V11 is going to be HUGE!
- Thread starter diplomat33
- Start date
The media apps are so bad that I don't even consider the Tesla to have media apps.
You are mistaking auto navigate being off with autopilot turning off. I was driving in the rain today too, auto pilot continued to work. Only auto navigate stopped due to poor weather conditions.

wow...at least you have the FSD beta to try out...all of us FSD owners with no beta are envious....

So, ultimately, we don't actually know if the V11 update is coming soon, we don't know if it will contain FSD, and we don't know about any other features of the update. But stay tuned because this is "HUGE"?
I don't believe we're going to see V11 before the end of the year.
I’m feeling that way, too. It’s pretty certain that v11 offers the ability to stream live camera feeds from the vehicle to the Tesla app (confirmed by Green and shown in his recent UI options, etc.) — but we haven’t seen the Tesla app updated, so it’s unlikely they’re ready to launch.
Granted, there’s an outside chance there’s a ton of stuff “hidden” in current builds and Tesla could just flip a toggle, but I’m highly doubtful.

I'm a new owner, and the existing mobile app is kinda gross and buggy. Really looking forward to an update.

I use a Pixel 5.
It feels very poorly designed from a UI/UX perspective. Some points:
- the spinner modal at the bottom blocks way more of the screen than necessary. Something small in the corner would get the same idea across without being so intrusive
- If it can't directly contact the car at that moment, it has no idea what your car looks like or any details about it. This is dumb because people don't change cars that often and this state should be synced/cached in a server somewhere. I park underground so my car image is permenantly blank, and the data is always out of date.
- some of the window switching and tabs takes many seconds to load despite how basic the information is
- the little chest for referrals in the top corner is pointless as it's maybe used once or twice in the entire life of the car
- there is an option to turn on fingerprint authentication that doesn't appear to do anything
- there is an inbox that doesn't appear to do anything
- the account screen just shows links and no information about your account or the ability to change the info
- every time you change screens, there are multiple flashes and spinners and logos. Should just be a smooth transition
- I could go on, but compare this to a professionally made app and it seems kind of embarassingly bad
Bugs:
- the one that's been bugging me the most is that I scheduled one service appointment and now it seems to forever say that I have an unread message even though it's not unread, and I canceled the appointment.
Weird empty car space:

I can confirm this bug exists.
Have not experienced the other UI issues you describe (on Pixel 4).

Same thing happened to me. Then, this morning, I had condensation in the pillar cameras, and it turned off because of that. Ugh.
The Tesla apologists/fanboys here constantly excuse it away but Tesla is really doing a horrible job with issues like this.

Yes this has to be fixed one way or another in order to make fsd usable in any real way.
These are a lot of really specific gripes..
You can't do anything until the API can connect to the car, so the modal might as well take up the whole screen. There is no centrally cached information about car state so even the last data shown is useless.
The car image includes a ton of state information - open doors, trunk, frunk, windows, wheel selection - without asking the car the state, all it could do is show a (misleading) image of your car's fixed characteristics - the model and color. Why bother? You know what your car looks like.
To quote Louis CK - "It's GOING TO SPACE, CAN YOU GIVE IT A SECOND?!" - the API has to go from your phone to Tesla servers to the car, possibly waking up the car, to get status. That's how JSON works, we just have a lot of links in between.
Agreed. Kinda pointless to be so prominent, but it's a marketing technique (kind of their only one) so it gets 30 pixels square in the corner.
It's so when you want to ask your car to start (keyless driving) you don't have to type your password. Blame Google - that's how apps access your credential storage.
There are announcements roughly quarterly with tips for winter driving, new software announcements, etc. Why would you expect to have received a bunch of messages as a new owner?
The fender cameras are susceptible to water build-up which blurs their view. My MX looses NoA capability on > 1 hr freeway drives in moderate to heavy rain. I get messages that the left or right forward cameras are obscured or not functional, and when I stop to check they look fine with nothing blocking them. I've reviewed recorded fender camera data and observed the blurred view.
I'm not sure what to do about this, but Tesla should be working on some sort of fix if they expect FSD to work in rainy conditions.
