I posted this in the main v9 thread but wanted to point out that the AP1 auto lane changing feature seems much improved over prior versions. There is noticeably less lag between engaging the turn signal and the car moving into the next lane. I’d say the lag is now equivalent to how long I would wait before I start moving the car over (~1 second) when driving manually. If there is an adjacent car in the next lane when engaging the turn signal, the lag before moving over after the other car has moved away is also less (also about 1 second after the other car has cleared the set follow distance). Overall, the behavior seems much more consistent and predictable, so much so that I was able to use auto lane change to cut in between two closely spaced cars (approx two car lengths between them). The shorter lag allowed me to change lanes quickly right when I thought it was safe. Of course there’s a chance this is all in my head, but I feel like before there was a lot more “so are we gonna move over or not?” going on whenever I initiated an auto lane change on prior versions.
It is not in your head
Pardon my curiosity but why would you keep auto-present handles off?
They are basically consumables on these cars, so this should allow for less frequent repair/replacement
Didn't it always do that?
I'm in the USA. AP1 with v8 did not display adjacent lanes.Yes it did. Here in Europe I'm still on version 8 and it shows adjacent lanes with AP1.

I also found it annoying and imo safer for the car not to present as I walked towards it.They are basically consumables on these cars, so this should allow for less frequent repair/replacement
Do they still go full tilt when they really don't need to?Anybody else driven in rain yet? I’m finding the auto sensing wipers are not working as well with V9 as they did with previous versions (ie I end up wiping before they decide to)
If you manually open the charge port door from the charging control screen all your lights will turn off, at least that's the way the lights work on v8 firmware... I haven't upgraded nor have I been given the chance to, doesn't sound like I'm going to given the comments on this thread.I noticed the Lights controls no longer have an image of the car, showing the actual status of the headlights, fog lights, DRLs, etc. Did that move somewhere else?
Here's my use case: when I need to pick someone up and have to wait a few minutes for them to arrive, I want to turn off all the lights while I'm sitting parked in the car. The car image provided useful feedback as to whether I had really turned all the lights off (it can be hard to tell if it's not yet completely dark outside.) It looks like there's still no easy way to accomplish this.

Yea, consider how long it took and will take to get simple rain sensor implemented. Tesla has claims millions of miles of training data collected from their fleet, and yet, with all this rich data, they can't get it to wipe its own windshield right. Now think how many orders of magnitude longer it will take to get FSD functionality.the programming needs some more TLC. They were unpredictable before and with V9 they still are. I have had them come on every 2 seconds on lowest setting with just the lightest mist, and a heavy rain has them come on every 4 seconds.
And from time to time I still put the car in neutral by trying to mist the wipers with the right stick. (Honda driver for over 10 years...) or I cancel AP by hitting the wrong button on the end of the stick.
Answering my own question after watching more video reviews, it looks like v9 now actually does provide a way to quickly turn off all exterior lights...I noticed the Lights controls no longer have an image of the car, showing the actual status of the headlights, fog lights, DRLs, etc. Did that move somewhere else?

yeah that's a good guess on an underlying reason for the little details they botch each time, especially things that used to work just fine before, like the ones you observe. Also I'm lead to believe that the programmers responsible perhaps have never actually driven a Tesla, or perhaps even seen or sat in one. But hey, we've got Asteroids!I updated hoping for some small improvements. So far, I only see little downgrades that make me think the person originally responsible for the Tesla UI is no longer with the company and didn’t leave good notes.

I updated hoping for some small improvements. So far, I only see little downgrades that make me think the person originally responsible for the Tesla UI is no longer with the company and didn’t leave good notes. In the interest of fair warning:
-The charge level setting no longer includes arrows to advance to the next 10%. Now we have to try to move the slider to exactly 80%.
-The HVAC no longer has ‘auto’ capability for each function. There is Auto mode, and if you adjust anything is seems that all hvac controls are then on manual. I will test to see, but I typically like the floor and center vents on, and leave fan and the other functions on auto. When I force vent to floor, it looks like I’m on my own for fan control
-The Autopilot stability over road crests is suddenly bad again with the car diving left or right when it loses lane visibility. I’m hoping that improves. Previous version had improved since summer 2016 when I bought the car.
-while you can disable the auto present handles, it’s not going to save much wear since when any handle is
