My strong suspicion is that they're running at the razor's edge of what they can hold in memory, and the dashcam may be a big part of what is holding things up. So lots of things are getting paged away that used to be kept in memory. Things slowed down noticably when dashcam was introduced and have gotten worse over the past six months or so.This. Latency in the UI has gotten kind of ridiculous. Change tabs/apps, slow AF. Hit the climate button and it takes 2-3s before the climate panel pops up. Used to be much more snappy. Touch sensitivity in the button bar on the bottom isn't fantastic either...maybe the touch targets are too small?
Edit: I must use the climate panel fairly infrequently and its memory must be getting garbage collected semi-frequently. Messing with the climate panel after work and after the first time accessing it, subsequent taps were within 1s.
Tesla did the same thing (although at least on my 2020 Model Y, Tesla's dashcam situation is way worse). These vehicles just did not have the compute headroom for their infotainment ambitions. (Maybe Gen2 is better?)
I'm also at least a little suspicious that there's a lot of web UI at play here usually implies poorly optimized React soup, but that's just a hunch.
