2018.50.6

[Bill Price]

Just got this update the other day and am confused somewhat, as to the architecture of the update numbers? I thought the first four were the year of version 9, followed by the week and day with other minor modifications following. Obviously, we are in 2019, so why would the update not show 2019? I show the first car to receive this update received it on 1/22/2019..........so why would the update not show the nomenclature of 2019.4.3 being year 2019, 4th week of the year, 3rd day?

The version if from when the software was built. They (Tesla) probably test their software internally before it gets released to us.
So 2018.50 means software was built in week 50 in 2018, and the last number is just a counter, like .1 .2 .3 for bug fix versions of that version. The characters after the version e.g. 4ec03ed is most likely the commit hash in their software versioning system.

I can't tell you. I haven't driven the car yet since the update a few days ago. Perhaps someone else has an answer. One thing I DO know is that Tesla seems to be pushing this update out to almost everyone like they did with 2018.46.12.1 back in December, so if you don't have it now, you probably will within a week or so.

Trying to keep the SW releases from cluttering the forum, always search for a version.X thread before creating one. If you dont see one, then create one with the title similar to this one:

Software Update 2018.50.x

I pray it fixes my not being able to super charge. Since November v9 i have been unable to charge at every OLD gen 1 thru 4 charger.
Tesla has done zero to fix my and others problem. They dont care about the antique cars and customers one twit. V9 for S is junk sw, never tested on old cars.
