Wiki 2021+ Model S Refresh - Missing/Incomplete Software Features

[Tholland]

Omar, any changes to the entertainment on the rear screen? Did they put Disney+ there too?

Yes Disney plus is on the rear screen as well.

 

[Tholland]

It seems serial rollout since I'm staying at 2021.12.4

It’s a rollout in batches. unless it’s a major security fix, which they can push over LTE. If needed of course.

Hey Omar, do you know how to view the dash cam stuff on the screen, or do you have to remove the usb and plug it into a computer?

Yeah - tap on the dock, there is a new icon available for the viewer

Yeah, I see it as an option on the rear screen now--I would assume the rear screen options will just mirror the front screen theater options

 

[Tholland]

This is helpful, seeing that voice commands can sometimes not work, having the button back is nice. Now for it to come to my plaid

When checking to see if Disney+ was showing on the rear screen, I noticed that they seem to have enabled the tri-zone climate control. I can change the temp on the rear screen and it does not mess with the front passenger temps.

Yay, progress.

 

[omarsultan]

Still no headset support for the back screen, but given you can switch the cabin speakers between "media" and "theater", I think it is an OTA update way

Man I'm dying for a 360 camera view. At least the dash cam viewer will be more readily available (haven't received the update yet on my LR). I would love the camera view to automatically show up when parking forward like my wife's Q7

…I can change the temp on the rear screen and it does not mess with the front passenger temps…

Not a software question but on the topic of climate control, I don’t suppose they added vents in the LR or plaid for the “yet to be delivered” new rear facing jump seats.

Nope

I just noticed yesterday that they fixed an annoyance I had with the earlier software.. the browser now seems to keep previously loaded pages in the background when minimized.

On older cars it makes sense to free up the memory used for things like the browser when minimized/closed, but the new AMD platform probably has a decent amount of RAM, so glad to see they now take advantage of it here.

My use case is things like abetterrouteplanner.com. It is pretty annoying to have it do a full reload every time you swap out of the browser and come back, but now it works great!

Yup, found this out the hardway with my wife in the car. My buddy and I were seeing which "videos" would play. 2 days later she wants to google something...oops

Am I the only one the charging port not opening with charger button? It does open if I keep pressing near the port but doesn't work like the model Y did.

If this is the software issue I just can wait but I'll request the service if hardware issue

Software version is 2021.12.4.9

It is a known issue on new Model S. They can run an additional Bluetooth antenna. Had to do it on my Plaid.

Correct they are redesigning the port but there is a temporary fix.

Good to know. Will they fix ours for free once they finish redesigning it?

 

[smf72]

Yes. But the antenna run they did in my plaid works perfectly

Interesting, thought it was just my home charger, because the super charger ones DO work to open the charge port.
