I remember reading about fancy turn signals that we can't get in the US a while back.

Range Rovers have had dynamic brake lights in the US for years. My 2014 Range Rover Sport has it.
This is great. I parked my car at home, wife dropped me off at the airport and now I have a software update available

Does anyone know if the faster charging rates made it to this update? There was an article going around about being able to draw ~147KW from a V2 Supercharger as a single user.

Well then, WTF, I guess. Why can’t we have nice things? Wonder if it’s a test in Europe? Reading that turn signal BS, I wonder if there’s some minor detail they violate?
You can have dynamic brake lights by turning on an additional light without blinking it. Also the non dynamic portion of the light must already be big enough to suffice on its own as a compliant brake light....
Also most cars have coding that you can do via diagnostic cables for switching the behavior of the brake lights. I always reprogrammed my Audi to disable start stop and enable dynamic brake lights. Technically not compliant but if it’s the dealership doing it and not the manufacturer no laws are broken
Always (can’t say this enough) the first thing to try. I do this after each firmware load. It’s fixed several issues that appeared with new versions so I now do it on both cars every time. Can’t hurt and does help.

Eek... we have it ready to install tonight on our 3, will see how it goes there. Between this and the charging every two seconds (on the 3 at least) this is going downhill fast.
I assume he knows how to use the hardware. The wacky thing I ran into on our new 3 was when I was plugging in the car for my GF when she got home. If she was still in the car, the wand would not open the chargeport door. I’d never heard of this before, perhaps a new thing assuming if you are in the car you don’t want the next car over at the Supercharger opening your port.
It did open to a tap. I thought the radio part was broken until I waited for her to get out once. Talk about incomplete documentation.

Got the update & used AP On a 4 hr drive. Blind spot works great. Havent seen the red light mode in action yet.
Btw: Had a hiccup on a well defined local road in which my X abruptly steered right heading towards a grassy area. Never did that on previous releases. So....as always, be careful with new releases...never assume it works like the last one
Btw2: after update the vehicle thought it was at Tesla HQ. It quickly changed once I started out of garage.

Had the GPS reset error when I loaded 2019.5.15 also. As soon as it saw the satellites, it was fine. There has to be some coding settings that aren’t being verified that are wrong in these releases. No reason for things like this and the charging issues (1% vs 3%) to suddenly show up..
But is the dynamic feature on all of the brake lights or just the center one? I see lots of cars flash the center brake light, but none flash the left/right ones. Maybe Tesla didn't design it such that they can flash the center light by itself.
