Where do you see a feature to remotely start the car? Are you taking about the ‘power’ button on the climate screen? That’s to turn the climate control system on.
This is what I have. The ‘power’ button on the climate screen just turns on the climate control system like one would expect. I have my phone set to auto-update but it’s an iphone. I have no idea how Android handles updates.
I never noticed that (obviously!) I was thinking of the ‘power’ button on the climate screen.
yes - I saw a few posts discussing that use. Also, for cars with a key fob it will work if the fob is broken.
I would like to "second" this post. Going from one menu button to another is twice the amount of time your eyes are off the road. The windshield wiper change I can accept, but defrost (front and rear) and seat heaters should all be on the main menu again. The changes to the media setup makes it more difficult to change stations on radio or switch to streaming from my list of favorites more difficult in traffic or slippery conditions. Most of my driving is done in traffic or in adverse weather. Anything that alters the driving controls should be off the table for future updates other than putting some back on the main menu.
I’ll be the lone dissenter here. I live in Denver and drive in the mountains often as well. I noticed the changes but I guess they just don’t really bother me. I still drive in the snow and have managed not to die AND keep my butt warm. That being said, I certainly understand other peoples frustrations and agree that moving some of the features from one click doesn’t make much sense. My wife’s XC90 also requires multiple touches to adjust the seat heater, so maybe I’m just used to that.
Pretty low bar for $100k+ car. For the amount I spent on it, and considering all the hoopla how advanced and luxury it is, I would expect the UI to be super intuitive. Not automated (because Tesla automation is pretty bad and almost everything is beta) but intuitive.
I didn’t set that bar, others have by pointing out they think it’s now a death trap when driving in cold weather. Just giving my opinion as someone who drives in cold/snowy weather. I agree it should be better. But it took me like 2 seconds to figure out where the controls moved to, so it’s super intuitive for me, maybe not you.
You're discovering the issues that many of us have been unhappy with since V11 appeared almost 2 months ago. Light controls can be accessed by moving the left stalk forward or back. Fan speed does have one-touch functionality - just tap either side of the dot to move one speed step, or tap at the end of the line to jump the speed. Hopefully future updates might restore quicker access to frequently-used controls.
I have not seen anyone claiming that it is a death trap. The sentiment is more of “For a $100k+ car I should not have to be concerned about my safety when I engage the defogger”
Except when you do that you flash your brights at the person ahead of you.
