I didn't get the message from my phone, but when I went to the car, it said it had the update ready to install. This is the 2nd time I don't get notifications. Weird. Happy to get the update though. Will have to delay picking up my daughter for 30-40 minutes.
Well I was being a little silly. But yeah, people tend to see what they want to believe, and it seems that with every new macOS update someone says "Safari is snappier"...so much that it's turned into its own meme.
Back to our regularly scheduled wrangling over 8.1. (I don't have it yet, but my AP1 car is doing fine without it. I don't even want any new features, just don't break anything and maybe for bonus points fix some of the more egregious bugs.)

It's easy to find faults with Tesla and our cars, because they do have many. Some make you scratch your head with the lack of logic.
But then I ask myself if I could drive anything else, and the answer is a firm "No". So that buys them a LOT of goodwill. I suppose once I saw them as a bleeding edge tech company rather than a car company, my standards pretty much evaporated because I have no idea what it takes for them to operate, and they seem to at least have good intentions as a company culture. I'm fine as long as they continue to improve.

I am also very happy with how AP1 performs. Not all of the summon promises have been delivered, but autosteer exceeds my original expectations.
That being said, autosteer and summon are both still tagged as beta. That means we should be receiving updates on these features. Whether or not the final release makes any substantive improvements remains to be seen.
FWIW, I use WeatherUnderground on the browser. About 2/3 of the time I'd get the "Can't load this page" error. I tried it a number of times yesterday and it worked every time. Much "snappier!" Was able to load chicagotribune.com for the first time ever.
I got an update last night.
I THINK It is 8.1.
although my phone says I have version 17.11.3.
Drove using AS/TACC for 20 minutes today at 70mph.
Autosteer works better for me. I had one pretty big issue with a somewhat tight highway curve, but it seems much better now.
Dancing lines are significantly better now on the highway. I think having a lane to right and left really helps my car know where my lane is. Car also seems to be more in the "middle" of the lane than it used to. but maybe I'm just used to its position these days.
Also car now takes less right sided off-ramps.
TACC Still has some ghost braking... but now it's a gentle tap, and not a full slam on the brakes event.
Auto lane turn had no problems.
Overall, it's a SIGNIFICANTLY improved situation.

I found the Favorites Radio that has a thumbs up icon. I assume that is where my favorites are being stored. But when I select it, it just gets stuck loading. Anyone else get it to work?
Also, for those who needed calibration, how many miles did it take? I drove 25 miles but still nothing above 55mph

I wonder if this needs more calibration. I tried it right when I first drove this morning and had the same issue. Then, 15 minutes later, tried again and it worked and has worked every time since.
You do need to be going above 36 MPH on a highway for it to work. You do need to have the turn signal on until you are halfway into the other lane.
Are you on a highway or local road? It only works when you see the adjacent lane lines on the hud. When you use the turn signal stalk it changes to a dotted line and changes the lane.
I tried to favorite this post but couldn't because I have HW1 and that feature is coming in the 9.0 update.
