1st post! I've only had my car (P100d) for a couple weeks. More on that to follow. My car was one of the initial 1000 to get the initial AP2 release (250.185) but just received the latest update a few hours ago. It downloaded in less than 10 minutes. Rev is listed as 17.3.2. Just got back from a short test drive. Not much is different - auto steer was increased from 35 to 45 mph. It only works on restricted highways like interstates and toll roads, so at a 45mph max it really isn't safe to use, without risk of being rear ended. Auto dim of headlights still don't work, nor does auto windshield wipers. Hopefully that comes with 8.1. I was also hoping for some media player improvements but that wasn't touched either.
Just came back from a quick test drive. I managed to engage auto steer on a freeway junction, and it worked very well. the forward collision warning went off once when I accelerate away from an intersection. Other than that, TACC works great.

I'm getting a message that I haven't seen with the previous updates. It says, "Update complete checking status". I assume this is normal?

Very exciting to read your experiences with the "Enhanced" autopilot - will it be better than AP1.0 right off the bat, will it be the same, or worse?

Just pull the darn leverNow I need to read the manual to learn how to enable auto steer and TACC.
Don't forget to be back in time for your 2pm Refill Humidor
KEEP US POSTED!!! when you know the version number. Sorry for the screaming from the excitement!
Update waiting this morning, (ahead of a long trip, could be good timing if it works), just started it! Model S P100D.
Update was successful and there was no need for calibration, worked on the first drive. Headed for the freeway abou 2 miles from the house and tried Autosteer with mixed reaction. It seemed to bounce in the lane quite a bit (the IC graphic was even worse, super jittery) and it surprised me how much resistance there is to the steering wheel, you really have to put some force on the wheel to correct the steering or change lanes (at which point is disengages). I think I was expecting more of an experience like in my wife's new E300 where the system does not activate if you do a lane correction, or even a lane change, and there is much less resistance to the steering wheel. Her car also has no restrictions on road type or speed of any kind (even on surface streets) but it does nag the hell of out you every 20 seconds or so.
I wonder how long the 45 MPH limit and the freeway limit will be in place...a couple of weeks?
