Anyone have an upside to doing the most recent software update? I got the notification today that one is available, but I haven't heard of anything that makes it worth doing.
They're fixing little glitches. Assuming no reversions then it's going to be somehow better than what you have, in some undefined way.

Me too. Went to the SvC Wednesday and they upgraded my S to 5.8.8, not 5.8.10. But that was after others were saying they already got 5.8.10. Looks like some of us are being left behind...
I just wanted to post a quick update that the problem had nothing to do with the 08 upgrade, it was the Exchange server upgrade that caused the problem. Contacts syncing perfectly now.
Perhaps in this case, you can't skip a release. That hasn't been the case previously, but because releases appear to be coming out more often, testing for every upgrade case might not be feasible.

I went from 5.8.4 to 5.8.7 via an OTA update. Then, 5.8.7 to 5.8.9 at a service visit in early Feb and then 5.8.9 to 5.8.10 at another service visit last week.

Fabio and anyone else on 5.8.10, can you confirm if Slacker works for you? Since I got 5.8.10 on Wednesday last week, Slacker's become pretty much useless; buffers forever and never plays anything. Contacted ownership who said that they haven't heard any other complaints about this but, I'd like to put that down to very few folks having 5.8.10.
Internet connectivity from the car is just fine. Maps, TuneIn work fine.
First, the Tesla-created Slacker account started throwing login errors. I then signed up for a Slacker Premium account but, no dice; got past the login problems but, that's about it. The account works perfectly for me from the iPhone app and I can play playlists nicely through Bluetooth.
Reboot didn't fix the problem.
Please confirm.

Had to reboot twice this morning after service updated to .10 2 days ago. Display froze up when I pressed homelink. Before this I hadn't rebooted for several months .

Just got the ota update to 5.8.8 y'all, I'll let you know how it is to be up and running in the latest and the greatest.
Joking aside, I finally gave in (after having it offered to me ota over the weekend), even though all I heard was downsides to 5.8.8 and the other recent release, but 5.8.10 hasn't seemed to have too many complaints. So I figured what the hell, I'll take this ota update, everyone's getting 5.8.10 now, so that's what it should be...
But, I got 5.8.8... Hopefully with less bugs than have been reported. Not sure why I got 5.8.8 at the time others were getting 5.8.10...wouldn't have updated if I knew it was 5.8.8... What the hell method are they using? Maybe they do need to be updated in order.
Luckily I have a previously arranged appointment at the service center this week if it does act funny.

i can can confirm that at least for me, Slacker is working fine on 5.8.10. I get the occasional start of a song followed by a couple of seconds of buffering before the rest of the song plays, but I've had that on every release since at least 5.6.
