[CantaMia Ron]

I just got 5.8 Today.

They also told me that 5.8 upgrade supposed to be pushed to all cars by the end of today.

Wow. All cars within 48h?
Impressive

I called ownership services in attempt to fix the Bluetooth problem which appeared after the 5.6 update performed on my car last week at the SC (during the fog lights retrofit).

The ownership said that the Bluetooth mulfunction is a known 5.6 common problem which supposed to be fixed with 5.8. They also told me that 5.8 upgrade supposed to be pushed to all cars by the end of today.

This is good to hear! Can't wait to get my 5.8 upgrade now.

Everything you describe is normal.

Agree. At times we've called it, lovingly, Christine mode.

Was on 5.0 so with wifi updating to 5.8 took about 25 minutes. usual lights & screens flashing on & off with some clicking noises, center display warns car needs service, don't be alarmed..it goes away once you press the brake peddle & start the car.

We got 5.8 last night from 4.5.

Dang you did the fog lights, I was told at the SC that is not possible!

 

[reddy]

Amazing... I just got 5.6 a matter of days ago. Now I've already had 5.8 installed from WiFI.

Obviously the timing of firmware releases has had a paradigm shift....

......And I can read and post here faster as well from my MS.

Which makes you wonder where all that capacity was when they did the slow roll-outs before....

Cost me $1320. The whole unit, including the corner lights got replaced.

Ouch......ok not doing that!

 

[brianman]

Well, golly, gee............
Just getting ready to post that I'm tired of running out to the cold garage to check, but went for a look-see first. The notice was there.
As we speak something is downloading - trust it is 5.8.

I think you mean installing (download happens before the notification is displayed AFAIK), and...

"Ditto".

Be curious to see if 5.6 WIFI folks get 5.8 first, and what the lag is for OTA,

Got 5.6 last week, set up wifi. This morning noticed we were scheduled to download 5.8 tonight.

Mod Note: Discussion on lower Air Suspension setting being...ummmm...suspended at highway speeds was moved to a new thread here - Air-Suspension-no-longer-lowers-at-highway-speeds-(FW-update-v5-8)

Please post further discussion on that topic there and not in this thread. Thanks.

Still on 5.0. Feeling left out. :-/

I went directly from 5.0 to 5.8 this morning. My car is always parked in Wi-Fi zone at home. One other difference between 5.0 and 5.8 is that the heading up navigation now doesn't suffer from the road names being upside down when heading south. The road names are rendered separately from the map tiles, and are always kept consistently facing the driver in a readable format.

Really excited to get some miles under the belt with this new version!

Software upgraded on Model S this morning, from 5.0 to 5.8 (1.49.22). Many of the enhancements were already part of 5.0. Haven't driven yet, looking forward to the non-spinning maps :biggrin:

 

[jomo25]

They seem to be rolling out 5.8 very aggressively (more so than with 5.6). Hope all you 4.5ers get it soon. I know how it feels!

Agreed. I just got the update notification. I assume it's 5.8. Won't be able to install til later as we're headed out. Shocked I got it since the reception in my garage is usually 0-1 bar.

I had a problem with my MS. Called Tesla was told 5.8 roll out to everyone within two days! YEA!

For my problem, I had to restart 17" screen hold down two roller bars until the screen is black. Then reset the driver screen by holding down the two buttons above the rollers on the steering wheel tip the screen went black.

 

[Eggplant]

Does anyone else think this two day roll out is strangely aggressive? Suspiciously so...
