I really don't think it is that big of an issue:
As you can see, you can still easily use it in a sort of split screen mode. The only feature missing is the ability to have navigation on the bottom of your screen and the music player or rear view camera on top, but I'm pretty sure that Tesla has statistics on how many people actually use this setup.
Actually, I'd phrase it more that now the main screen IS navigation, and you can put some other app at the bottom floating on top of the giant navigation app. When you close everything else, you're stuck with navigation, like it or not.You forgot the main feature missing: the ability to have any two apps visible at the same time. Navigation is now a forced app when previously you could have calendar and music for example.
Thanks, I will be escalating this as it seems I will be forced to update after xing out the last 2 days, there is a countdown timer that I cannot seem to stop for it to auto update.
Edit: oh wait, maybe that is just time left till the autoset time it defaults to Still escalated this.

I received an email that was word for word identical this AM also.Tesla replied today, they also pulled the update from my car so I dont have to be annoyed with xing out of it all the time.
Installed 9. So far my Web page for Waze no longer loads and web browser stays with a black screen, No front camera, Garage door opener stopped working and will not reprogram. Auto driver front door no longer opens or closes. Can't stop the Navigation screen from dominating the top half of the screen.
Other than that, so far, fine.
We just received the V.9 update on our 2018 Tesla. We are very disappointed that we are no longer able to display the rear-view camera on top. We always have the camera on top and music/radio on the bottom. We almost never use the map. But with V.9, we're forced to always have the map visible, can't move the camera to the top, and can't have two information panels displaying at once (i.e., Camera, Media, Calendar, Phone, Browser, etc.)
We hope this downgrade to the user interface will be resolved in a future update. Many of the other V.9 changes we like, but not the camera placement or the removal of split-screen functionality.
Who thought that was a good idea?
Having a 2013 pre-Autopilot Model S I always keep the backup camera on as the Model S has big blind spots. I always glance at the display in heavy traffic before changing lanes. For me the split screen is a necessity with backup camera on top and navigation on the bottom.

Upgrades are great. But not at the cost of downgrades at the same time.
Item # 1 is incorrect. Just because you wernt showing navigation on the screen doesnt mean it was turned off. It was still processing where you were via GPS and loading the map tiles in the background.
