2017.50.2 3bd9f6d Is out, Easy Entry after belt unbuckle

[boaterva]

17.42 (and 17.42.1) look like the last really full release with over 860 cars on ev-fw. For some reason, nothing has been ‘good’ enough, stable enough, or something else is always getting added to every release since.

Since 17.50(.x) has features that have been publicized and that are tied to app usage it may be they do push this one out full speed. Have to wait a few days and see how it looks on ev-fw and TeslaFi.

Edit: Well, if they want people to appreciate the Easter Egg, it needs to go and now.

Of course, it was delayed by the first 17.50 breaking things and who knows what was wrong with 17.50.1. Did anyone ever hear? I’ve not scoured the forum..

Yep, it appears the flood gates are opening. I just got updated to 50.2, and was on 48 prior. First time I've gotten it on the first day of the release, and judging by the amount of cars already updated, it's rolling full blast.

 

[boaterva]

Yep, 23 on ev-fw and I bet that jumps at the top of the hour when it updates....

I called my local service center and asked them to push the update to my car. Sure enough a few hours later I got a update notification. So it’s worth giving your service center a call! Also what’s up with the new Easter egg? Does it work on the Model S?

That's really only for people who added their API token *and* have started the update on their cars.

I got the message a few hours ago, but only in the last hour went out to the car to start the update. It sure would be nice to be able to start the update from the mobile app.

They're pushing it out pretty hard today. Probably to get the HO HO HO easter egg out to everyone before Xmas.

 

[calisnow]

Is the new Ho Ho Ho mode just for X’s or for S’s too? My S is stuck on .42 - VERY frustrating. My X updated to .52

Life is difficult - only one of your two Teslas has .52 firmware with the "ho ho ho" Easter egg. I feel you man.

Right, I forget everyone isn’t automated. And that was only five people if I count correctly (at 6:00 PM ET).

Still think a lot of people will be getting it by tomorrow, and that’s when Santa flies!

Guess that probably answers that. Elon just tweeted about the Easter Egg. I assume that means this release is on complete full rollout!

Hm, he also says there’s an Easter Egg inside the Easter Egg. Now what...

Rain sensing wipers??

Rain sensing wipers??

Well he says it’s ‘not funny’.... so....

I wonder if it is just that the turn signals make a jingle bells sound instead of the normal blinker sound.

Update clocks in at 353MB, although the car started downloading 52MB prior to that and then mysteriously stopped. Drove it a mile, back in Park and it started downloading the rest straight away.

and here I'm stuck on 2017.46.8 50d6145... ;-)

Don't worry, I'm still on 2017.42

Me too.

That's my hypothesis as well.

 

[boaterva]

That's my hypothesis as well.

Hm... wonder why he calls in one inside the other. I’d call it part of it. Like the Submarine one and Driver changed to Diver.

But we shall see if there’s any more to it. Hope everyone gets it for Christmas Eve!

I received 50.2 today and the app update last night. I enjoy the ho ho ho Easter Egg, but I really want to see the new battery preheat function. With the battery cold, car plugged in and cabin heat turned on via the app, I'm not seeing any indication of battery preheat.
Is anyone seeing this new function yet, or am I doing something wrong?
Edit: I went back to the Play Store and reread the app release notes. It says the temperature needs to be near freezing for battery preheat to turn on. The 45 F that my car is sitting in may not be cold enough.
