Looks like a great project. I have a 2018 Model S and also hate the feeling of being left out in the cold by both Tesla and the aftermarket guys. I'd be happy to test / help where I can. If I'm of no use but you get a good outcome, I'll just buy the bits and have a crack at it myself :)

You have to remember that Electrek is just a guy. Reading the articles on his site needs to be treated pretty much the same as reading a post on the Tesla Owners Worldwide group on Facebook; it's one person's opinion. He's fairly well informed but still...

Yes, they are dreadfully dim. I have to have creep mode enabled and rest a foot on the brake pedal to get some extra illumination from the brake lights!

Personally, I find it much more controlled to let creep roll the car back while I cover the brake. I have to reverse into my garage. There is a lip at the entry and the car only just fits in the length of the garage. Having to feather the throttle enough to get over the lip and then having to...

Sawdust? What you been eating, man? Perhaps I am a fairly stupid fleshbag of guts, other animals and plants.... Also, I have creep enabled. Can't bear it off. Parking in tight garages, (tiny) Swiss parking spaces etc is a horrible experience without creep.

Just a thought: I am able to blend from regen to friction brakes every time I want to come to a complete stop. I am a fairly stupid bag of flesh and I get it absolutely bang on, every single time. Is it really that hard for Tesla to engineer? I get that they need to use regen to a point and...

Uh oh. Did non-Raven S & Xs get orphaned already?!?!?! Really????

You are quite right. Now I just need to get the magical notification to find out!

That would be fine. Whatever it takes to achieve the goal really. Let's see when more owners have installed and tested...

That's the first I heard about the one pedal driving not coming to 'older' S & X. It will be a huge shame if you're correct that only the Raven S & X will get it. I have a 2018 S100D and am really hoping to get Stopping Mode. It's a no brainer for an EV...

Aaaah, well you wanted to be first. Gotta take a few arrows in your back ;)

There was a sketchy bluetooth phone bug where if someone called you, they could not hear you. If you called them, they could hear you fine. I am sure there are plenty of other little gems but that's a fairly annoying example.

Sorry. For some reason my brain told me that you'd replied to my post. Mea culpa. It must be giddy from being in the first few for this update too. Feels good, huh!?

That's nice for you ;) But I was kinda asking Betesami as they said they were still on a fairly old version.

Do you have your software update preference set to standard or advanced?

Firstly, congratulations and welcome to the clan! I reported this behaviour to my local Service Centre back in March. They have done some testing and have been able to replicate the issue. They informed me that it looks like the alarm remains armed when the trunk is opened. This is obviously...

It's impossible to downgrade Tesla firmware.

I would strongly advise against it. I'm in CH and would give anything to roll back to 12.1.2

Yep

Kids, stop bickering before I bang your heads together. We have a firmware release to discuss.... Now, about this 5 second time limit on auto lane changes here in Europe. Has that tried to kill anyone else yet or just me and my service tech when he tested it in their demo car?

It's rather hard to describe well but let me have a go: After installing 2019.16.2, I took a drive. The first 3 mins was on a city dual carriageway and all was good. I then turned right onto the on-ramp to the motorway. The on-ramp is a 270 degree spiral with a 40kph limit. The car (2018 MS...

I hope so too. Seeing as you are in CH too, you know how crappy it is to get EU regulations enforced on us. Our little island seems to be suffering from rising sea levels...... I hope they sort it very soon. If there was any way to roll back, I would do it in a heartbeat. 16.2 has tried to...

"improvements" You clearly aren't in a European country! Here we got shat on from a great height. Autosteer is now a bloody deathtrap! You wait for the outcry when this disaster goes wide...

Try "Keep Summer safe"

I just installed 16.2 on my 2018 MS 100D with AP2.5 here in Switzerland. No NoA but a severely handicapped EAP now. This version is horrific and it's not going to get better as it's related to a regulatory limitation about how much steering input EAP can perform. It quit half way around a...

Notes to show new, nerfed EAP.

