Tesla\u2019s long-awaited Holiday 2021 update<\/a> enabled a ton of new features, including a blind spot camera. Unfortunately, it also changed the Tesla infotainment center UI, tucking essential controls like A\/C fan speed behind a flurry of annoying menus. To address the issue, designer\u00a0Hans van de Bruggen made a now-viral concept Tesla UI with a much simpler interface.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Elon Musk didn\u2019t appreciate the mockup. And his response led to a flood of complaints from Tesla drivers who are unhappy with the Holiday 2021 update\u2019s awkward UI changes.<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on an interface concept this week and would love to get everyone’s feedback ? #Tesla<\/a> #v11<\/a> #concept<\/a><\/p>\n

We would need a whole article to list every problem with the current Tesla UI. Customers complain that the speedometer shouldn\u2019t be in the top left corner of the screen, where it\u2019s obscured by their right hand. They also say that tire pressure should be easier to find, that A\/C and seat heater controls shouldn\u2019t be hidden, and that dashcam functions are practically useless now that they take more than three clicks to activate.<\/p>\n

Hans van de Bruggen\u2019s\u00a0fan-made prototype UI addresses most of these complaints. Plus, it introduces some neat customization features to the Tesla interface. The prototype lets you add whatever shortcuts you want to the infotainment center, including those pesky A\/C and seat heater controls.<\/p>\n

Almost all input is error. Car should do the right thing automatically.<\/p>\n

But Elon Musk believes that \u201calmost all input is error<\/a>,\u201d which is a roundabout way of saying that customers should never have to touch any buttons. Instead, your car should adapt to your needs automatically. This idea is interesting, but it\u2019s completely disconnected from reality. Teslas cannot anticipate your every need, and they won\u2019t gain such a capability for decades, if ever.<\/p>\n

Basic controls should be easily accessible to drivers. Not just for convenience, but for safety. You shouldn\u2019t have to take your eyes off the road just to turn on your seat warmer. That\u2019s why Tesla drivers are upset about the recent UI change, and it\u2019s also the reason why they dogpiled Elon Musk<\/a> after his dismissive tweet.<\/p>\n
