Current status of Firmware 6.0 ?

[Mario Kadastik]

All they did was read this thread: Firmware 6.0 (beta version discussion) and write a blog post.

Along with calendar sync, I'd hope they add an iOS 8 share extension to the app to send an address to the car from any app that does mapping. I'd like to be able to look up an address on the phone away from the car and have it waiting for me when I go to leave.

Easy workaround -- Create a calendar event that starts within the next hour and it will automatically trigger the auto-commute feature (according to the posted release notes).

Not as fancy, but you currently can add a contact to your phone, including the address of your destination. Once in the car, call up the contact on the center screen and tap on the address. It goes to the nav.

Yeah, obviously there's some work arounds, but a send to car extension would be easier. It's probably not high on the list of things they need to do, but it'd be a nice polish.

I wonder if Tesla would take volunteers to help on the iPhone integration ( So long as I can bring it up in my eventual SpaceX interview )

Currently, Maps on Mac OS gives you an option to send the selected map or address to your iPhone or iPad. I would love a "send to car" feature...

Wither 6.0?

anybody know whatever happened to 6.0 deployment? i was told by service advisor 2-3 months ago that it was going to start rolling out "in a couple of weeks." did they run into some significant snag in beta roll out?

 

[Mike_Schlechter]

The prevailing notion seems that it will be sometime around the Apple announcement next week. I have no idea what the providence of that notion is, but dearly hope it is true, as 5.12 is a buggy pain in the ICE.

Doubtful. Now that 5.12 started getting pushed OTA we're not likely to see 6.0 for another month at least. It just wouldn't make sense to update an entire fleet of cars with an interim release only to push a major firmware a week later.

Mod Note: several posts on OTA distribution of v5.12 got moved to Firmware-5-12

And since they were comments on #249... their value in qualifying that comment are lost.

Ummm, no that's why I included a hyperlink to the exact post where that started. Whether v5.12 is getting an OTA distribution is of valid interest in the v5.12 thread. This thread is postulating on the current status of v6.0. I'm pretty certain the move didn't ruin anyone's day and I apologize if it did.

Is everyone happy with version 6? Or is it really not out to everyone yet?

Mike - per Elon 6.0 will be out soon... Other than beta testers I don't think anyone has seen it. Beta tester are under NDA's. Last rumor I saw thought 6.0 might be linked to Apple iOS 8 being announced. Your guess is as good as any. FYI

Seriously doubt this to be the case. What of Android users?

"soon" :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Soon with Elon could mean a lot of things. We all love him and our cars but we've all learned not to hold our breath on promises that involve dates.

Will there be a 6.0 release? yes. When? Yes.

Just like Valve time.

I think Gabe and Elon went to the same project management seminar.

 

[dirkhh]

Elon said it would be out in January. Just not which January. So I think there is a decent chance that it might get released in the next four to six months...

That's probably from the rumors that started with the 6.0 beta release notes. "iOS now, Android in a few weeks."
