It also indicates over the next several months... I wouldn't hold my breath. We are still waiting for an EAP branch promised 1 year ago in 3 months maybe, six months definitely...

Not to mention the tweet mentions nothing about EAP functions either....

Well, the tweet was in response to a specific list of demands. The previous tweet was not asking about AP. So that does not preclude the possibility that 8.2 would also include some AP improvements.

It seems like circumstantially, the repeater cameras seem logical as the next things to come online. Indeed "in the next months" is pretty much the longest timeframe Elon is capable of grasping, so I definitely wouldn't hold my breath. But it seems like improving blind spot sensing via the repeater cams is the least risky new feature they can offer.

How about the feature of the Navigation system transitioning from one interstate to another automatically. We were promised this 3 to 6 months ago. Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, Say No More!

We also need lane change on secondary roads for AP2 cars and Automatic Emergency Braking to a full stop like most other major car brands have now. Elon needs to give us new features instead of Easter Eggs and bug fixes.

I would love those things too but they’re also higher risk in terms of what could happen if things go wrong.

A passive feature like blind spot indication seems low risk to offer even if it’s not perfect

Its almost laughable that a car billed as one of the most technologically advanced on the market has all the capability of blind spot detection yet doesn't provide it when a $17000 Hyundai does. If fact almost any car over $20k can have the large majority of the 'Autopilot' features that a Tesla has.

As @S85D said, its okay though because we will soon get frogger on the touchscreen.

Wait, so when the blind spot indication doesn't tell me that there is a car in my blindspot and I crash into them, because I got no warning, that's a low risk?

Granted a lower risk then having no warning as we do now I guess....

 

[Asterix187]

Or higher if the dimwit SOLELY relies on it.

Next people will be blaming their 'self driving' tesla when they crash because it was on Autopilot...

I owned a AP1 car and it had lane change on secondary roads so I don't think that is a huge safety risk for it to be added to AP2 cars.

Interstate to Interstate transition was promised by Elon when we got the next major Nav update many months ago. It is definitely risker if the car needs to move multiple lanes to be able to exit for the transition. Tesla could do baby steps by saying you had to be in the lane closest to the exit.

I love my Tesla and like Elon, I just want some new features other than remotely opening the Frunk/Trunk which I can already do on my key Fob.

I wonder to what extent they can use the ultrasonics to validate the camera based blind spot recognition. Can they use them to measure the false negatives from the cameras to gain confidence before deploying EAP auto lane change?

I can't wait for the new Maps!!! on 2018.18 and have a service visit booked for Friday so hopefully they can push some sort of update.

In my AP1 S85D, a car could move all the way up to the back of my driver's door before the blind spot detection came on. I don't know if it has been fixed on AP1 cars but that was a huge risk of running into a car during lane changes.

The AP2 cars are better but it would be even better if Tesla turned on the side cameras.

From reading prior posts, the SC will not push the new maps, but will only push the latest firmware update. I had my car serviced and a few hours after I installed the firmware update, I got the new maps.

 

[Asterix187]

I am on a firmware version that supports the new maps but unfortunately I am in the UK so only a few cars over here have actually got the maps. Shame really.

Better blind spot in the first mention of version 8.2...

Elon Musk on Twitter

I wish someone asked him if the X will also get the blindspot update...and if it differs between AP1/AP2.

Someone did, but he didn't answer. (Well they didn't ask about the AP1/AP2 difference.)

 

[BigD0g]

I wish someone would ask where the heck is EAP and stopping reliably for untracked cars on an earnings call or something of meaning over twitter rants... perhaps at the shareholders meeting next week.

It will happen. You know how Tesla is: they miss deadlines at first but when they do succeed at something, it's amazing. We Tesla fans are constantly swinging back and forth between frustration/impatience and awestruck amazement.

Awestruck amazement at my frustrating impatience.
