It's interesting that no-one complains the speedo isn't centered on the Lightning forums ?‍♀

For me it has nothing to do with the position do the numbers on the screen. It has to do with the aesthetic of the UI. The UI you are forced to use now, sucks. Some people may be on with a shitty UI, but I am not. How would you feel if someone messed with the outside of your car removing all the styling lines. Would you be fine with that?

I bought a Mustang Mach E, not a user interface. Your purchasing choice may have been different from mine.

The look of the car didn’t play any part in your decision?

It did. The UI did not.
So if someone came to your house in the middle of the night and changed out the body panels, you’d be ok with that?

I didn’t buy a car with interchangeable side panels. However, we both bought one with over the site software updates. Not surprisingly, that means the software might change.

And that means we are not allowed to be upset about changes?

I bought the car because of its looks, interior and exterior. When those looks get screwed up not because of an intentional change, but because of sloppy coding and inadequate testing, I’m going to be upset, and I’m going to be vocal about it.

This is a hill I will die on.

Have fun with that.

I prefer to enjoy my car.