I just received 2019.16.2. I am in Switzerland. EAP now bales out half way through any remotely tight bend in the road. It's bloody terrifying and downright dangerous! If you are in Europe and use EAP on anything other than dead straight motorways, give this one a miss. I know this is...

With pleasure: Here is a truly awfully shot video showing some of the features: Skip to 5 minutes to see the new software download feature and then the nice new chromium browser.

I'm not so sure. I got .12 last Sunday and I have AP2.5 and MCU2.

I have tried both forwards and reverse. Neither works well. It did work in a previous firmware version but that didn't last long. Maybe I'll test again in 6 months and see.....

Sadly, the reverse is still true. Thieves see Teslas as soft targets with rich pickings inside. I hope that sentry mode will change that but it'll also give the game away to thieves too. If they loiter around a Tesla and no 'Sentry mode activated' screen pops up, they know its not recording and...

Yeah, the grinding sound of failure :(

Yes, I gave it all the time it needed. As per usual, it gets to the little lip, tries to climb it for about 1 or 2 seconds then summon aborts and the handbrake goes on. This is 100% the car saying that it feels there is an obstacle in the way.

I confirm that summon on 2018.12 is still as useful as a chocolate teacup. It failed to get over the sub-1" lip into my garage again:

The latest versions of all Tesla firmware has messed with realtime data such as speed clocking. 3rd party app devs will likely find a way to get it back at some point in the future.

I have 2019.12 on my MS in Switzerland. I confirm that there is no dynamic brake lights on any Model S or X anywhere in the world yet. It has landed on the 3s in Europe but no other models yet.

That would be wonderful if it worked on mine. My 1" lip into the garage has defeated summon on both of my Ss for the last 2 years. I am now on 2019.12 so will give it a whirl tonight!

Nope. None of these on my 2018 MS with AP2.5 and MCU2. Maybe next time..... I'd love the supercharger battery warm up before I do on my next 1000km road-trip.

That depends on what smartwatch. For Android Wear, I recommend 'Dashboard for Tesla'. It's not cheap and I'm not the biggest fan of the UI but it integrates nicely with Wear (in app purchase) and it has awesome smart charging (set the charge to finish at a certain time, not start at a certain...

Thanks for the confirmation. I feel very encouraged to see some European countries are getting NoA. I'm grateful for you sharing your experience with it. Now, when will Switzerland allow it..... ?

Are you sure that NoA is available for Model 3 in Germany and Norway. I am 99.9% sure it is not. I believe a handful of test users had it in Europe but I'm almost certain that it's not available to the public. Can you quote your source?

I wouldn't expect so. The 3 has power increase, supercharger preheat (although that should come to S and X like right now!), auto headlights (we've had that for years, man) etc

It seems that it's not easy to get anything related to NoA past the different authorities anywhere outside North America.... It's been a few months and we are waiting (im)patiently.

No NoA or supercharge preheating but a very good improvement on the browser as well as some new games. I particularly like the new update features.

I just got it on my Model S here in Switzerland

Nope, and still nope.

As Mark_T says, if you lease your Tesla, you usually have to perform the maintenances according to their schedule in order to get the guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease. Of course, with the cost of the annual service now skyrocketing, it might be worth not paying the 3 or so grand...

I have a referral award pending for a new set of Arachnids. You can pick the service centre that they should be delivered to, anywhere in EMEA. €3,500 gets you a brand new set, delivered to your choice of Tesla Service Centre and fitted by Tesla. Obviously, they have the TPMS and a nice new set...

You're quite right. I don't see any 2019 versions on S and X in www.ev-fw.com but there are some in TeslaFi. I fear that means TeslaFi is winning the 3rd party app battle. Sad because it's crap and wastes a ton of energy. Hey ho. I shall wait to get a nice 2019 version soon then!

2018.50.6 or 2018.50.7 are bug fix releases that were written to resolve issues where the dashcam was crashing (as well as a few tweaks on Spotify stability). I confirm that .7 has completely resolved my crashing dashcam that I had on 2018.48.12.2. I know this to be true because I was doing the...
