2019.16 Update

[OCR1]

Has anyone received 2019.16 yet? It has not shown up on TeslaFi yet. It looks like they made some significant improvements to Sentry mode.

Tesla releases a bunch of updates to Sentry mode, Driving Visualization, and more

No but I want this version so badly.... location based Sentry Mode and the conditional sign limit is awesome... I wonder if they're using map data or the cameras to start reading the signs finally?!

I'm still stuck on 8.6. This version looks fantastic, plus forced updates??

Have you connected to wi-fi lately?

Have you connected to wi-fi lately?

My garage doesn't have WiFi access (working on that) but I do stop at the Tesla service center and connect as well as my phone hot spot every day

Too bad I don't have 2019.16 so I can request 2019.16.

Yeah.... Looks like this is a phantom release at this point...

Tesla is pushing out 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 pretty hard still today (5/7)...

The article I read indicated it was released to Early Access Program people only.

Yeah I saw that. Is that article based on someone breaking an NDA? I was surprised to see it and realize everyone is still like on 2019.12 something at the most.

Here's Teslarati's article on it (previous link was to Electrek's): Tesla rolls out Driving Visualizations, Sentry Mode upgrades, and more in new update

I just got 2019.12.1.2 a few days ago, I had to use tethering from my phone for it to start downloading the update.
The car WILL NOT download any updates unless connected over WIFI.
Also, I think the "forced updates" are not actually forced, its just that you will be able to see when there is one available to download so that you can connect to a wifi network to start it.
But Tesla will still control who gets it first !

I'm on 2019.12.1.2 but am so looking forward to the 2019.16 update! Auto enabling sentry mode and auto updating software updates would be amazing!

I hope .16 fixes all the bugs I'm finding with .12.1.2. Ever since I got to .12, LTE connectivity is often dropped, Autopilot quit on me entirely for about 3 minutes one drive, playlists in the music streamer aren't playing the songs they used to play (for instance, I have a lot of albums as my favorites and now some albums don't play, it'll take one song and then go to another artists song, etc), the back-up camera black out issue still occasionally occurs, and just yesterday I found that the auto wipers don't come on at all in torrential rain. The wipers worked fine in lighter rain, but in the heavy stuff, they didn't even bother to come on, which is crazy.

I noticed the other day ( T3 with 12.1 ) that the speed limit on the left side of the screen changed just as I passed a speed limit sign. Figured it must be reading speed signs. But then there is a school zone I go through often that it doesn't change the speed limit on the screen, so I dunno. Those signs are higher I think. Maybe height of the sign makes a difference.

12.16 is out

 

[ThrillHouseMD]

It's in a Model 3 in California with 94 miles on it. Maybe a test vehicle?

 

[jbrady3324]

Are the 2019.12.x firmwares not being pushed anymore? I am still stuck on 8.6.1 (I have wifi in my garage)

12.1.3 is also out as of yesterday

There is a report of 2019.16 installed with pictures of the release notes here: Missing features or rollout?

But two of the features that Electrek said would be in it aren't listed.

• Conditional Speed Limits
• Driving Visualization

Could it be that some features are still missing on AP3 hardware cars?

My garage doesn't have WiFi access (working on that) but I do stop at the Tesla service center and connect as well as my phone hot spot every day

Just as a reminder, the ‘stop at Tesla SC to use WiFi’ hasn’t worked in years. You need to be on a service ticket to get the advantage.

Once you get 16 it has the new ‘priority’ feature but you need 16 to get that. Don’t know if that works on LTE, I bet not.

I’d definitely run the hotspot overnight to see if you can get 12 as it was still being sent last I saw. 16 only on a couple of cars in California. 12.x still going as of 30 minutes ago.

Given how many times the first version of a FW had a major bug and they then rushed out a .2 or .3 days or weeks later to patch it, I'm still surprised every time folks want to be "first" to get a new version.
