Firmware 5.8

[B.TSLA]

Software Update - Could this be 5.9????

Going through the process right now. I wonder what new features this has in store.
This update screen didn't have any specifics on the firmware revision or features....

Could this be 5.9????

I got updated to a newer build of 5.8 when I was at the SC last week. Maybe it's that.

 

[B.TSLA]

Thanks for the heads up. I wondered why it didn't have any details about the update as we've seen in previous updates.
Any noticeable / noteworthy updates to 5.8 that you've noticed??

I can confirm that .30 does *not* fix the ambient light buzzing.

(BTW, is this a problem on newer cars?) If you're not familiar with it, if your headlights are on and your touchscreen brightness is set to 86% and below (that's the exact threshold on my car--starting when going from 87% to 86%) you can hear a faint buzzing noise. Turning up the brightness, turning off the ambient lights, or turning off the headlights will stop the noise.

Otherwise, I had zero issues with the install itself or anything after it. Did not need to reboot at all.

people are getting 5.8, .30 flavor these days.

Every loaner car I have had has worked properly WRT ambient lights. Mine does not, but Tesla denies the problem repeatedly during my service visits. It stinks not being able to use that feature.

Nope, haven't noticed any differences.

Hey guys, I just found out from the SM that rev .30 ups the amps on the USB ports, too. 2.1A for the driver's side and 1A for the passenger side.
No more need to have the higher amp charger stuck in my 12V socket now! W000T!

Also, the .30 update discovered that I have a malfunctioning (mechanical) passenger rear door exterior handle actuator. C'est la vie.

And yeah, I would LOVE to get a line-by-line breakdown on what these updates fix. Of course, if this was normal software/hardware OEMs, you'd get a large list of good and bad. Maybe Tesla only wants us to see the new whizzbang enhancements.

Yup. .30 rev. It's still exciting, though!

Except that even the good thing you mentioned (2.1A USB output) isn't mentioned.

Try replacing the bulbs, as they are likely the source of buzzing. Sort of like some flouresent lights buzz while others don't - defective bulb.

That is a nice upgrade. I believe that is enough juice for an iPad now.

 

[Petrokalis]

Am I the only one still on 4.5?

If you haven't been offered the upgrade, something got missed. Best contact Tesla service.

Yes it is. Most tablets will be fine now.

[Mario Kadastik]

Yeah, was surprised to see another SW update notice today Scheduled for 23:30 again.

Could you post release notes?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if the car continues charging while fw update is going on?

Charging is briefly interrupted during the install, but not during the download.
