These are almost certainly bug-fix releases...and Tesla still has a few major bugs to work out, so I say they're a good thing. Much better than no releases.

Mod Note: I updated the thread title again.....
(We'll get to v6.0 pretty soon as Tesla is running out of numbers. ;-))

So far no big differences in v 5.8.8, with one exception. This morning was the first morning in several weeks that I did not have the pop up window asking if I wanted to connect to wi-fi. None of the suggested fixes had previously worked. Hopefully this "bug" has been smashed.

Title(D)
I got 1.49.90 from the service center.
Now reported range is cuckoo and behaving really crazy, sometimes I charge at 90% and the number reports fine but the green bar is at 85% or sometimes reports the green bar at 100%, sometimes I come back to the car and I had lost apparently 60 miles in couple hours
, couple hours later got back the 60 miles and reports properly.
Avoid 1.49.90 if you can, I got it for a week and the reported range was wrong for at least 4 times or 5 times.
By the way, the service center confirmed that is a known issue and that is fixed in the next mayor release, because I don't know if the mayor release 6.0 will be in a week or two months I sent a request if it is possible to rollback the firmware, since when I travel on the weekends I would like to know what is the real range left without guessing, still waiting for the answer.

Received the response that firmware rollbacks are not available :/

Tesla should support firmware rollbacks - which should not be too difficult for them to implement and test - always verifying that each new release could be rolled back to the previous stable release.
If they had that, if owners encountered a problem with a new release, they could rollback to the previous release.
Another benefit would be the ability to support a broader "open" beta testing program - because if owners could always rollback to the last stable release, there would be lower risk in installing beta software - so more owners would likely do that - giving Tesla more and faster feedback on new releases - and also reducing the frustration from owners that are waiting for the next release. And better feedback on the beta releases - should help them to reduce the time they need to stabilize each release - and get it into everyone's hands.

Still on 5.6 and holding out for 6.0
I see no reason to "upgrade" to 5.6 despite the emails and phone calls from the service center.
