On Model 3/Y, when you pop up something else the next navigation direction starts showing on the top-left. I know it's not the same, but it's easy to miss it.
And by far, it's not the worse offender. Some cars completely hide any instructions (looking at you, BYD)!
I mean thats your view, i don't see why i need to see a map fully if the turn instructions are always visible, lol and especially if the passengers not gonna be sitting in the fuckin AC window for an hour lol
Older teslas were better (not perfect). You had nav and status on dashboard in front of you, dedicated physical controls for turn signals, shifting, wipers, autopilot, etc. Central display was for big nav map and configuration. There was also a "rim" around the display to rest your hand on when touching something.
They still screwed it up with software updates. Touch targets got smaller and harder to hit in a moving car. Grey on white controls were harder to see, and frequently disappeared until until touched. Even dedicated controls like the passenger seat heater would disappear when the passenger got up. Controls rearranged themselves.
They need to hire some masters of human factors like modern airplane cockpit designers. In a plane, a mistake is a lost plane + faa investigation.
And listen to their customers, because most of the mistakes are blindingly obvious to everyone.
I had a dream in 2001 or so that I visited a smarthome with this kind of thing on every surface. Instantly reconfigurable decor. Then, as I was touring the home, it got hacked. And suddenly...
Goatse.
Goatse on every wall, every cabinet door, everywhere.
I was soured on the idea of smarthomes, especially ones with display-monitor decor, ever after.
Get rid of these things they are for the car makers not the car users.
