Tesla, for all its faults, offers its owners hope that of the dozen obvious and easily fixable aspects of the software, some of them might actually get fixed in that car's lifetime.
(And sometimes you get fart jokes. Fix all the damn bugs; only then do I give you permission to fart.)
The most flagrant is the awful support for playing music from blue tooth or attached devices. It has been common for years to be able to use the touch screen or menu to select playlists, artists, or more, from the car's UI. Not so with Telsa, want to do that drag your phone out and change what is play. You can only navigate within a playing playlist. Seeing how its illegal to use your phone in your hand in many states Tesla needs to remedy it.
We have none of our promised voice commands, no improvement since when I bought mine in August. Our energy meter is near useless, does not track when car is not moving, and only tracks overall use and does not break out HVAC, regen,or drive train use.
But we got fart humor, animated rain drops, and MAME. Their priorities suck, its no wonder why they aren't profitable, they cannot get done what they started before going off doing something else or wasting resources on stuff that does not matter
My blood boils when I see Musk tweet about putting more games in the car. They need to be reaching out to mechanics with training information so that they're not so spooked that they won't even change a tire.
There is no other auto manufacturer on the planet where you could complain about wanting news features XYZ instead of the delivered ABC and actually expect something might be done about it!

This is unfair. Aside from the humor and slight touches, which sometimes is delightful, we also got Dashcam, Sentry, Dog Mode, updated Climate controls, Blind Spot display, zoom-in speed award guidance display, improved auto-park, improved Summon, and probably another two dozen features I’m forgetting.
That’s aside from all the core AP enhancements which are almost too numerous to list.
Media is hard because they probably refuse to make the interface work for just a single model of phone, or even a narrow range of software versions of a single model of phone. They don’t want to write and maintain features that need to be tested across 100 models and versions of phones from a dozen different countries.
