AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

[RobK]

Good news! After I jiggled the connector the car held 40 AMPS setting. Lat night I set the car to charge at midnight and it had finished charging at 4:50 AM.

Have anyone been able to charge at 50 AMPs at home?

Glad to hear it worked!

Charging at higher amps:
If your car, your home, and your wall connector all support 50 amps and above, it’s possible. But all of those conditions must be met.
From what you originally described, I think your car maxes out at 40 amps.

He's using the mobile charger, if its v1 it believe it only maxes out at 40 amps regardless of the breaker size. But really this isn't the thread to educate yourself on home charging. It's been a thing discussed for many years and you can find tons of that info elsewhere on this forum.

Ah hem. Back to AP1 firmware information:

2020.12.11.5 fixes the USB problem, if you were foolish like me and updated 2020.12.5
Don’t know anything else yet but I think I will wait a while before downloading the next one; but I’ve said that before....

 

[aesculus]

Every few days I get an alert on my app that says a SW update is available and each time it's still 12.5.

Now I know what the look for.

I was stuck with 12.5 for about 2 weeks, but I switched to advanced release and got 12.11.5 today. If your car wants to update you to 12.5 you may have to update to it and then wait for it to update again.

My car does a weird thing after an update, the instrument cluster won't shut off when the car is plugged in. It happens after every update now, even if I reboot the car. I found by accident I can get it to reset by unplugging the car overnight and then it will resume going back to sleep after charging on the next charge.

 

[Grumble]

Anyone done any in depth testing with 2020.12.11.5? Interested in things like launch mode, max battery, dragy runs etc.

That button actually does something?

Don't know for sure, but I switched it on and got an update faster, though Tesla may be pushing the latest build to AP1 cars since they broke some functionality with 12.5

 

[wodnik7]

I never used USB before, only spotify and tunein, but:

the update came yesterday. And mine is on advanced too.

2015 85D

 

[mspohr]

Just got 11.5
I haven't set advanced update.

I am very happy that Tesla keeps updating and improving my car five years after it was new. Never had this level of service from any other manufacturer.

Are you serious or joking.

I have the same car as you and I feel every update since V8 has made the car worse - they've taken away nice features and made some functions more inconvenient to use.

I realize that this thread is primarily for people to gripe about how bad Tesla is but I just wanted to say that I am very happy with my car and all of the software updates.
YMMV

I disagree. We're here to share knowledge and experience with each other, good or bad. Lots of good has come out of this thread and threads like it.

Agree. I think these threads are quite beneficial. Not all about complaining.

Maybe just grumbling
So why can't people just accept it when I say I'm happy?

 

[AustinP]

This is indeed one of the thread I’m watching as an older owner, where I find and share news on my car and it’s siblings. Good and less sometimes.
I’m also very happy with my car and the latest updates.
Not saying I’m thrilled with the slower charging speed of course.

Suggest turn off notifications for your phone using the Tesla App. If you have Teslafi, it will show you latest update in very small, easy to ignore font.

I gave up playing update roullete months ago.

Rarely drive the car, so don't see that yellow screen either. All is well, and my MCU1 is protected as it can be...

As far as MCU1 goes, I thought Tesla fixed the excessive logging which was the cause of memory failure. Don't know which version but it was a while ago. Also, if you don't update, the new software stays in your memory, contributing to the problem.
