Firmware 5.8
- Thread starter Lloyd
- Start date
Yes the wait is long. I just heard last night about 5.8 beta and now it's released. Can't wait, when, When, WHEN?

I have V5.6 and waiting for the V5.8 update. I’m also connected to my home WiFi network. I also have my car in energy saver mode so it sleeps all the time. When I open the car door and the displays are active, the car says that it’s connected (to a very weak) 3G signal. I have to touch the 3G icon and reselect the WiFi network for it to connect. So I wonder how I’m going to get the V5.8 update when my car is not connecting to my WiFi network when asleep. I decided to turn sleep off tonight to see if I’ll get the update.
TPMS button: push it and it begins the cycle to re-learn the sensors. You must then drive the car about 10 miles or so at > 25 mph to get all the sensors to report. It doesn't learn specific wheel locations, so you don't need to press it when you rotate tires. As a result, it still won't show you which tire is low.
But having the ability to relearn the sensors? It's a great capability. The service centers were swamped with TPMS reset requests.

So it looks like wiper clean mode, along with TPMS reset are the main differences from 5.6 to 5.8. Two good features.

From the UI standpoint, looks to be the same.
No doubt those coming from something less than 5.0, will get this full list of feature updates. If any of us on 5.6 were to be so lucky to get 5.8 now, would likely just show the (assumed) two things that have been added.
OK, now I'm really disappointed I couldn't stop by the SvC today as planned to get the firmware update. I assumed it would have been 5.6, but it might have actually been 5.8!
(Or boy am I glad I couldn't go to the SvC today to get the manual firmware update they offered to me, cuz it would have been 5.6 and I would have had to go in again just to get 5.8!)
Not sure which it is.
I'm pretty sure that's talking about the pressure threshold. Cold pressure for 19" wheels is 45 pounds, for 21" wheels it is 42 pounds. Tesla service can adjust that.
I guess this update is going to save Tesla a Ranger visit. I asked them for a TPMS reset when I switched to snow tires.

I had a ranger reset my TPMS today. He pulled the id from all 4 wheels then connected the device under the center console and uploaded it. No. Mention of any other change needed changes going away from staggered wheels.
Damn they charged me $175! Not sure they even reset them. They just increased tire pressure in my new 20s to 45psi, the tire place told me 34 to 38...

The staggered setup on the Plus must need different target pressures on the front vs the back. I bet this new feature only works when all four wheels need the same pressure.

If they're trying to save 3G bandwidth, it's more important to update the cars that have 4.5, first, since they don't even have the option to use wifi.
