I'm really looking forwards to this. Text size option, search through controls, POI info, controls on the left scroll wheel, more precision in the charge limit slider (so we don't have to use the phone for that), ... Even British English voice recognition option, which really shows they're hearing feedback.
Hopefully the scroll wheel customization does or will include: wiper speed, fan speed, headlights, fog lights, and regen level.
I think they will, but it should be optional and I bet it comes out through the toybox. 2023-2024 kicks off the year of electronic driving sounds.
I think they should introduce subtle drive sounds. It is free marketing. I would not have notice how far along Kia and Hyundai are with their other EV lineup if their cars didnt make that futuristic sound driving my neighborhood or various parking lots.

As long as they are voluntary. I will disconnect every speaker in the car if I have to to prevent it making some fake engine (or similar) noise while driving.

Controls Search? LOL.
Zawinski's Law states that Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. I give you TunaBug's corollary: Every device attempts to expand until it's control panel is so complicated that it needs a search function.

I do like that they're expanding what the left scroll wheel does, presumably overloading based on context. Answer/decline a call from the wheel will be nice, but what I really want is that extended so that we can adjust headlight and wiper settings from the wheel.

I was more referencing fake engine noises that some manufactures do, including ones piped through the internal speakers.
All I want is better performance for the media apps on mcu2 and resizing of the main map view. The car view is useless really and is wasting space.
Haha. It gets surprisingly grimy and dusty up there! I’m certainly not diligent enough to wash my car every weekYours doesn't open by using the physical switch on the trunk itself?
I 1000% agree I like the current futuristic sounds they make silence was futuristic in 1990 in The hunt for Red October. And I don’t think any fake noise can improve on silence.
Not to mention that any fake noise means slightly reduced mileage as that take processing power and power to drive the speaker may only be (just trying to simplify here) 1-2 miles per charge but still that’s 1-2 miles For nothing.
Some people are spending 100s to 1000s of dollars to get 5-6 miles per charge better efficiency.

I thought the sounds the Lightning made at low speeds were very subtle and kind of cool. Any propulsion sound should definitely be adjustable and defeatable though as I understand they're not for everyone, and there are times I'd also like to drive in silence. It is a gimmick, but a noticeable one. I'm surprised they haven't done it already.
There's no way a propulsion sound makes any kind of impact to range. Not even a mile's worth. If it uses 15 additional watts I'd be surprised.
