2021 TESLA HOLIDAY UPDATE V11 DEEP DIVE Q&A

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom provides a comprehensive walkthrough of Tesla's 2021 Holiday Update (V11), focusing on user feedback and common issues. While acknowledging the update's new features like the light show, customizable app launcher, and improved waypoint navigation, the reviewer highlights significant UI criticisms. Many users, including Tom, feel the interface has become too minimalistic, with essential functions like driver profiles and charging settings being harder to access. The placement and functionality of the blind spot camera also draw criticism, with suggestions for improvement. The reviewer notes that while some features are exciting, the rollout timing and the removal of certain user-friendly elements have led to a mixed reception within the Tesla community. The discussion also touches upon the potential for future hardware upgrades and the ongoing debate about Tesla's software development approach.
