Thanks for the tip. In my case, I did not even have the chance to use the browser since it happened right after I installed the 2019.24.4, the usual reboots and offing the car completely (which I always do right after an install). Only then I saw all screen fonts garbled up. It took multiple reboots and leaving the car unused for several hours till all cleared up during the next startup. I recall the gibberish fonts issue had happened once before about six months ago but wasn't after a SW update and fresh recycling of the car.

I can only counter on our ‘17 MS with MCU1 and AP2 that this update was at least as good as .20, if not better.
I had done 2 very similar drives consisting of around 300mi (round trip) each within a week. The first time was on .20, the most recent time on .24.
Both consisted of long stretches of highway in PA, NJ, and NY with good/bad/ugly road markings. Also had a fair share of medium-dense urban driving and midtown NYC. It sounds cliche and perhaps it’s placebo, but I found highway AP on .24 to be more forgiving longitudinally when letting cars merge and detecting merges. I found it tended to detect stopped cars from further away (though can still totally miss them coming around a bend). I found the “dive to the center!” behavior when a lane widens to be much more relaxed. To use a common phrase I’ve seen over the years and updates, .24 felt more confident.
We didn’t lose any range, we didn’t have any MCU crashing, nothing broke AFAIK.

As I mentioned earlier, I got the 2019.24.4 update last week. One slight negative that I did notice is that the car seems to hug the center line more when driving in the right lane. Before, it was pretty centered most of the time.
It looks like I got the new maps yesterday but I haven't noticed any differences yet.

Stop stealing our watts!
On a more serious note, the common factor with everyone reporting heightened range loss seems to be TeslaFi. According to TeslaFi my car slept one since the update (and even that sleep looks like a bug on TF's side).
Someone created a ticket on TF's support page, people experiencing this should report this so it gets some attention.

Did you park under HV power lines?
No, under a tree. It made up for it overnight by losing a few percent though. I have noticed the Sentry mode keeps turning on by itself and filled my USB drive, even though it was covered. I keep turning it off on the app, and even manually on the screen, but it keeps turning itself on
Another data point:
2016 Model S 90D
AP1 w/ MC1 updated to 2019.24.4
My wife and I can confirm that the hard braking is no longer as hard. First gen autopilot had a nasty habit of slamming on the brakes when it detected a slower merger ahead. So hard you could hear the pedal rebound when it released.
The 2019.24.4 update now seems to have made the braking much softer. I have had multiple instances where previously, I would hover my foot over the accelerator, ready to override the brake attempt. Now I do not even need to bother. The car brakes much more human like when a slower car merges.
The fact that my car is over 3 years old and is still being improved blows my mind.

Well I have a positive to add, with this update they must have played around with the USB music player, I no longer get "Loading Error" on some mp3's like I did in the past. I changed nothing, it just started working.
Mine hasn’t slept for since the update either and I use TeslaFi. I’ve changed the polling settings and it stops to enable the car to sleep (prior to this TeslaFi stopped polling when the car stopped reporting the ambient temps which is a pre attempt sleep state). It has made no difference, the car still won’t sleep.
Another owner has logged out of TeslaFi and it made no difference. I’ve tried all the reboots and power down via settings, plus spoke to Support yesterday. Logs checked and nothing showing as abnormal.
It’s a bug IMO, possibly the code that tells the car to stop reporting the ambient temp has been corrupted.

yeah you are probably onto something; I've dicked around quite a bit with TeslaFI as well and was thinking the same thing you are; the temp settings aren't working properly in the new S/W.

I've had the temperature sleep requirements off for some time. Still the car would hardly go to sleep with 2019.24.4
Increasing "Time To Try Sleeping" to 20 minutes helped.

Had similar issues with my car not sleeping because of Teslafi. I tried numerous settings but it was still having issues. I unsubscribed from Teslafi and my car has been sleeping like a baby ever since.
So your car wakes every 2 hours crying?
