Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)
- Thread starter PoitNarf
- Start date
This is the best explanation that I've heard a few times from owners. Definitely corresponds to my experience of the last couple of updates too.
Unselect “SYNC” and they’ll both come back
I'd really like to see the car get intelligent enough to automatically go back to sync when I don't have a passenger, and desync when I do.

There are 3,099 cars reporting on TeslaFi - it is a sample but a very impressive sample. Assuming there are about 300,000 Teslas in circulation, a sample of 3,099 will give you results within 2.3% margin of error 99% of the time (increasing the population will not change the margin of error much). While I would love for Tesla to give 100% detail, the sample size from TeslaFi is large enough to provide a very credible analysis.
As far as car malfunctioning, I am assuming Tesla does a lot of pre-testing before going on public roads, plus the guinea pig testing (early access program). I am guessing they are not trying it out on 35% of Model S & X owners before deciding it is safe enough for Model 3 owners.

A few have reported getting 39.1 and its not clear if they're in the early access program or not (they are under NDA). Impatience will drive me crazy - I'll just wait.. for a few weeks before I become impatient again.

I’ve heard that you’re not allowed to be on sites such as TeslaFi or ev-fw.com if you are on early access...A few have reported getting 39.1 and its not clear if they're in the early access program or not (they are under NDA).

There were a few versions that popped up pre-39.6 that supposedly were the early access program testers (39; 39.1; 39.2.1; 39.3; 39.4; 39.5). A handful did pop up on TeslaFi - I am guessing the testers did not realize they were being tracked by TeslaFi; did not know they shouldn't be tracking; or just didn't care.

We have two model 3’s.
On Tuesday one of them got 39.6
Still waiting for the other one to get the update.
The one missing the update to V9 is never on WiFi so... we’ll see how long it takes to get it pushed

I wonder if it's because I open the rear door first and toss my laptop bag in the back. I'll have to test it out tomorrow.

Totally unrelated, but I was just watching Back to the Future II with my kids (first time for them, about the 30th time for me), and barely minutes after Biff remarks that he's just seen a flying Delorean, I see your username here. I had to do a double take to be sure I had really just seen that term on this thread.
Now we need a sequel that uses a flying Model 3!

Probably just a coincidence, but I got the 39.6 update prompt the very next day after I submitted some bug reports via the car for 36.2.

Hah, well the first one was just me laughing like a fool when the screen translated "bug report" as "burger report" and then still accepted my laughing as a bug report and thanked me for my feedback.
The second one was reporting erratic behavior of the auto wipers in light rain at slow speeds in traffic. They would work at a reasonable, appropriate speed for a while, then go completely bonkers like it was a torrential downpour for 30 seconds at a time every few minutes until I gave up and set them manually to low.
The third one was reporting that my screen had gone black twice in the last week after getting in the car and touching the screen to interact with it, requiring a reboot.
You have to be succinct as it only listens for what felt like 5 seconds.

Interesting that Tesla chose those particular games. All 4 of them ran on the MOS 6502 processor, so I'm thinking they are sharing common emulation code that is capable of running all 4 of them.
Other possible Atari games that could run on this emulator:
Night Driver
Sprint
Sprint 2
Sprint 4
Asteroids Deluxe
Battlezone
Crystal Castles
Warlords
The following games also ran on the 6502, but may not be able to run on the Tesla emulator because these had extra sound CPUs:
Gravitar
Millipede
Major Havoc
Red Baron
Space Duel
Tempest
What I’d like to see is them adding a game controller to the app so you can control the game on the screen from your phone. I only played around with the games very briefly but found them very hard to play with the on screen controls. I think you can use the steering wheel buttons as well though, but I haven’t tried that yet.

Our old S, '13 P85 just got 39.7. For that car, its practically useless. The car that can use the update is standing by, waiting for the update that will never come.
