Im finally updating here in California at 5:20pm not sure what the firmware is but 2019.16.3 is currently out. Two model 3’s with the 2019.16.3 update.

5:32pm still updating, front head lights came on and some sound under the car. Should be almost done.

5:38pm some more crazy sounds like a fan is Reving at high speeds, towards the front but under it.

Everything works well, they did remove the equalizer and the feature where you turn on and off Immersive sound, which never worked anyways. The Lane Departure Avoidance on Assist works very well, it pulls you back into your line before you drift off over the line.
Also the Sentry mode for locations works nicely, have turned on for work only and when I arrived at work it was activated.

HW 3.0 just got the autonomous lane change option with 2019.16.3. Today I did a 43 mile trip on the freeway and autopilot was able to navigate multiple freeway exchanges and got me off at my exits going both ways as well as negotiating lane changes to get me into the best moving lane along the way. Very happy with it.
 
This is interesting. In 2019.16.3 (and perhaps .2 - I assume) - the visualizations for getting close to barriers are FAR more accurate. I am 2 inches from the wall in my garage and the graphic is more accurate. It didn’t use to be so accurate.

I was alerted the update was available Wednesday. I waited until tonight (Friday) to do the update.

No issues noted and it took almost exactly the 25 minutes it quoted. A quick drive around the block is all I’ve done to make sure 16.3 didn’t create a 4100-lb paperweight!
 
Anyone else having issues with 2019.16.3 not excluding home for sentry mode when that setting is selected?

I have “Home” set to where if I “Navigate to Home” it goes to the right place. Not sure if there’s an extra place to specify “Home” that I’m missing.

As much as I love watching video of me admiring the car, I don’t need 59 sentry events every day.
 
Since the recording icon changed, only on and off for sentry mode. How do we save dash cam video?
I got the down arrow on the cam icon a couple of times. This morning after leaving a parking space I tapped the camera icon and there was no down arrow but the videos were saved.
I find turning the camera recording of is a hit or miss affair. There may be a 5 to 10 second delay before it turns off.
I am still amazed that this stuff works at all
