Maybe it just feels that way. I've looked at the old tesla interfaces and the current software updates look modern and have new features.

That's the problem though: car interfaces shouldn't "look modern", they should provide access to features in a maximally safe and ergonomic way. Tesla seems to be going in the exact opposite direction, mirroring the trend of web and mobile technologies.

They should also work predictably and consistently. When I’m in an emergency going 70 miles per hour or stranded by the side of the road at 3AM, I don’t want to have to worry about whether I’m running Car2.0 or Car2.1 where they changed where the hazard light button was.
