2018.20

Unless and until a passenger can go to tesla.com and configure their new Tesla via the Design Studio from end to end, the browser remains not ready for prime time. Displaying PDFs would also be nice. Don't care about video. As it stands, Lynx is more functional. Bonus points for anyone who even remembers Lynx.

Hold on.... *puts on blind optimism hat*

Maybe this is like how 2018.10 was boring, but 2018.10.4 suddenly dropped the new neural net! 2018.20.4 is gonna be the huge new release.

You could make a lot of money with those hats hereabouts, senor.

I still remember links!

I know what lynx is, a WNBA team, I don't see what that has to do with kernels and linuxes and internets.

I used that in my high school! Just tried it, still works for your beloved webpage:

Gotta love it. That's a great screenshot.

High school? *twitch*.

However, I'll bet you a lug nut cover, not including postage, that even the venerable Lynx won't make it all the way through the workflow, selecting options as one would, up to and through the credit card page .

When my phone can make it further than the in-car browser, even with MCU2, there's an opportunity for improvement thereabouts.

Arguably starting with the Design Studio workflow, admittedly, for greater platform accessibility, but still.

I thought someone showed that the new version of the browser does work enough that you can order a Tesla with it.

That really should not be the benchmark

Does anyone else with AP2 have auto lane change on surface streets?

Been reading on Facebook some reports of people claiming that 2018.20 is allowing cars with AP2 or AP2.5 to perform auto lane change on normal surface streets (not just highways), much like AP1 cars have been able to. Any truth to this?

Some - it's not dependend on the firmware version. Mine started doing that yesterday, still on 2018.18.

No. I would imagine it would be dependent upon how certain streets, boulevards, county and state routes are identified (tagged) as much as upon any firmware change.

I did a spot check around the US, Netherlands, and Norway, and did not see any tile changes in the /live/ area. Still 2017-03 or 2017-05 depending on if you're in the EU or US. So, either they now have a new URL of tiles, or this is just one of those feature flags that gets pushed down.

How about that NAV update? lol

 

[Daniellane]

By chance do you have the newer MCU? (I think it is a MCU1 vs. MCU2 thing.)

I am on 2018.20 with MCU2 and can confirm that EQ max is still 8.

I may have read someone say it went to 12 after an MCU reboot... but I may be dreaming. Either way it's worth a shot?

My 75D has 2018.20 and with MCU1 I show the EQ goes to +12/-12 and sounds MUCH better than 2018.14.2

The DSP got tweaked after 2018.14.2 so the sound changed even without adjusting equaliser settings too.

Set all to max 8 - then rebooted.
8 is still max after reboot.
MCU2 with emmersive Sound seems to parallel Model 3 not MCU1.

I’ve found that when I approach from the front, the mirrors don’t open until I hit the brakes. I think they still open when I approach from the rear though

 

[dgatwood]

Hallelujah. They finally fixed the browser's broken TLS support, so Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and State Farm websites actually load.

No. I would imagine it would be dependent upon how certain streets, boulevards, county and state routes are identified (tagged) as much as upon any firmware change.

Of course it only works for those streets that are tagged as being suitable for auto-lane-change. Just as with AP1. But previously auto-lane-change worked for AP2+ cars only on the Autobahn (or compareable streets), but not at all on 'Kraftfahrstraßen'.

Now it works for some AP2+ cars, but not for others.

And it's not purely a firmware version change, because cars on the same version behave different. Also it started to work from one day to the next, without a software update being installed. There will probably be a minimum version you have to have in order for it to work.

@whttiger25 It's also not tied to the Nav update. My car doesn't have that.

So there must be at least three different kinds that Tesla can control on a per car basis:
- firmware version
- Nav update
- configuration values
