What does "new S" mean on NotATeslaApp

[zoomer0056]

On the NotATeslaApp website, some models getting an update are prefaced by the word "New". There is also a "Legacy" preface. What does that mean?

It's the latest refresh. 2021.5+

LoL, so maybe you can also explain why we don't get left scroll wheel customization on a New S!

Yes, I can. The answer is stupidity.

I thought new S meant the one with larger rear screen. Reaosn is the new software update has rear moving seat feature which I am suspicious if my S with smaller rear screen gets it.

Using "new" as a qualifier won't work for much longer. 2021 cars are already old, especially with HW4 being out, no USS, Vision and new RADAR. I bet NotATeslaApp has already thought about using some other qualifier, like year.

Question: On this latest software release, you can now adjust the passenger seat from the front screen using the "rear display." I've tried this, and it does work. However, appears you can only adjust the seat back angle of recline, not actually move the seat forward or backward. Is this working properly?

A 2021 S and a 2023 S are more related than a 2021 and a 2020 S as many things changed in 2021, but I agree "Refresh S" would be a more accurate term than "new".

No.

On mine, the whole seat moves forward while the seatback tilts forward, and vice versa.

Ugh, I think "refresh" has been over used. It would have to be R1, R2, R3 and whatever the current Refresh is at. Then those would have to (still) be tied to a date. Maybe year isn't good enough, so MoYr. Tesla never stands still, a refresh happens almost monthly. It's a good thing.

It does get it. My ‘21 Refresh with original rear screen on 2023.12.1 includes feature.
