Firmware 2019.16 features

[RamblinWrecked]

Just received the update last night and overall I'm happy with it but there are a few weird things I've noticed...

First - The new visualization is awesome. I love it. However, I do feel like the "jumpiness" of other vehicles on the road around me, specifically at traffic lights, has gone up significantly. Super small thing but definitely noticeable...and honestly a bit embarrassing when coworkers/friends are riding in the car. I'm sure it'll get smoothed out though.

Second - And this is something that I'm actually happy about... When I'm using NoA, the auto lane changes are now happening without any input from me - hands completely off the steering wheel. However, it doesn't seem like this is intentional because the screen is still turning blue and asking for the input...I just have to wait 2-3 seconds and it initiates the lane change anyway. We'll see if it stays this way and the nags go away completely, or if they'll update it and actually require the input...hope it's the first .

Anyone else see this happening for them?

Went from 5.15 to 16.2 today. Do the updates include previous updates that were skipped? I'm mostly wondering about the 5% power increase.

That's really the only update I care about.

Yep, should be under "previous release notes":

Yes, updates are cumulative.

WHOAAA are you saying I have stop light recognition now??????? I have a LR RWD from last May... EAP and FSD. OH and yeah I didn't get the mileage bump yet either ...but will full charge it tonight and see.

I got stop light recognition in my Model S with version 2019.12.1.1 (which I am still on) so you would have it. However, mine works more like an emergency situation. Just about 1 second before running the red light I get emergency RED in my dash to stop. Would be nice to get an indication about 3-5 seconds before I get there. So has been pretty useless for me so far.

Yes that screen shot was from my 2019.12.1.2 update. It should be in 2019.16.2 as well, check your “previous release notes”.

Do you have the 3.0 AP hardware? According to TeslaFi I don't see any Model 3's with the AP3 hardware getting this update yet.

I'm anxiously awaiting the first update since I've gotten the car, but do I understand correctly that AP3 has us held up in the queue? I'm running the highest 12 release reported on TeslaFi for AP3 cars.

@zannman I too have an M3 with AP3 and have not yet gotten the update. It's been connected to WiFi all day and all night. It'd be interesting to drive to the Tesla store and see if that triggers it. I suspect it may just be anecdotal rather than Tesla having fancy different better WiFi.

I'm in the same boat as you here. Still no update.. I'm on the highest 12 release also. Earlier on this thread there was a statement that there was no ability to distinguish between the AP2.5 and AP3 models on teslafi as the API shows them as the same. But from here it looks like maybe AP3 cars are not getting the latest?

Pretty sure there are examples in this thread of HW3 drivers getting 2019.16. Not sure about 2019.16.2 though. But I'm confident TeslaFi does not differentiate for Model 3s. Looked at the Tesla API myself and there's no way to tell for Model 3.

I think that's probably the intent. I finally found some road conditions where I was comfortable trying to trigger it, and got it to trigger -- but it's more of a "STOP RIGHT FRAKKING NOW OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!1!1!!, rather than "dear driver, may i bring to your attention that there seems to be a red light somewhere ahead".

Starting to feel like yesterday was a 50% rollout with some cars that weren't connected to wifi until today. The massive wave on TeslaFi yesterday started at around 12 PM EST; I feel like if we were going to see the other half today we would have seen it already.

Same here. Have a big trip planned and was really hoping to have the lane assist addons. Fingers crossed.

The plot thickens for California folks: 2019.15.11 is now being rolled out, so far only to Model 3s, and 7 out of 10 in California...

 

[ibGeek]

Quickly runs to teslafi to see if this is so... and it is. Well what does this mean? :|

 

[ibGeek]

Quick question... Does the teslifi site show installed updates or update notifications? I'm thinking it's completed updates based on what I've been reading.

Completed. Cars report currently installed firmware through the API, which TeslaFi picks up.

Interesting. Was speaking with a Mobile Service tech today and he was able to push 2019.16.2 to my Model 3. Guess I'm one of the lucky few in California

One thing I've never seen before, it detected a dotted bike lane (the area you drive into to make a right turn) as a new narrow lane in the visualization.

And the lane departure assist worked really well, surprised by how smoothly it guided me back into my lane.

 

[ibGeek]

I'm seeing the .16 updates start to pick up again. Still seeing .15 updates reported but much slower. I think we are seeing the I got a notification while at work crowd.

 

[ibGeek]

There's a software update section in the service request part of the app. Does that try to initiate a tech visit/go to shop, or does it just trigger them to push the update? Don't want to be a pain in Tesla's ass but... I Want it...I want it really really bad.
