I wonder if "we" will get a notification about the sunroof being open? Since AP1/MCU1 cars would be the only vehicles with a sunroof I bet Tesla completely forgot to code that part into the alerting system.
Haven’t tried the sunroof yet but had frunk open yesterday for lengthy period and later found two notifications of it been left open. Will try sunroof today.
Yes, sunroof alerts work on my '14 p85d.
It seems that firmware update 2020.36.11 has been rolled out to 15 AP1 cars so far.
Is there anything new in it or just "minor improvements and bug fixes"?

I haven't gotten it yet, but according to this post: Regenerative braking control missing
they removed the switch for regen braking standard/low.
The inability to switch it to low is a serious safety issue on snowy/icy roads.

Hopefully the first AP1 person who receives it and notices anything worth mentioning posts in here for us all to peruse.
Unless they have programmed the car to do it automatically at freezing temperatures, to make the cars more safe on downhill icy sections. I would be very unhappy if that is the case; don't take my options away!
Can't imagine they would do that deliberately. 95% of the time when temps are below freezing, there's no ice or snow on the road.
However, Tesla is famous for taking away options. To name a few, loss of flexibility in climate control, auto-resizing of maps, poor functionality of auto-wipers, loss of green "traffic normal" lines on maps, etc.

P85D owner here. After updating I got the sense that the MCU felt slower than usual, though I’m not worried about that since I have a service appointment to get MCU2 installed tomorrow morning. Both Range Mode and regen braking options were still there after the update.

I have the same navigation data version that you do which I was told was outdated (180906-1605). I can't get past about 90% download on the new version before it stops. Has your car tried downloading a new version?

Yup it’s been doing that for several weeks now, very annoying! I’m picking up my car from service tomorrow after having the MCU upgraded to MCU2 and hopefully that will take care of this as well

Good to know! I'd be interested to see if the new MCU installs the latest maps.

I had the MCU2 upgrade carried out on Monday and Tuesday this week - when I got home with the car, it immediately downloaded a software update (which stuck at 100% and would not get further, but that’s another story) and then an update for the maps
The other story - it seems the update hung at 100% because the new games didn’t update. I opened each of them in turn, to see either ‘update available’ or ‘downloading’. The downloading progress bar seemed stuck - until I tapped it, which I know sounds weird, but after that, the games updated
Once that had happened, the new car firmware re-downloaded and installed just fine
Very strange
The other minor issue with the MCU2 upgrade was that the parking chimes did not work until a two button reset was performed
Everything now works brilliantly - and it’s so nice to have a functional browser back
Kudos to the people at Vancouver Service Centre, who always do a fantastic job and are a credit to Tesla

How's your FM radio working?
That's funny. We just got back from a multi-state road trip in our Winnebago View (Mercedes Sprinter chassis) RV with a Kenwood Excelon DMX906S receiver with integrated Sirius satellite and HD FM radio. We preferred listening to XLive (Slacker) streaming from my iPhone XS Max instead of:
- HD FM radio since HD is usually on in metropolitan areas... and annoyingly switches between HD and Standard FM radio as you drive
- Sirius radio since they compress the audio SO much it sounds "tinny" like an old AM radio
Needless to say I'm not going to miss FM when my MCU2 is installed, but I respect the opinions of Tesla owners who listen to FM's disappointment that the MCU2 upgrade loses this feature.

Picked up the car from service and this is the navigation data version it shows after the MCU2 upgrade

Are they taking appointments on AP1 cars for MCU upgrade now? Website still says “coming soon”

Does Tesla WAZE work reliably on MCU2 ??? Tesla Traffic Incidents and Information
It is the one website I consistently have on my MCU1 browser... but requires rebooting the MCU1 every couple of hours for it to stay connected AND not crash the MCU1 completely.
