If the camera was closed beforehand you get the larger screen. If the camera was already opened while driving it remains in its position at the bottom.
Im pretty sure it used to work the same in 8.1 (besides the fact that it can't be permanently kept open at the top anymore)

P85D-L, AP1, v 9.0 today ... no valet mode. Can't share with my car, get an error message "your vehicle does not support starting navigation on your phone" iOS 12.0 Like most here, seems not smart to remove our ability to run anything other than Nav on the top 2/3 of the screen, or run 2 app.s (other than nav) at once. Looks like they took our old OS(7 years of development), threw it in the garage, recompiled the Model 3 OS for our hardware, and that's it.
Oh, and last ... was getting 1 bar on my Wifi - the base is 10' away only 1 sheetrock wall in the way - so I tried a few things, including forgetting the wifi and starting over. It won't give me a list of available wifi - I have to type in the network name correctly in order to get in. Interesting set of features apparently disabled.
PS - I have the LTE upgrade. Perhaps this new software doesn't allow for a car of my generation running that chipset on the wifi. Time will tell.

From reports you can no longer switch (rotate) your screens. This update isn't going on my 2016 P90D anytime soon if ever. There are so many people on the Tesla forum site complaining about putting this new update on their cars.
Not that I'm aware of, no. It goes away with a single tap, but it'll be back every time you turn the car on.
Got the update on my car in the evening of Oct 5 . Tried it out today . I don’t really like the whole Model 3 UI theme and much prefer the older one .

If you are used to having one app other than nav on the top of the screen and another on the bottom then V9 is not for you, but I love it. The lay out is much more intuitive.

It works just fine.
Works well via Google Maps app on my Pixel 2 with Android 9. But I got an error trying to share location from the Chrome app on my phone.
Overall, I like the new UI. My only gripe is when navigating to destination I can't see a bunch of next turns AND be heading up on the map.
Overall I love the update, the UI feels more polished and natural where some of the settings are, such as heated seats, I like that the subzero package is now under climate controls. I also feel that the whole MCU is more responsive, times past Slacker album art would be slow to load on the dash but not anymore it seems all in realtime like it should be. I don't miss the option of having two apps on the screen, because I always had the map on top, and then just switched out whatever I was doing in the bottom pane.

Can you show me where "navigate" and "share" are on Google Maps? I only see a "Start" button initially.
After start I can pull up a bottom menu that allows for sharing trip progress, but it only lists contacts, not apps.

You are a step too far. You are using Maps to calculate directions and starting navigation. All you need to do is search for a destination and then you can share with the Tesla app. Do not continue to the step where you let Maps calculate directions.
