Firmware 6.0

[bpoday]

got the firmware message last night at 11pm PDT, let it run overnight, but it didn't take, got the "call service center" warning and am still on v5.12

Got 6.0 this AM! Review of the car telemetry shows that the car woke up at 4 AM for 1 hour to download the update. So sleep modes does NOT affect when you will get the update.

Rated miles went from 199/80% to 208/79% post update. Will update with new 80% numbers tomorrow and will look into vampire drain as well.

Same here, car was sleeping but my security cam recorded the event which seems to have started at 6:10AM , the green charge port leds went on for one minute and the instrument lcd flashed one second.
When I checked the car at 8am it showed the clock update icon
My router reports 157MB got downloaded (and 13MB up) to the car ip.

Got 6.0 last night. Drove to work, had 167 miles. Installed 6.0: now have 178 miles. Definitive proof of change on estimated rated range. Should have checked ideal ranges before and after. Rebooted twice after install bc that was the solution to oddities from updates in the past.

I got the new version of inboard software this morning. It is the first time i do that since i got my model S three weeks ago.

I think tesla developpers could have design a thermometer icon, or something like that, because i had no idea of how long it would have taken for the update. And i needed the car quickly...


It was ok after all.

Got 6 today! Had a message that it would take 45 minutes, and allowed me to postpone it. I postponed it until later today since I am using the car now.
I didn't think I would get ver 6 so quickly.
I'll let you know how the update goes.

Same here. Updating right now. Been about 25 minutes.

Bad news: It was transient. It's back to 221. Perhaps they just reset the params on the algorithm to "no historical data, recalibrate settings to defaults until more data is available" (or whatever) with the upgrade to the new firmware.

Confirmed: My high water mark for 90% Rated has been 221 for a week now. FWIW, I'm actually a bit happier that Tesla isn't "getting creative" with "what rated means" or with the amount of buffer below zero; both of which were theories about why my rated number might have jumped up with the new firmware. In the medium term (8+ years), I hope Tesla makes a compelling (>= 85 kWh and "low-priced") battery replacement available to us despite the demands of new 2020 vehicle production for S, X, 3, and beyond.

 

[GoBlue88]

Huh. I had 163 rated miles before and after the update.

+1

My 90% rated miles were 179/177 before the update, unchanged right after 6.0 update, and still today. 179 according to Visible Tesla right after it's done charging, 177 when I get into the car in the morning.

Received 6.0 OTA today x.15. So far so good!

Got 6.0 (.15 of course) via Wi-Fi overnight and installed today.. so far so good. Does anyone know if .15 included the new maps, or do those come later? I suspect latter, but didn't want to assume they weren't included in the bump from 6.0 base to .15

Four stages of a bout of tesmsfirmania:

1) Anticipation. Symptoms: anxiety, concern over whether your particular nits might be in place
2) Paranoia. Symptoms: obsession with rollout sequence, wifi signal in your garage, whether you are on/off Musk's christmas card list for a reason, was your last post particularly nasty?
3) Euphoria. Symptoms: sitting in car to watch 45 minutes of nothing much
4) Hallucination. Symptoms: noticing "new" things that have actually been there for 3 releases, noticing changes that are not real, noticing increased/decreased power, regen, range

I'm praying for those afflicted that Tesla never goes to a more frequent release cycle or you will have no time to drive and enjoy your car!

 

[SeminoleFSU]

I didn't notice much regen difference.. Accelerator felt maybe a tiny bit more crisp? I'll get it on the highway tomorrow (didn't today) and get a better feel... Today was just tooling around so maybe it's more noticeable at higher speeds

All I want for Christmas is a "Check For Updates" button.

Waiting for the update is so frustrating (especially considering that my car is in a underground carpark most of the time)

+10000000000

 

[SeminoleFSU]

Just look at it this way- the more folks who say "I just got it" means you just got that much closer... I know that's easy for me to say though

Downloading 6.0 Now!

Downloading now!

 

[SeminoleFSU]

Downloading now!

That technically means you're already downloaded, now it just has to install

I see many posts manifesting those symptoms. I've been on V6 for three days now. I detect no changes in acceleration, regen braking, range, or anything else beyond what is listed in the "official" software change list.

As has been said in several posts in this thread, new maps will be downloaded after you have 6.0 installed. When it happens you'll get a notice on the screen that you have new maps installed.
