My theory is Elon sends these tweets out to amuse himself. It's his only form of entertainment to read all the comments from people like us who have nothing more important in their lives than to dissect hidden meaning from every word about firmware updates. Remember the convoluted math puzzles pointing to stock split on 12/9?
He ended up working for local news and has a sign hanging up in his cubicle "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story that will lead."
Same here, still on beta, and was driving through an empty parking lot today and the auto park option came up. It just won't let you use it if cars are within 100 yards
Cumulative in terms of features, yea. I was referring to the packaging and delivery of the OS itself though.
I see, from what I understood was that the beta branch is different from the public and those in the queue get locked to a certain build till they get the beta. I recall the unreleased 10.7 was 2021.44.5.5 which would make 2021.44.6 ahead of it. Unless the 10.8 beta build is based on 2021.44.6.x hence why I was confused as to why my car was updated to 44.6 while queued for the beta.
It would be nice for this to be true. Especially for the "lucky" folk still on 10.5 Beta (like me,
).Why in the world would you have expected any kind of wide scale rollout at midnight EST? They have all been rolled out in incremental waves starting at pacific time not EST. Besides Elon said "probably" and experience tells us it will take time so just be patient. Why set yourself up for disappointment?
Why is everyone so caught up on the time I mentioned lolol. I was simply saying that’s my current time and my patience ran out for the night so I’m going to sleep. I didn’t expect a release at midnight, I was hoping for it to be on time for once, which would be anytime on Tuesday.
I want 10.8 so maybe I can finally use FSD with my girl in the car without it making her nauseous. The sugar Nintendo games I can do without. Starting to sound like “console quality games” are going to be game boy quality games
Unless Tesla has changed things, the update process only sends the differences between the version you have and the version you are going to. (So each car could have a different update package.)
You may be right but I have a hard time believing that is how they are doing it. Seems insanely work intensive.
That's not how software releases are done. From what I can see, Tesla's branching strategy is to cut production branches off of a master, which is cumulative of all tested features. Each production branch is a complete collection of the OS and all features deemed ready for that release. Regardless of what version an individual car is currently on, the new release can be applied and replace what was on there.
You may be slightly mixing up the software build process from the delivery mechanism. It’s possible that Tesla uses deltas between versions to reduce bandwidth when they send out updates. Those would not be car specific but rather version specific as in M3 2021.36.5 -> M3 2021.46.5. The car would then ‘assemble’ the new release from the version it has plus the delta. There would be some type of checksum process as well to verify that the end result is right. If a vehicle was on a way off track release, it may just have to pull down the whole thing. It’s also entirely possible that they don’t do anything like that.
