Bugs in firmware 6.2

[Rheazombi]

I don't see why we need this "feature" at all. I love listening to music while I clean my car, and I can't stand that it turns down or mutes when the door is open(ed).

roll all windows down?

6.2 is quite buggy.
Recently I was driving silently and the phone rang. The sound system started playing music when i answered the phone. No one there.
I hung up, and the music stopped. Don Maclean would have liked that. Kidding aside, this is an annoying issue.
Re routing to a recently charged SC as I try to go home is also not good!

I've had this same issue on 6.1.179 2 X only

I would be OK with the volume staying the same too. It is the auto-mute that drives me nuts.

I'd also like the ability to disable this auto-mute for the same reason as JakeP.

roll all windows down?

That would work, but I am usually spraying all the panels with waterless wash/quick detailer, and I'd rather have overspray hit the windows than go inside.

I was trying to demo the new routing features of the Nav yesterday. The thing got all tangled up and never completely completed the 'route calculations' of a Hamilton Ontario to Miami trip. Later, when I set out from home, the only way I could get the Nav to route me home was by rebooting both screens. Lots of work needed on this aspect of 6.2

Just got another update notification this morning....I am currently on 6.2 (2.4.124), currently updating....

Yes, it appears that .153 is rolling out. I would really appreciate (and reward with reputation points as long as I don't run out - there's a daily max I can give) entries in the Firmware Tracker

Updated to .153....I was on 3g. I guess it worked anyhow. Don't see any new info on the release info,but I do see a sport mode for acceleration now. Not sure if that was there before. S85D

 

[shadowinstallz]

Also updated on firmware tracker

[shadowinstallz]

Can someone confirm that the sport mode was not on there prior to .153 update. S85D

And you consider that a bug?

Lol

I got .153 this morning too, and now for the first time in owning a Model S since 08/2013, the Geofence on my Homelink isn't working. The menu to open the garage didn't "pop down" as I approached my home garage.

Have you tried rebooting? That solves almost everything that breaks after an update.

The audio bug is killing me. Annoying! I can't believe Tesla breaks the really obvious stuff. Doesn't anybody at Tesla test?

I had a wonderful conversation a little while ago with someone in the larger software team at Tesla. They talked rather openly about the fact that they team is surprisingly small and that there is room for improvement in the way some of the typical software development processes are implemented.
It is quite complicated to do solid testing on a complex firmware package. It's well understood how to do that, but it appears that Tesla was attempting to blaze new paths here, just as they did in so many other areas. It appears that the realities of software development challenges are catching up with them.
It's good to see the job postings, but frankly, I would have expected half a dozen open jobs in firmware QA :-/

This can be useful. I like that if I'm listening to something loud and I open the door somewhere public, the volume is muted automatically. However, I also sometimes wish I could still hear the stereo when the door is open. I think that they could/should implement something like: if e door is open and then the volume control is moved upwards ( even slightly) the volume resumes at normal level. Another thought is that it could just mute for about 10 seconds or so and if the door remains open, it resumes. That might be a bit alarming if someone doesn't know.

The original behavior, of dropping the volume to 2 when the door was open worked fine and was not intrusive. The implementation of the current system is terrible.
