Love how people disagree with this post. I wonder which part they found offensive to their sensibilities.

Underwhelmed by holiday update

As the comments note- for older cars it'd be a LOT of work (like replace the wiring harness and make a new hole in the firewall lot of work).... that's almost 100% for sure never happening at a service center.
I suppose for the very-near-the-cut-off-date folks who only are missing the speaker they might offer them the option to add it.

They disagree with what you listed. Also all those things were implemented very badly in this update, except the available stalls. It already showed that in the past but you had to select the supercharger overlay.
I think it showed when you were in navigation, I know I was watching it in real time as I was approaching a supercharger on my trip.
Oh, wow, talk about overhyping what amounts to a non-personalized holiday greeting: "a very special surprise"

When my app asked permission to install 48.26 a couple days ago, I yawned and figured it was just bug fixes to 48.12.1 that we already had. So I was surprised this morning by the very revised UI. Overall, I think I like it.
Plusses:
Plusses:
- In the visualization area, moving things more compactly to the top to make more room for visualization.
- Animated opening and closing of doors and trunk.
- At a traffic light stop, the lights are more visible since they aren't getting overlaid by the speedometer and such.
- Better organization and access to release notes.
- The visualization area is wider now, meaning less room for the map. I wish I could drag the boundary, sizing the panes to my preference.
I haven't driven with it yet, but I noticed it seemed wider leaving less room for browser, map etc. hopefully they will fix that in future release, size was just fine before.

going straight to the BMW dealership tomorrow to trade in my model 3. That BMW really knows cars!
Has anyone mentioned how small the elements are in the cluster? I can barely read speed, time, battery charge. It’s ridiculous and disappointing. The wider screen car visualization is a plus but at what cost! I’m a fan of the prior cluster arrangement.
I have a feeling I will be too after I drive today. I thought the old layout was fine.

I agree I don’t like my camera view shoved more to the left. Although I do like the new look and feel of the visualizations they need to fix the color of the blue car. My model 3 looks like it’s a electric blue color. It’s funny if you go to vehicle information the model 3 is the correct blue and the visualization is the electric blue. Wouldn’t mind being able to change my aero wheel hub caps to the rims behind for nicer looks. Petty requests but would make me happy since I missed out on boom box with my 2018 model
All,
I have major concerns about the most recent Tesla vehicle update (the "Holiday Update").
This update changed fundamental decisions about how and where to present critical information, such as the *speedometer* and gear that the vehicle is in, and in ways that are baffling and potentially dangerous.
The speedometer, for example, is arguably the most important, most-used indicator while driving. It was formerly in a nice large font and centered separately from other indicators for clear, quick viewing. Now, it's in a messy row with other similarly-sized indicators all sort of lumped together. The "gear" font (e.g., R, D, N, P) is now smaller, and the new location makes it much more likely to be obscured by the steering wheel for many drivers (something many are also posting in the Tesla Forums themselves on Tesla's website).
It's just a god-awful mess. This would be like buying a car with a physical speedometer and determining you like the location, then having the manufacturer come by your house and forcibly remove the speedometer without asking you and replacing it with a smaller one in some new location next to a bunch of other stuff.
Moreover, I don't *want* more space on the left for full-self driving visualization. I *much* prefer having more space for nice large navigation maps and infotainment display on the right.
I sincerely hope Tesla undoes this dangerous, ill-advised decision, or at least give drivers the option to put the display of critical driving information back the way it was.
I'd encourage anyone who agrees to contact Tesla and express a similar concern. You can try reaching them in various ways (always a "luck of the draw" process, with Tesla) at:

....and any other car you own or have owned, how Overwhelming was that holiday update?
so we are just willing to lower the bar? This is just regular software development (not talking about FSD, just the system user interface and apps). Too many apologists in here giving a pass to Musk constantly missing timelines which are at a point of being lies to investors
