2020.8.1

Looks like they are pushing it out pretty hard... 1k+ downloads on Teslafi today.

I just got it... LR RWD.

Received my update today. Busy day for updates apparently. I noticed some things on the test drive that were new to me. First, when NoAP is engaged the map view goes to a 3D version of heading up. Is that new or am I just tuning in on it? Looks pretty cool. The 3D version only works on NoAP though, not on manual Nav or on AP without Nav. Also, lane changes are less abrupt. Definite, but smoother. Before 2020.4 lane changes were too tentative for my liking. After 2020.4 they were more definite, but also a little too abrupt. They seem to be just right now.

Ah my car now on 2020.8.1 wont recognize fat32 hdd (worked before) now reformatted it with exFat (+TeslaCam folder) still inst working?

I reformatted my drive as well as exFAT and recreated the TeslaCam folder and it isn’t being detected anymore.

If you recently had a HW2.5 -> FSD computer upgrade, the new computer likely had an older version of maps.
Happened to me last week. I used to have 2019.20 maps on HW2.5, then after the FSD upgrade, it showed 2019.6.
Service tech said I needed to complete the maps update back to 2019.20 before I could receive 2020.8.1, and he was right.

I was downloading the navigation update but had to drive somewhere so the update paused. I got back to my car and it tried downloading 8.1 again and I thought it wouldn’t work again but it did. Didn’t need the navigation update

Not a single standard range plus yet. Damn! Lol

I didn’t get the notification but when inside the car, clicked on Software and it identified update is available, downloaded and installed it on my SR+

 

[YusufT]

Updated finally, my SSD on FAT32 still works properly unlike what others are reporting.

 

[McFlurri]

My update is stuck at 100% lol

I reformatted as fat32 but still "USB drive is not accessible by Dashcam" even though this drive has worked for 6 months.

Tesla is not going to pay Apple a licensing fees, and has been pretty open about this. You are better off asking for improvements to the existing software.

What a bunch of crap.

Apple doesn’t charge automakers anything for CarPlay

I have a 2018 LR RW drive care that had its computer recently updated to HW3. I have not received the 8.1 update, but don't know if it is because I don't have the latest maps. How can you tell what version of maps you currently have?

Odd, after I put my flash drive back to FAT32 and recreated the TeslaCam folder it started working again immediately.

"cost" is more than "money"

(and I thought this thread was squarely in step 6 / 7 of my chart above, but is now sliding back to step 5)

But he didn't say CarPlay. He said Apple Music playlists, many of which are curated by Apple.

... Didn’t need the navigation update

Same here ...

I'd prefer they charge money vs the requirements they make the vendors adhere to for carplay viability.

I've never seen half-integration of Carplay in any unit. So in other words, if you want Carplay, you might as well turn off the Tesla screen and have it be all Apple. Not going to happen - or be acceptable to the consumers (as Tesla owners).

If I'm wrong, then great, but that would be one heck of an agreement between Tesla and Apple.

No problems here with the dashcam (micro SD card with USB adapter, FAT32 formatted).

I don't see any 3rd party chargers on the map, even though the release notes say there should be some in the Bay Area. I assume it's just the few EVGo stations with integrated Chademo adapter?

Here's an example of Carplay running in a window. That's from a Volvo XC90 from 2016.

Thanks for that. My point still stands, unfortunately. I don't think anyone wants that awful interface to replace our maps.

I think if Tesla wanted to, it would not be a problem at all for them to run Carplay in a window similar to the media options (perhaps even resizable).
