're both dead stopped. That pickup? It's a minivan. No! It's a sedan. No! It's a pickup.
3. The UI has no significant customization. The speedo needs to be larger, for instance, but I cannot modify anything. Elon knows best?
4. I want to turn on my heated steering wheel. Not under car settings. No way to hit a button directly on the main screen. Hitting the electric seats button doesn't do it. Nor does holding down on the seat button. Looked it up in the manual on built into the car, and it doesn't even list the feature. Finally searched on the internet and found a screenshot about the feature existing that shows it's in the HVAC screen. Click on HVAC. Look around. Find the button. I'm supposed to do this while driving? I no, I have to memorize where every single unintuitive and undocumented control is. That assumes the control actually exists.
5. The time the car wouldn't open for a few minutes. Then it opened but wouldn't start. Then it finally all turned on 10 minutes later.
6. The time the entire interior electronics were dead, including AC, speedo, and so on. But then they magically turned on 10 minutes later.
7. The charge port that doesn't want to let go, even though charging is done. No button to do it either. Gotta unplug the charger from the adapter then the adapter from the car. I love pointless extra steps. Yes, this is software.
8. Back to the UI: it's a total fustercluck. Tabs at the bottom with tiny icons. Tabs that have no discernable meaning (A circle with stars? Wut?) and then jumble a bunch of unrelated ideas together.
9. The settings menus have no discernable logic. I have to go through several items to find the settings I want, but only when they actually exist. And yes, sometimes I have to search up the location as I tire of searching through tabs.
10. Thanks, Mr. Screen, for blinding me at full brightness when I got in the car at 10:15PM last night.
11. The auto-bright headlights that turn off when signs shine back at them, but that don't notice the oncoming car.
