My parents got a flat tire today while driving at low speed. They did not notice the on-screen warning. They are older and their peripheral vision is limited. @Tesla please make a special mode for old people such that red warnings are more visible and come with an aural alert.

I got a notification on my phone about the very low pressure. I called them immediately and informed them they had a flat tire. They didn't know and were surprised. They pulled over. When I called, the pressure was already at 1.0 bar (normally 2.9). 30 sec later it was at 0.3.

I'm pretty sure they would have continued for a while and ruined the wheel. This is potentially dangerous. What's the point of having a state-of-the-art system if the user interface doesn't reach the user? Red warning should be more visible and come with an aural alert.

Along the lines of this — I was just talking to someone about the importance of older individuals needing more defined demarcations to help show screen activity etc They easily will see NOA as confused with FSD — needs to be colorfully and visually different as an option in settings. Warnings need to be added to this list as visually blaring in this mode too. Needs to be very obvious for this setting option. @elonmusk is there a screen mode that can be implemented to help nontech savvy older humans to be alerted to changes in the vehicle etc?

The fact that your parents didn't notice a big red warning or the feel and sound of a flat tyre suggests the danger isn't with the car
