What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

It's not clear at your picture, but I thought I could see a gray bar at the left. You haven't seen this become green during regen?
Not yet anyways. I was paying close attention and nothing. I even checked with tech support and they don’t know.

Then I do not know either. I thought I saw a gray bar here.
I suggest to try to put your screen in dark mode. It makes the grey more visible.

It's a HUGE steps backwards as it took forever for Tesla to make the bar at the top thicker so that you could actually see and interpret it. Now they moved it to the very left, made it 1 pixel wide and it is impossible to tell where the acceleration and regen maximums are, if you can even find the thin line.

OK, I found it. This was a seriously lame update, to have made the acceleration and reach generation bar so slim. If you guys hadn’t made the mention, I don’t think I would’ve seen it for a while. Thank you to all.
Like many changes similar to this it’s probably about dumbing down things for regular drivers coming from gas. While it makes sense to those of us familiar with Teslas and enthusiasts, most regular people don’t want to be confused by anything extra. In terms of regen this is likely also why they made brakes-compensating-for-low-regen the default.
I think that's right and we can feel it in many areas of the UI. We could get a lot more information during charging for example: battery temperature, what is derating the charging rate etc... but Tesla seem to want to keep it so simple that's it's "just like an ICE". What might work is getting an "advanced UI" option that only the nerds turn on 
you mean service mode? that's pretty hardcoreI think that's right and we can feel it in many areas of the UI.

You're right, service mode is now available but it overloads everything and isn't meant for normal driving. I mean like many software applications on our computers: two interfaces, basic and advanced, that you can use all the time.
Yeah I just spent two weeks with a Polestar and it’s much more like a gas car, way way less techy, fewer settings and all round simpler / less sophisticated. I prefer Tesla and all the extra tech but I can see why many drivers wouldn’t.I think that's right and we can feel it in many areas of the UI.

Very sad about losing the obvious accel/regen bar
I used this quite often when trying to coast instead of accelerate or regen (in the name of efficiency). Also the speed indicator is obnoxiously large now...

The regen bar is still there.
I'm on 2024.14.8

but way less obvious... I didnt know they specifically moved it to the left side on my morning drive, but I was looking for it and could not find it.. Maybe now that I know where it is I'll be able to use it, but certainly not as easily as it was before the update.
