    Software Update 2018.32.2 3817fdd

    Got the update to this version last night. I did notice that my traffic is refreshing more frequently now. Still a bit of a delay after starting up the car, but I don't have to manually refresh it or use the navigation just to get traffic updates. I've encountered a really crummy bug though...

    Firmware 8.1

    I just got update to 2018.32.2 3817fdd last night. When I try to use the steering wheel FWD/BCK buttons to change between streaming radio channels, it doesn't work. And, after attempting, the media player completely freezes. It'll finish the existing song, but you cannot skip songs, cannot...

    Traffic colors wrong in some zoom levels / not refreshing

    They did this intentionally? This is the worst decision since New Coke. This needs to be reverted immediately and whomever decided it was a good idea should be fired... out of a cannon... into the sun. Our "luxury" cars now are lacking real time traffic - a feature than you can find on a Kia...

    What to do with old gas ?

    It's going to vary depending on where you live, but check your local services for Household Hazardous Waste Disposal. In Seattle for example you can drop off plenty of items, including gasoline, for free (daily limits apply) and they'll make sure its properly disposed of.

    Voice Music search 8.0

    I like that it plays without me having to look away from the road. Haven't had it play a wrong song yet. When doing a voice search, i just add "by artist" at the end, that usually gets it right. Like: "Play Frank Sinatra by Cake"

    Slacker: No more songs available

    I got this the other day too while listening to Slacker's comedy station. I've also notice my songs load up a LOT slower over the past week. To the point where I can hit the buffering and the song pauses. I have the LTE upgrade and most the time i have a strong connection when this slowness...

    Fatal autopilot crash, NHTSA investigating...

    It's easy to think it'd be hard not to see a semi turn in front of you, but in the wrong conditions like this... obviously it can happen. All it takes is taking your eyes off the road for a moment and missing the cab. Whether on standard cruise control, TACC, or just out on a somewhat deserted...

    New Center Console notice email

    Yeah, the new one looks more solid than the drop-in version I have from Tesla. The drop-in definitely feels flimsy. The piano black surface on it is covered micro-swirl type scratches that catch the light, despite me never putting anything on top of it. The phone charger aspect of it never...

    Firmware 7.1

    I got the update this morning and I have a gym membership... that I haven't used in like 3 years. Does that count? ;)

    Newer car reliability poll (2015-2016)

    Technically received 12 days before 2015 but I'll chime in here: I know rattles are such a minor thing compared to some of the stuff people have had, but man is it frustrating. I've had few a new rattles develop, one is coming from the passenger side somewhere, either the B or C pillar, I...

    Anyone have a creak in their rear hatch fixed by Service?

    I had couple issues with rattles in my rear hatch which Tesla fixed. One was with the speaker grill below the window. They fixed that by adding some felt to make the grill more snug so it didn't shake. I could repro the noise on most roads & also by firmly tapping just below it. Another...

    Think we'll ever have 3rd party apps?

    I haven't heard any discussion on this in awhile, and when I searched there were several posts from back in 2014 predicting we'll have it by 2015 :rolleyes: Anyone have any insight? Has this come up in any interviews or speeches lately? Kinda seems unlikely at this point, which is too bad. I...

    Bluetooth problem? Entering the car while on a call - doesn't transition to speakers

    Edited the first post to clarify a bit: My phone switches from speakerphone to bluetooth mode. (speakerphone shuts off, bluetooth talk mode button lit up [Android OS].. its trying to transition to the speakers... just nothing happens) Everything on my phone UI shows it is connected. The car...

    Airport parking at SeaTac?

    I'm not sure... I thought I read something about some spots having access to a standard wall plug, but I've never remembered to check. most trips I take are under a week, and if longer I usually just get a car service as it comes out to about the same price.

    Source button gone! - 7.1 update

    Hmm... I've worked in software development a long time and take issue with a few of the assumptions you're making. I obviously do not work for Tesla nor do I have any insight into their operations, but I do know industry best practices and I've seen my fair share of software approaches. Yeah...
