7.0 in Australia

[lennier]

I hope we don't end up in a position where we can't have what we have been convinced to purchase.
Strange how the US regulators made it in time but no-one else did.

Yes that would be bad.. Seems unlikely though since there's nothing in Autopilot that doesn't basically exist already in other cars and has done for some time.

Will the Sydney/Melbourne Service Centres be the first to know when 7.0 arrives in Australia, so they can install on new cars?
Or are they clueless like the rest of us and have to wait for OTA?
If its dependant on a local controlling body, who would that be?

Federal Department of Transport, or whatever their equivalent name is this week (has also gone by the acronym DOTARS). I suspect Tesla only recently applied to all other countries, so we might be in for a wait.

Can't say I'm aware of a car in Australia that lets you drive endlessly without holding or regularly touching the steering wheel.

No but it depends if they make that distinction from other cars with lane keeping. Hopefully they don't delve that deep or if they do that Tesla has opened this dialog a long time ago!

Soooo good to see that!

Great song! Reminds me of the good old days....

I like the clean look. New UI is great. And apparently more changes coming to that in 7.1.

Autopilot worked in stop start traffic but was a bit jerky with steering and deceleration was a bit abrupt. Maybe I need to increase following distance.

Vehicle hold is brilliant.

I'm missing the date and time display and (slightly) the odometer.

Lot of wasted central real estate though. I get that is meant to be the lanes either side, but if TACC is not engaged, why do you need it? And yes, I DO want the temp time and date permanently displayed in the instrument cluster. In fact I also want an interior temp display. The data is available since it comes up in the app.

No.

Time and temperature now on the main screen menu bar unless you choose to have the clock on the dashboard (that includes temperature as well).

Is there a tyre pressure app on the small screen?

So LGGD, when did you notice you had the update and how long did it take to install?
I haven't received any updates since getting the car, I'm on 6.2 (2.5.21)

Today. I didn't take note of how long it took. Less than 2 hours for sure.

Still no browser or homelink, I see. Interesting that you received it in the usual way. I guess we are not part of " Asia" then.

Hey thanks for taking the time to share this. Can you please tell us if you had your car connected to wifi or via the 3G connection when you got the update?

Make sure you point your car towards California for faster downloads.
