Right. Is this what we're talking about? I recall something in which the controls were stacked vertically above the car icon (or maybe I dreamt that).It was shown in the tutorial, but doesn't actually exist!

Here is what you saw. It was displayed on the screen right after the update. People (myself included) thought this was a new quick menu, but it was just an indication that these five functions have been moved to the control menu and you would have to press the car icon to find these functions in the future.Right.

I agree, I always press the stalk button when it starts raining and I need the wipers. Pressing the button gives you one wipe and then the wiper menu appears just like it always did. I would never try to press a button on the screen when my windshield was getting covered with water. The only time I would go to the screen was when I was entering a car wash (touchless only of course!) and wanted to change the wipers from auto to off.Why people obsessed with wiper control? Hit the stalk or use voice control
Actually heated seats is one swipe up then a button press. As for stuff 'stuck' on the bottom...yes, you can fix calendar there or it was one which you recently used. I'm thinking the use of calendar might become more clear in later updates. As for customization, yes that would be great. Maybe Tesla are thinking this? Regarding Profile select I have 3 people using my car and the auto profile select so far works well. YMMV.
I disagree about heated seats on front screen. Most people put their seats on when they get in their car not while driving. One swipe is nothing while sitting there in my opinion. Maybe the option to customize will happen...don't know. As for calendar I like the idea of it, I use it when I drive to work (or rather when I used to every day) to check on my upcoming day. I think there may be a future use for this. My profile auto-select has worked from day one for me.Heated seats should be on the screen without extra push or swipe - or at least we should have the option to put it there; this one is no brainer.
Calendar should never be on the screen itself; like someone said - the whole "recently used" section should just be discarded as a waste of space.
The profile auto-select used to work for us - but then at some point stopped and now only works half the time. Not sure why - I've tried to reset settings on the keys several times. It may be that when I unlock the car with my phone then my wife's phone is also in range (upstairs above the garage) and the car gets confused. Either way - not having the profile on screen is annoying.
Thanks for trying to look at the bright-side, lawdawg... but for safe driving every "enhancement" made driving less safe.I think the tutorial was attempting to show where to access those controls but did so in such a confusing way that it looked like it was a new feature itself. Still a problem, but I don't think it was a case of a feature being developed but not implemented. I have mixed feeling about V11 overall -- some things seem better some things seem worse. I've only had my Tesla about a month so at least I don't have to unlearn years worth of muscle memory.
WhiteWi: regardless of whether or not you personally feel that the changes impact safety... you actually inadvertently justified all of our complaints. They completely overhauled the interface and the only positive thing you can point out is "Love how open pages are fast and easy to completely close with swift finger swipe". Implementing that 'feature' is what they should have done. Not monkey around with relocating features that many of us used every day into 2 or 3 levels deep of menus.My observation after 900 miles road trip with new interface. Love how open pages are fast and easy to completely close with swift finger swipe. Had no problems with AC set to auto during different temps outside, never had to manually activate defog. Blind spot cam is good during day and ok during night but I got used to shoulder check anyway. I thought that new location on nav to find superchargers would be an issue but after playing with nav few times it become no issue. We sure can use more function buttons to use and maybe two more icons added instead of recent apps. I am confident Tesla is listening and will add more functionality down the road. Oh and zero safety issues, end of the world issues and etc experienced.
Thanks for the tip! I had been dragging them all the way down to close and it seemed really annoying. A quick flip like iPhone seems to work.Love how open pages are fast and easy to completely close with swift finger swipe.

I repeat there is zero safety concerns with update no matter how many times you say it is not true. I like clean UI and updated logic behind it. Only Tesla keeps on adding features and updating their system vs Legacy. What you buy is what you will have forever (outdated UI straight from the factory floor) or they will make you pay crazy amount to update your maps.WhiteWi: regardless of whether or not you personally feel that the changes impact safety... you actually inadvertently justified all of our complaints.

Yeah it sucks that Ford doesn’t sneak into our garage from time to time and remove buttons and controls from my wife’s Explorer and rearrange her dashboard. The darn speedometer and fuel gauge are always the same size and right where they were last time we drove it! I will admit it’s great when Tesla adds some features through their updates and fixes bugs but this latest update was a mess and removed more functionality than it added.I repeat there is zero safety concerns with update no matter how many times you say it is not true.

That is obviously a matter of opinion - so everybody can be right, and in the end Tesla decides.I disagree about heated seats on front screen.

Of course, its all a matter of opinion. Let's hope Tesla gives you the option to customize. it wouldn't surprise me if they do.That is obviously a matter of opinion - so everybody can be right, and in the end Tesla decides.
However - you live in TX so probably don't use heated seats much. For anybody living in 4 seasons (or colder) - heated seats are something we use all the time. I turn them on when I get in the car, then tinker with them up and down all the time. (And BTW the new Auto setting is not that great - I still need to adjust myself). Heated seats are one of the controls most used on the screen (after music etc).
Calendar on the other hand has nothing to do with the car and has exactly zero business being top level icon.
Of course being able to put what you want there would be best for everyone - but I mean useful things like heated seats, or window defroster, not the 15 or so useless apps that you can put on the bottom bar now.
But it also sucks that Ford CAN'T add any MORE buttons either!Yeah it sucks that Ford doesn’t sneak into our garage from time to time and remove buttons and controls from my wife’s Explorer and rearrange her dashboard.

Later in the day when the temp was 50f the car put on only one bar of the seat heater. I think that's pretty impressive.
