After 4 months, all I get is Fire and Farts

[Haxster]

I've been anticipating an update from 2018.42.2 since last October.
Today I got one: 2018.50.6.
Now I can see fire on the screen and play fart noises.
Is this a luxury car or a dorm room?

I would assume most of the work has gone in to the things you don’t really see, like the autopilot neural net and the new maps backend.

The farts and fire (and Atari!) are just the bedazzled stuff for us to play with.

I was just noting today it’s been quite the dry spell between software releases. The great majority of the fleet is still on 2018.50.

According to Tesla’s CET 3-15-2019 is supposed to be a fleet-wide release

My Wifes 2.5 year old Cadillac hasn't gotten a single update since we leased it...
In fact if I want Map Updates I'd have to pay for it & take it in to the dealer.

... and for the passengers while your FSD car is making you money while driving for the Tesla Ride Sharing Network. It's almost 3 years now since Tesla started selling this option, surely it must be just around the corner.

My favorite is the lunar module, where my 10yo operates the thrusters and we land it with me using the steering wheel.

And wife says I am just an excessively funded kid in a big body. Would not have it any other way.

Be grateful it takes you 4 months to get farts. Some getem every day

I miss the old days when software updates actually provided new features and improvements. Now, I dread every update in fear of what they are going to screw up or take away this time..

I still miss color maps and hate the new location of seat/steering wheel heat control.

The new maps are absolutely useless.
I used the old google maps to see if there’s going to be traffic on my route.
Now I can’t do that
Back to using google maps on my phone I guess

So far the "Useless" Maps picks the EXACT same route as Google, Every time...

I concur. About the only issue I have with Maps and Nav is lack of waypoints.

I don’t use the navigation
I just had maps open full screen to see the traffic conditions on my route.
40 mile commute to work is mostly freeway, I liked seeing if there’s an accident backing up traffic

New Maps shows this as Orange or Red Highlights.
I think you have it turned off.
Click the Map & I think it looks like a Traffic Light to Enable.

I'd like to see Route Options like Google Maps.
Many times I'll pick the Simple Route if the Suggested Route only saves a few Minutes.

Not always. I’ve been stuck in traffic and the map showed nothing.
The old google maps was way better, this is just useless

Well does for me always, not sure why it wouldn't for you???
Most GM Cars are far worse for Maps. My 2014 Vette & Wife's 2018 Cadillac included

Fantastic, I don’t own a GM car so I don’t see what GM cars have to do with my valid complaint about tesla taking a step backwards in the maps category.

Second this. Just because new maps does not show red/orange means either traffic isn't updated or there is no traffic. I have come across numerous times traffic never updated. At least green gave a visual confirmation. Another reason I hate v9.

I just got 2019.5.15 and thankfully they changed the tabbed HVAC interface onto one screen. Still hate that the fan comes on if you want to access the menu. The UI designers should be forced to actually drive and operate these at the same time! Why don’t we have voice control for heater functions anyway?

But I do agree with the OP ... less Easter Eggs, more actual features/ bug fixes!
