    We will just have to wait ‘till Elon’s eyes start losing near vision for that to be fixed. I expect those under 40 on here have no idea wtf we are winging about ...

    Never mind ‘Joe Mode”, we need a ‘Great Uncle Joe Mode’ that sacrifices the trendy white space for some bigger fonts and thicker lines.

    This is probably the point that REALLY needs to be emphasised to those who are designing and signing off on the UI. I'm becoming more and more convinced that there's no proper UI testing taking place actually in the car, or a simulation of it, especially for RHD drive cars.

    There's a world of difference between sitting at a desk looking straight at a screen, and sitting in the car, perhaps at night, or in low light levels, and trying to quickly get the information that's needed from a screen way off to the left of your normal eyeline, especially if the driver has some age related loss of accommodation/hypermetropia, or wears glasses, even varifocals optimised for driving.

    That’s right. The Model 3 screen is big but nothing like the 32” ones the kids are using to design the UI.

    summed up beautifully. Screen info should be ‘at a glance’ obvious. Focussing solely on the screen is an entirely different perspective.
    Hopefully, customisable screens will obviate ‘too much information’

    Perhaps they need to get Sandy Munro to drive a RHD Model 3 and advise them on how well the UI works. IIRC, he wears reading glasses, so should be an ideal candidate as a tester, especially given his experience with car design and manufacture.

    I forgot to add that briefly this morning, I used AP on a short stretch where the car usually runs closer to the kerb than I’d like even though earlier versions of 4.x had made it more central. This morning it drove where I would. So, chance of further improvement having taken place there.

    Mine had 2021.4.11 instantly available to install when I picked it up earlier. I updated it about an hour ago but haven't had a poke around yet.

    Mine installed 2021.4.11 today, went straight from 2020.48.35.5

    Just got back and regen is back to the way I remember it from months ago. Very much better than it has been for the past few months. Battery was fairly cool, too, the car was at 6°C and hadn't been driven for about two days, so I'm sure that regen would have been pretty non-existent in those conditions from before the update.

    Although the icons down the RH side have moved up, they are still mostly hidden behind my left hand when driving, as is the speed display. I had one "klaxons of doom" event, completely inexplicable this time. I was following a van, had been maintaining the same safe distance behind it for maybe a mile or two, when suddenly the van visualisation turned red and the brakes went hard on. As usual I wasn't using either AP or TACC, so this was most probably the collision avoidance system giving yet another false alarm. From that I'd guess that there haven't been any changes to that part of the software. The headlights don't seem to have gone out of adjustment again this time, either.

    Updated to 2021.4.11 last night. On a short drive today, the heater seemed to be blowing cold air, despite being set to 20 degrees and it being 3 degrees outside.
