2024.8.7 brings UWB phone key to HW4

[suraj1194]

Received the new software update tonight. I’d been wondering why my Sept 2023 build with HW4 didn’t get the UWB phone key feature and voila, it shows up in this update.

Needs the up to date phone app. It only showed me the upgrade option on the app when I toggled Bluetooth off and back on.

Good to know. I’m on 2024.8.4, so hopefully I get that one soon

Just got it enabled on mine

Is this not available for HW3 Model S's? Would be really weird, given it's available for Model X with HW3

About effin time. Crazy how us "flagship" Model S owners have to wait for new features.

My December 2023 MSLR has not gone through any updates since I took delivery. I am still on 2023.44.30. My October 2023 MX Plaid is on 2024.8.4 and has UWB.

Not sure why I haven’t go any updates for my MS. My App version is v4.31.0-2552

 

[suraj1194]

That’s the right app version.

When I got the first S, it was the only Tesla model around in any significant number, ignoring the Roadster. It was a nice friendly community and everything.

Now though... I live in dread of someone coming and asking me why my car doesn't look like a regular Model 3.

 

[tesltoronto]

Raised a Service Request and they updated to 2024.7.2. They claim that is the latest version for the MSLR December 2023. Weird.

My 22 Plaid is also on v11.1 2024.2.7 - says it’s up to date on the car as of today

 

[suraj1194]

Not sure if it helps but I’m on basic autopilot and the Advanced software update toggle setting as opposed to the standard one . Maybe it gets scheduled differently if you’re on EAP or FSD .

I’ve gotten software updates multiple times this year already .

 

[tesltoronto]

I was on trial FSD till middle of March. Am on Advanced too. But in any case, the SC sent me the update for 2024.2.7 but no UWB. My X has it though.

 

[vcor]

My understanding is those with FSD beta do not get the latest general releases and are often 4-5 months behind. With 12.3 FSD, the related main version is going to be near 2023.44.30 (I got 2023.44.30.25 about a week ago).

Really need to read the release notes. It clearly says for now UBW is only available on model X and new model 3. Others to follow.

No Tesla release notes mention the specific models.

This article is the first report to my knowledge, and it mentioned only the new model 3 and 2023 X Tesla Update 2024.2.3 Is Improving Phone Keys By Adding Ultra-Wideband Support

I know for a fact that a 2021 and 2022 Xs also got it around that time. And since the S has the same hardware, it was reasonable to expect that to get it to. It's not like Tesla themselves told us anything.

It’s also available on my HW3 Model S running 2024.8.7… but yeah it’s not included in the FSD beta branches

on beta branch and still waiting too. feel like we're being penalized for being on the beta branch always being behind on features.
