Anyone Know What Improvement are in 2018.12.1 b39b759 ?

[boaterva]

12.1 is a bug fix. I was one of those first 3 Model 3s with 3018.12 and my install failed twice causing me to have to take it to the service center. 12.1 was the fix that corrected the installation problem. The first time it failed, it disabled autopilot. The second time, autopilot worked but the log still showed that the installation failed. While charging afterwards, I was getting a Radick charging for your messages on the app and when I went back to my car, the stereo was blasting at 100% while it was charging. Weird and I hope that that is all now resolved

Also, for what it is worth, the loaner P90D Model S that I’m driving right now just updated this morning to 2018.12 too. It is a 2016 with AP1 hardware.

So 2018.12.1 fixes issues 2018.12 had on 3's. Did you mean that the S got 12 or 12.1? Because 2018.12 has been loading on S and X for the last ten days.... If it's getting 2018.12.1 also, that's interesting.

S and X:

As a follow up, I am driving on a freeway right now and have confirmed that the Autopilot nag time has been reduced to every 1 minute now:-( Not a big deal, but in comparison to every 2 mins in the Model S with AP1, I would prefer the extra time. I would imagine this is the result of changes to the Autopilot code?

The nag time, unless something has really changed, is also dependent on how much you touch the wheel. When we all got 2018.10.4 with the great upgrade to AP, we thought the nag time had decreased. It really hadn't (actually), but it was nagging more because we were touching the wheel less because AP was better.

So, if you take that into consideration, is the nag any different?

My Model X is in the service center. It was running 2018.12 when I dropped it off.

I just got a notification on my phone that a software update was available. . . but I can't tell what it is as I don't have my car.

Don’t get your hopes up... they often reload the current firmware just to be sure you are up to date. I don’t know if this is an automatic geofence/workorder process ‘load latest firmware’ or just a manual process so you don’t complain they didn’t do it!

Bingo - I just got a notification that the firmware was updated: 2018.12.

Yes. It’s worse .

Anyone else get this update on their 3 this week? I keep hoping my car will notify me that a new update is available but so far nothing.

Just got the notification.

Please when you get the updates log them on either TeslaFi or the Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker. Once you sign in you can set them to poll your car automatically so future updates are logged automatically.

Just got the notification.

Jeallooouuussssss

The Tesla app on my iPhone notified me a short while ago that there is a software update available. I'm assuming it is 2018.12.1.

Need another quick action for "DAMMIT WHERE'S MINE", like "informative" "helpful" "like", etc

 

[nvx1977]

i just got the notification a couple hours ago and updated. 12.1.

 

[N8Howell33]

I also got notification and updated as well as updated my ev-fw tracker. 2018.12.1

 

[PoitNarf]

12.1 installed successfully on my Model 3 now. I find it odd that the car will tell you there is an update available but makes no mention of which version it is or what is in it until the update installation has completed. Is this also the case on the S and X?

 

[TexasEV]

yes

 

[RayK]

So I'm still waiting to hear about the ability to disable / control the auto-dimming outside mirrors and to use CHAdeMO chargers with the Model 3. Those were two of the negative things I found on the Turo rental I had a couple of months ago and were (are) supposed to be addressed by an OTA update.

Can't complain too much as I still am not able to configure my car but it's getting close now...

Got the 12.1 notification around 11am on Thursday. Installed it but haven't had a chance to test out the new autopilot scroll-wheel functions.

Having this functionality on the scroll wheel is AWESOME! So glad to have this capability now.

 

[RyanS]

Wow. The new AP scroll wheel is just fantastic. So easy to control. I love it. Much better than MS stalk.
Thank you Tesla for listening and adding this.

But definitely nagging frequency has gone up. Where is my orange?
