Anyone got 2018.12 beta yet?

[yli319]

updated to 2018.12 for 2-3 days. got into car today, i was surprised that it automatically upgraded navigation. Forgot to take pitcture, but i believe its downloading itself after upgraded to 2018.12, and depending on internet connection.

Location: Canada

I read somewhere you will receive a map update notification in the vehicle but you will not get notified via the Tesla app.

...waiting 2018.12 and maps...

And waiting for the new update, I recommend spending time like this:

Same as upgrading software, you will have release note appears when starting the car. But it wont push software update notification to your phone. The version # stay same, no change.

On the release note, it says new navigation something then beta. Im going to take a picture on release note later on.

Attached release note:

Got in my car this morning and it had the map release notes. In addition to the notes when navigating it now says Tesla Beta Navigation.

Been in n .12 for over a week and still no updated nav. I was greeted with a “Touchscreen unresponsive. Please press scroll wheels...” message this morning though.

I just went from 2018.10 to 2018.14 release notes had easier access to owner’s manual, passive entry disabled by default, and rear and front trunk remote opening. No obvious unlisted differences yet.

Tried the new navigation beta today on my commute and it now closely resembles (i.e. is almost identical) to what I get in Waze on my phone. Initially still a tad optimistic on arrival times (by a couple of minutes or so), but much, much better than before ..YMMV

That's super exciting to me. I just tried the old Navigon maps today with re-route set to 5 minutes, told me a route including San Tomas to 101 to Central Expressway to Lawrence. Dumbest set of roads to attempt to switch between when it comes to rush hour traffic. Took 50 minutes to get to work when my usual sensible route is 25 minutes. And that is the last time I do that for science. Wanted a good baseline for when I get the new maps

Been in n .12 for over a week and still no updated nav. I was greeted with a “Touchscreen unresponsive. Please press scroll wheels...” message this morning though.

I saw that message during the firmware update process. Came back to the car after the update was done - saw no new release notes (although the old notes were available via the T --> link). The message was gone. Hopefully for good.

What's missing? Well, media is still very broken - even neverminding the abhorrent interface since v*.8.x, Tunein podcasts haven't played for months. Rumor has it this is fixed in *.14 - so probably another month before that gets around to my car. And of course no nav update but given that it replaces Navigon's very helpful IC interface with some beta version of something else, I'm in no rush for that. Actually I have no idea of how I would get it because as a rule, the car is never connected via WiFi. Heh.

I'd like to see how *.14 improves the MCU(1) as it would be refreshing to not have to immediately plunk down $2500 for MCU2. Either way - in this car or the AP1 replacement for it as soon as that materializes, MCU2 has a lot of upside* if half the scuttlebutt is true. Yes, I'm going back to an AP1 car since Elon has said we won't get FSD across the board until the end of 2019. Enough is enough.

* Well, upside for MCU2 when taken in context. Pipe dream alert: in ~5 years, the combination of a faster MCU and, say, 5G will offer some cool possibilities. Finally.

Nope, still no update to .14. I got the error again this morning and had to reboot.

I live in SF and drive down to Santa Clara often. Waze usually gave me one of two routes, the first straight down 101, and the second down 280, cutting across on Wolfe to Central and then down further to Lafayette where I get off. The new nav today just gave me the 101 option but predicted the arrival time to within 2 minutes of actual, even though during the trip it varied quite a bit, depending on traffic conditions. Never suggested any alternative ...Trying again tomorrow shifting the window into a heavier traffic time..

My car skipped 2018.12 and went straight from 10.6 to 14 tonight. No new maps yet.

My maps came 12 hours after I updated to .12, yesterday.

I’ve been stuck on .4 for a month now almost and I wouldn’t mind knowing why.... unless I already know why.

Is it mandatory to be on WiFi to download updates or does it matter? I disconnected from my WiFi because my old router had problems. Just connected it to my new one.. should I expect a difference as a result?

 

[Naekuh]

i got a notifcation last night that an update was available.

i am on the 2018.12 so i assume its .14

and my car is at the detailer getting a xpel done, so its not on Wifi.
So i assume Wifi has very little determination on if your getting an update or not.

You can always take your car to a service center and ask them to hot install it, however we have this saying in the PC Overclocking community when it comes to motherboards.

If you DONT notice ANYTHING broken, DONT UPGRADE the BIOS.
Because a good chance you will NOTICE something broken after you flashed that BIOS.

Front motor seems to now be on 100% from a stop regardless of range mode setting. No new nav.

How does one know if the front motor is on or not?
