Tesla Update 2021.44.25.2 Issues
- Thread starter Glamisduner
- Start date
No, nothing has changed, I still have the old interface, with full functionality as before the failed update.
I agree with most of the above comments. Owned our M3 for 3.5 years and this is the worst update yet. In addition to the prior comments:
- I like to track the Wh/mile number as I drive - now I lose the map if I want to do that.
- My wife likes to just be able to touch the seat icon to turn on her seat heater.
- I like to have an icon for windshield and rear window defrost.
- Unsafe since my older eyes require me to take my eyes off the road more often.
- Quick sweep to see tire pressure readings is a lot easier.
- PLUS - my UI died on me! I use the pin-to-drive feature so the only way to start the car is to use the app Start feature since I can't access the pin pad. And that only works once every 6 to 8 attempts. The car is now in the Service Center and the tech has no idea what is wrong. I assume the release has a bug somewhere??
The only feature that I like is the blind spot video and that would be better placed if higher on the screen. Where was the UI quality lead when this release went through alpha test?

So the problem seems to be that, when I pull into my driveway I have to get out to open the gate. When I get back into the car the seatbelt warning overlays on top of the new homelink display location so I can't operate the homelink from there nor did I even see it was available fromt his new location. I don't typically buckle in when driving about 30-40 feet in my own driveway. So now I either have to buckle back in to operate the homelink, or go into a second menu (the new control screen) to operate it.
Still need to re-produce the battery drain issue.
It's a little comical because this was my critisism of like 95% of touch UI's out there and why I beleive people hate touch screen while driving (and rightfully so). I always told them Tesla does this differently. Guess that is no longer true.
I don't think that is the homelink screen at the top, it's just the controls shortcut. I thought the same thing though!
I love having Tidal button on the screen. I don't have to push the music (eighth note icon) button and then push the Tidal button; it's a shortcut.
People were complaining about the lack of colors in the screen, Everything was grey and light grey. Shows that you can't make anyone happy.
The removal of defrost button (on my vertical screen) is a critical change and dangerous (imo). I was out driving in minus 17 celsius (1,4 f) when my windscreen fogged completely in seconds. Not fun trying to find the "double tap" defroster in 70 km/h 2 menues down. This NEEDS to be changed!
Yep. No offense to Tesla but there IS a reason all this stuff is just a single button push away in *all* other cars.
You must have missed my last response. I have to get out of my car to open the gate. When I get back in I don't buckle back up to pull the rest of the way into my driveway. The seatbelt warning blocks the homelink button completly, so I had no idea it was ever even there. So Basically i have to buckle in to drive about 30 feet or access homelink from the controls screen, or wait until parked. Accessing from the controls screen is easier, but still annoying. I prefer the old location better because it does not get blocked by warning messages. Accessing from the controls screen or parking the car to access still both require stopping the car though.
My complaints from the legacy car side are minor:
Need the slider for the music player to be bigger and more responsive. Itās inconsistent right now.
The directions when navigating should be a shade or two more opaque. The moving map underneath makes it difficult to read the smallish print.
The backup cam sometimes fails to activate when shifting to reverse.
Other than that, Iām not hating it. Most everything else is where is should be or repositioned closer to the driver. I understand the layouts on the horizontal screens are slightly different.

General question... before this last upgrade (and I have since turned advance off), in the upper right area of the display, there was a little camera and a security symbol to turn sentry on and off. I used to be able to touch the camera to turn off the camera to remove the thumb drive (without losing footage), view footage and save footage. The camera has since gone away. I know you can touch a new icon to turn the viewer on to view footage, but I'm not seeing any place to turn the camera off so I can remove the thumb drive. Under the general controls there are two controls, one for the sentry and the other for the camera, I don't see that the camera control operates like the old camera control. The camera is greyed out and no matter how may times I touch it or hold my finger on it, nothing seems to happen and it does not light up like the old camera icon. From the new icon, I can view recent footage and using the USB icon, I can see all my music. The sentry, on the other hand, turns on and off as it should when I touch it. Am I missing something here?
According to the current on line manual, the controls should be identical to the old controls, but I'm not seeing those controls.

I agree it's awful!! I would like to reverse it. Is there such a thing?
Maybe itās me, but I canāt figure out an easy way to connect my iPhone in V 11. I can go to radio and then click on something at the top and then sometimes I find iPhone. Also, you canāt swipe down the screen and have it stop and show just the controls and what youāre playing. It disappears completely. Didnāt anybody sit in a vehicle and test the stuff before they sent it out?
