Firmware 2019.16 features

Shouldn't it be week 16 of year 2019?

You can edit your main body from 2019.12.16 to 2019.16.x.

 

...or 2029 to see how you did.

Looks like some good enhancements but still no enhanced summons.

 

I would say it's best to just delete this thread and create a new one

 

You forgot to mention one of the features many here will be very excited about!

Software Update Preferences

You now have the option to receive new software updates as soon as they become available for your car configuration and region. Tap Controls > Software > Software Update Preference > ADVANCED

2019.16 also includes the newly announced Lane Departure Avoidance and Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance safety features.

The mods can just as easily rename the thread for you. No need to delete it. I’ve already used the report feature to request that they fix your thread title.

 

Man, kind of a trip to think about what 2029.16 might look like.

10 years ago there was hardly a Tesla to speak of, smartphones were just gaining widespread traction, and most importantly, the tyrant that runs my home was nowhere near conception.

Very cool! Pretty excited for the enhanced Sentry mode controls, as well as the lane departure "assist" mode. Competing brands have been doing this for a couple years now, and I think it's useful safety feature. My Model 3 is already cheaper to insure than the minivan it replaced, perhaps this will lower the cost further.

 

Kinda bummed that I didn't create the thread about this. Must be losing my touch

 

Moderator note: thread title correction to 2019.12.16

 

Thank you sir!

Now, if you would, please change it to 2019.16 ...

 

WOW. Looks like 2019.16 is going to be a great update. I am particularly happy for the ability to set your preferences for software updates. This should really help to get the latest updates and not be wondering for weeks where your update is. Conditional speed limits looks really good too.

 

TeslaFi is currently tracking about 1% of the Tesla fleet. I suspect it'll show up within a few hours.

 

Elon just tweeted about the new software update preferences. I wonder just how immediate "immediately" will be.

My guess is that you can get any update that is listed for your config and location as soon as Tesla has uploaded it to their servers instead of waiting for Tesla to then push the update to your VIN. This should help streamline Tesla's OTA update process since Tesla can now just upload an important update to their servers and have it automatically go out to cars that opted in, instead of having to push out updates to cars.

But will it apply to "Early Access" updates or only updates that have left "Early Access"? If the former, then it is a nerf to "Early Access" because it means that anyone can basically opt in to "Early Access" now. Not that I complaining. It is super cool. No more waiting weeks, hoping to get the new update! YES!
