2019.40.50.5 installing now

[hugh_jassol]

Or don't bug fixes work this way?

Tesla's software rollouts don't work this way. It's kinda like this... every VIN in a database at Tesla along with what version of the software they expect that car to have. The car connects to Tesla, the database is checked, and if the currently installed version is the same as the database version, nothing is downloaded. IF not, the database version is downloaded.

As we know, they don't update every single car at the same moment. They roll it out over a few days/weeks. So If my car has x.x.1, even though x.x.3 might be rolling out to some, when my car checks, it might get x.x.2 is the expected current version for my car, and do an update to an "older" version.

This isn't like Apple where when the new iOS drops, every single device will show that new on as the "current" one.

Folks, the third digit is ALWAYS "just bug fixes" the release notes are ALWAYS the same. Why is this news every. single. time.?

Really living up to your name I see. LOL!

Its pretty safe to say that any release/update that does not have release notes is going to be bug fixes, or some sort of patch for the last major release.

I realise that, but why continue rolling out a bugged version when there is a fixed version available? You would think they would stop rolling a bugged version, and roll out the version with the fixes instead? If the bugged version caused problems, then Tesla are negligent as they continued to roll out a version with known issues when an alternative version is available.

I suspect there are more than bug fixes being rolled out and minor versions give them an opportunity to do comparative tests between fundamentally the same code base.

I'm guessing it's because the bugs may not be applicable to all configurations of the car. For example, the bug fixes could be for FSD features only, or dual motor configs, etc.

And of course, like you said they may be trialing bug fixes/changes and need a sufficient pool of both in order to compare.

I am currently updating from 2019.40.50.1 on hw3 model 3

 

[M_D129]

Updated here from 2019.40.50.5

2019 Model 3, LR, FSD, 2.5HW

I just got it in California and it fixed the voice command feature. So I agree with the consensus of this fixing bugs.

 

[Kennymb5384]

Voice commands are so much better after 50.5, but I notice some are not working, or I don’t know the proper commands. I cannot get any of the menus to open, and I can no longer get the rear camera to open...

drove 50.5 today and found that AP seems to ping pong less trying to avoid driving next to trucks etc.
It seems to stay much closer to the center of the lane which much less wandering around.
@VanillaAir_UK I'm supposing that the cars getting older versions are for configurations that prefer the older configs or aren't exhibiting bugs fixed in this release but maybe are exercising features that work better in the release they are getting.
Remember that with this development model not every release is automatically fixing everything in the previous release, so maybe 40.x fixed bug A but 50.x fixed bug B and not bug A, then at some point in the future they will be merged a a new version.
You will also see releases go out to just Model 3 or just Model S/X etc

I noticed today after upgrading to 50.5 a couple of days ago that my battery range dropped quite a bit. Through Teslafi with the previous release I was around 312 miles max range and now it's at 303 miles.

 

[Kmartyn]

I barely got to drive 50.5, before it bumped to 50.7!
They sure finished the year with a lot of updates.
I cannot imagine any other automotive company putting this much effort into software.

I haven’t measured my range, but I feel like it’s draining faster than usual. I am losing like 3-4% after driving one mile...

If you're basing this on the first mile or two, that's always the case in cold weather

Yeah, normally I would say weather, but it’s been cold here, or at least the same temp for the last month or two and it feels like it just started in the last couple weeks. Not crazy, so I’ll monitor it and hope it’s just the weather catching up.

 

[LA-Foal]

I haven't really measured the wh/mile usage but the battery report I got from Teslafi. In general I have seen slight ups and downs after my daily charges but with the installation of the 50.5 it really dropped within 2 days by 9 miles max range with is a lot compared to what I've seen over the 14 months that I own my Model 3. In particular the first night after installing I didn't charge the battery so this comes from the software upgrade itself. I have seem something similar back in May or June last year when the range dropped from 310s under 300 but eventually it recovered again. I hope this will be the same with the next upgrades.

Does your MX have MCU 1 or MCU 2?

How would I figure that out?

 

[Jamison]

Folks, the third digit is ALWAYS "just bug fixes" the release notes are ALWAYS the same. Why is this news every. single. time.?

Maybe because some of us just got Tesla's and need to learn this for the first time. Patience. You can easily ignore a post or thread.

 

[Jamison]

Of note, my MX with HW 2.5 recently got 2019.40.50.7. Just relevant in that HW 2.5 is getting updates as well.

If you can watch Netflix, you have MCU 2.
