That looks a little frustrating. I wonder if there is a way around it?
tristanb··on A UX designer walks into a Tesla Bar (2021)
AS a UX professional myself, I find the tesla UI changes incredibly annoying and detrimental to functionality. They reek of random "redesign" with no thought of function. The buttons in the car controls are greatly superior to the tiny icons.

In fact if you take a look at the UI in general, it's all pretty disconnected. We have 50% of the screen taken up with a visualization of the cars around you (but not all of them, and you can't 'trust' it). Next to it we have a map. The map directions are not shown on the visualization. You can't use the visualization to check for cars as you would in mirrors, as its not accurate. So why is it even shown? They could use it to show navigation routes rendered as they are seen, so offramps are shown to the user in 3d rather than the overhead map tiles. That would be actually useful.

tristanb··on Show HN: LangCSS – An AI Assistant for Tailwind
Interesting, I have found ChatGPT struggles with CSS, and Tailwind.

You were able to deliver, ChatGPT was not.
