On a positive note, the UX continues to improve, especially with the latest update.

I've only used Apple Music briefly since it just came out, but it seems similar to Spotify.

I love that the music controls are now in a dedicated mini-panel on the bottom left of the screen within immediate reach. This is far better than having to reach over to the center of the screen to skip forwards/backward (e.g. during a podcast).

You can also swipe on that same mini-panel to quickly see tire pressure and real-time energy metrics. This is an improvement over the original "swipe cards", which were clunky and undiscoverable.

For rear heated seats, that's a bit tricky from a UI standpoint. Not many vehicles have 3 heated seats in the rear, much less with 3 heating levels.

I imagine Tesla could add physical buttons for rear passengers to adjust the heated seats, e.g. next to the existing USB-C ports. I happened to come across this aftermarket upgrade [1].

At least the front heated seats are a single tap. Or they can be set to auto-mode, which works extremely well in my experience [2].

I abhor that the new music modal interferes with other more vital modals on the left side of the screen. It should at the very least be configurable. Terrible and dangerous when they conflict.
