This is not just limited to Telsa these days. Virtually all application / operating systems developers have become infected with the "let's change the user interface" disease. A long time ago, it was pretty much bog standard for all applications to have menus up at the top of the screen. Letters were underlined to indicate the keyboard shortcut, as keyboard users were still considered to be a significant part of the common use-case.
These days I'm lucky if there are keyboard short cuts for half of the functionality an application has. I'm now forced to stare at icons that don't give me a visual hint for what the keyboard shortcut might be. My iPhone expects me to know about brand new unguessable gestures just because I was forced to upgrade from a perfectly fine iPhone SE to a 12 because the screen died. An iOS update last night made my streaming music app stop working when the screen is locked and I had to infer what settings to change because all the help entries on the topic were for when settings were in different places.
I wish discoverability of user interfaces was still a thing, but clearly I am deemed to be in the unworthy of consideration minority. It's sad that things have gone so far backwards over the past 20 years that younger people don't even know what they're missing.
