Just got my v9 upgrade.
Where's the green lines on the traffic display gone?
Bunch of reasons this is a really backwards step:
I regularly travel on roads that can be queued in either direction, and have a number of alternate routes dependent on traffic conditions. Checking the relative position of the green and red lines would tell me which direction was slow at a glance, now I have to squint at endless shades of gray and some weird bits of pink color (on my beautiful big full color display) and zoom in/out ti work out which side of the road is slow.
Also if the road is blocked/closed, unfortunately we would never get an indicaiton like waze, but at least the green line would disappear to gray (indicating insufficient traffic data) and there would be a clue something was amiss and I would use the excellent Teslawaze to check) .
And now we have little indication if the traffic data display is not updated due to poor mobile reception, v8 and earlier we would get no green lines with no data, no we get no green lines at all. Patchy mobile reception is the norm around here.
We need to be able to glance at the screen and glean the necessary information, not have to stare at it trying to work out the situation whilst on the move..
I guess I'll get used to it, but for me this is one of the most negative steps taken in the UI evolution to date.
Elon/Tesla - please reconsider.
And whilst I am grumbling ...
Going back even further to v7; there used to be an extra view mode where you could reset the view to North orientation with a single press of the icon in the top corner, since v8 it just switches to direction of travel, meaning that if you pinch zoom and end up (almost inevitably) with some rotation also it is a pain to get the map back to proper North orientation.
Maybe it's just my OCD but I hate my map not the right way up. So Tesla, please fix this too.
