Firmware 6.1

[3s-a-charm]

Congrats to you!!

Boy did I choose an exciting day to put my order in for a P85D... just the small matter of having to wait 6 months till June now. Torture. So great the see the enhancements coming through.

Have been glued to this forum since my test drive on Sunday.

What ever happened with respect to that issue and repair?

My P85D front motor failure story

Heh! Sure, make it look like I just didn't know where to look. That's a brand new thread! (Which I'm about to go read!)

Thanks!

Speaking of firmware updates... my fiance's P85 is several updates behind. She is still on a 6.0 revision that has issues with the navigation line display (1.x.28 or something)... wonder if I should shoot an email to service about that...

I don't want to freak you out, but you should probably call the service center. When I had the update fail on my P85 it started causing all kinds of annoyance problems. Happened to me at 5.11 to 6.0. I had the 6.0 features, but things were a little wacky after a few days. Touchscreen not responding and hanging, even the speedo would freeze for a few seconds then pop back in place. The service center reset something remotely and it worked again...

Better have them check it out, at least remotely.

Thanks.

I did pop in to Bellevue service center today (thanks Jobi and Marie). They checked. Car was safe, though registering a fail on the update of the parking sensors... Yep, they're not working correctly. Tesla are going to update it next week manually

np. At least it was just the parking sensors and not a bunch of other stuff like on mine.

My P85 is in the same boat. I think it's normal.

Mine is still 5.12(101.6.7). Still nav coming six months later.

Did you see my post upthread, where I pose the question about possible improved efficiency?...We really need some more P85D owners to weigh in on this.

There's now a thread where P85D owners are saying they are seeing improved efficiency with 6.1: P85D efficiency up after 6.1

I have a p85d and received the update today

 

[dalamchops]

anybody with a 60 receive the update yet?

 

[bollar]

I wonder if which server the car is connected to will make a difference? Anyone who knows they're connected to the old server get the upgrade?

 

[NoMoGas]

Maybe I missed it. Is the update going out pre-autopilot cars, yet?

Well until people post their "scary stories" and Tesla stops the roll out.

How long does it typically take for the new software release notes to show up in the My Documents tab on our My Tesla web site?

No clear pattern. Atleast a few weeks typically.

 

[fviken]

Could someone post a picture or two of what the new parking assist screen look like? It is supposed to use all sensors and show results from individual sensors. Thanks!

 

[Kapenagary]

Do I need to be connected to WiFi to receive the update? I only have 3G

 

[gavine]

Updates work over 3G.

Mod note: the discussion on TACC/ACC went to ~80 posts so I carved it out to it's own thread here---> Adaptive-Cruise-Control-(experience-post-FW-v6-1) Apologies for any less than ideal moves, some posts cover multiple topics.

Anybody have a clear idea as to why exactly does the Smart Preconditioning need both Home and Work locations set in the navigator? I set the Smart Preconditioning on as soon as I got 6.1, but then began to wonder why I didn't get the "Learning..." text that is shown in the screen capture at the page 3 of this thread. Today I decided to make sure whether I have Home and Work locations set up. Turned out I did not have Home setup at all. After setting that, now I got the "Learning..." string visible.

Is this because the preconditioning ONLY works for commutes between home and work? It would be nice if it also learned some other repeated trips (in my case I play volleyball certain days a week, it would be nice that I didn't have to manually precondition the car for these trips). But the requirement for those Home and Work places makes me suspect it is limited to home and work for some reason.

I also wonder if it will precondition for my work to home commute, as I have no charging option at work. I don't mind using battery power for cabin preheat.

I guess we shall see in the coming weeks.
