Switching to another sound source - eg play a Spotify track - then switching back to radio usually fixes that.

Yes - or pressing the "pause" then "play" buttons. One of the numerous bugs in Tesla's systems.
DAB came back on by itself on the next drive as I thought it might, so all good.
However the AC didn’t seem as ‘vigorous’ when I turned it on today in Auto. The cabin was a bit warm and humid, and it took a quite a few minutes before I started to feel any effect. This seems quite different to how it used to behave. Anyone else experience this under recent updates?
Every update I do the aircon is reset to what a tesla engineer thinks I should have, including the cooling side off.

I suspect that Tesla engineer is enjoying the northern hemisphere winter and thinks heating should be on, not cooling at current stage. After last update I had to dial my AC down by 2 taps also before it started behaving my usual nice cool.

I wouldn’t go as far as that, but I don’t get the instant coolth that I’m used to in other cars, and never have. We find the bio filter setting cools us off better purely because of the strength of the fan over us.

I was driving past Lake George (which actually has water in it!) heading back to Canberra at dusk recently. The bugs loved my headlights at that time, and my windscreen wipers thought the bugs hitting the screen was heavy rain and went crazy. It took some serious high-pressure hosing to remove the bug cemetary the next day, because they were smeared across - quite disturbing. Is it a software fault if it can't determine between water and bugs? (Yes, this is a joke)

Yes. There are far too many things that are there just because they can be done, not because they are required.
The UI - Model S vertical - is an abortion of a user experience, requiring in some case multiple presses to even FIND something that you haven't used for some time, things missing that are important etc etc. It wouldn't pass a year ten basic programming exam.
And all this when you are driving, for god's sake!
I always leave the aircon on when not in the car (in summer and not at home). The aircon is then very effective when in the car as its not trying to remove excess heat. Its a fantastic feature.

I usually turn the AC on from phone app, when I start walking to my car. Within a minute it usually shows phone alert that car cabin temperature is at desired level and when I get to the car its comfortable level, but if the sun shining on the car, seats are still rather hot and for the cooling to be as cold as it was before the last update I have dropped the temp on the driver side by 1c (2 taps). That has made it mostly pleasant for me.

Yeah, that's what I did after a few swipes, but it was already a mess. But it's an EV - I could just hang a bug zapper on the front? Hmm...
It's a Telsa. It comes supplied with bugs.
I went to a fair bit of effort to enter my ToU rateplan into the App - 3 seasons, different time periods weekdays/weekends etc. Which is a bit OTT since I don’t plan to use Time-Based Control anyway - I just leave it in self-consumption mode all the time now
But seriously, 3 seasons? WTF? Needs to be 4. My rate plan notionally has 3 “seasons” (Summer, Winter, and neither) but “neither” is split into two separate 2-month periods between Summer and Winter and between Winter and Summer. Which the App does not allow you to do.
My PW2 is still stuck on 1.47.0.
Some more thoughts after more drives:
- The single tap on the Car icon (bottom right) to bring up all the main vehicle controls on one screen (without the need for further menu selection or scrolling) is not too bad. I could warm to it as a reasonable way of accessing the most commonly needed controls. Tap on the car icon again to make it disappear.
- Artwork for USB stored music has disappeared. Again. And the placeholder for it is even smaller than before.
- The play progress bar is now a thin line along the bottom of the media section of the screen and remaining time no longer showing. Me no like.
Actually they added a nice feature and then broke it in a subsequent update and it is still "broken".
You can set up Utility Rate Plan, enter all the rates, etc. and save it. You used to be able to then edit that quite easily.
Now, if you go to edit it, you have to go through the whole process again! Sure it remembers your previous values, but you have to select everything all over again: Custom Rate Plan vs Fixed Rate Plan; Name of the Custom Rate Plan; Season/Month vs Time of Use vs None of the Above; Time of Use for each time period for Weekdays, and the same for Weekends, then the rates.
Typical UI crap we get from Tesla!
I play over Bluetooth from my phone. I only get the progress bar IF the track being played has associated album artwork on my phone. If there's no artwork for that track on the phone, something gets displayed from the web, but I lose the progress bar!
