2018.10.5 Arrived

[ℬête Noire]

BLE will open the app in the background when it acquires its paired endpoint. I.e. even if Tesla is terminated, the car connecting to the phone should start it. So termination is not the issue here.

Oh, you are correct I'm running on old info. Apples has added Bluetooth wake-up functionality (to swap back into RAM) to iOS for Bluetooth LE. So the Model 3 is using BLE aspect of BT, correct? It could be Tesla making bad assumptions about delays when waking?

EDIT: An iOS app is also responsible for handling events for getting moved around in these state changes, Tesla's code might be having issues there?

Yes the key functinality is done through bluetooth LE, otherwise it would murder phone batteries. Like you say, I suspect there are some bugs on Tesla’s side of things.

Now, go test EAP and see if it's same as 10.4 on the S/X

how would i know?

 

[Cnasty]

Hmmmmmm, I havent gotten one update since taking delivery of the car.

No wifi or bad cell reception may be a culprit i assume.

Agree! So many positive things about the EAP update on the S/X forums.... Does 10.5 bring them to the M3?

 

[SigNC]

how would i know?

Less lane seeking, more stability and confidence in areas it previously struggled are the big ones. Smooth transition during lane changes as well.

Interesting. I thought I had read the wi-fi isn't active yet or that it would only connect at the SC. Perhaps if you park it in an area with decent LTE coverage it would connect and download?

Of course I'm not an owner - haven't even received my invite yet - but who knows.

Yea I would think so as well unless i am at the back of the line for updates. No wifi yet is confirmed and true. I meant since there is no wifi it wouldnt work at my house possibly as my LTE is spotty sometimes.

 

[Skidmark]

LTE is fine at my home, but I haven't gotten any update notification. I'm on 2018.4.17

That is a pretty recent update.

 

[2virgule5]

Just got it installed - fixed a few things including key card & phone not recognized this morning (had to open the car through App, impossible to restore the phone connection...).

Backup camera now has a 16:9 format or so instead of being square, so things appear with the right proportions.

And... after 10 min drive on AP on a local road I think we now have the new Neural Net S & X owners have been enjoying lately. Lanes are locked more quickly, no woobling lanes on screen, less ping pong and it took an S curve better than what it typically does. Not 100% sure yet but will figure it out tomorrow during my long commute.

 

[Sweni]

Just got 2018.10.5 tonight as well. Same as everyone else reporting. Will be able to test out the EAP tomorrow.

 

[buttershrimp]

Just got a push notification and installed it. Includes unlocking "improvements" and rearranged touch screen icons.

Man the Model 3 is a cool car.

 

[SlicedBr3ad]

You will know if eap is working if you're able to take 99.9% of curves with speed limit set at 35mph (and up). I've not seen any videos of new (aka 10.4) eap on slower roads with tighter turns.

A physical key fob may be the only solution for the short term.

How come the physical card key isn't adequate as a fail-safe? I'm confused as to what a traditional key fob would achieve that the card key is failing to achieve.

Unlocking the car/popping the trunk when you walk up to it.

With the card you have to get out the card, tap it on the pillar, open the door, get in, use the touch screen to pop the trunk, get back out, and then put your stuff in the trunk

Ah gotcha. That's ridiculous (these days). Thanks.
This is (another) great example of why there's no chance my wife is going to early adopt the 3 with me. I really need this sort of nonsense ironed out by the time Y is released, so I can get her into a Tesla via Y, and say goodbye to gasoline 100%. To move backward on the standard entry-level luxury car feature set is simply not a way to get skeptics to adopt. Granted, there's an order book of ~400k early adopters ready to go, so Tesla has plenty of time to get the feature set to par (and beyond).

how would i know?

Drive into a tree and see if the car stops

So funny because my wife was the same way - and then I bought me a Tesla.

She drove it. She took my Tesla.

Your wife will love it. I guarantee it.

That's my deepest fear, the nightmare that wakes me in a cold sweat. Even upon walking it feels real, impending, ripe upon the air. Then I calm myself, reassured by my wife's deep love of her XM radio. As long as Tesla didn't tuck in hardware for Sirius and patch in support down the line, it'll be okay. It'll all be okay.
