Got it. 7.1, missed that part.
I'd still be careful putting too much faith in his tweets.. :smile:

Agreed. If 7.0 will be pushed out in the coming months (13), who knows how long 7.1 will take if he hasn't given any EST release date. Either way I am excited to get 7.0 even without the auto part It finally feels like I will have the car I paid for.
I cant seem to find the thread, but I recall reading about someone who had an update pending when they left for a trip, came back a couple of months later, installed the update, and it was the update that was pushed months ago and service had to install the latest. I think this was 5.9->6.0 or something, and he ended up with 5.9 (x.x.x) to 5.9 (y.y.y) instead of 6.0 or 6.1. *shrugs*

Sounds like you may have too much time on your hands. Regardless, that's not a good idea because if something goes wrong with the update you may be stuck somewhere away from home. Would you update your computer operating system in the middle of working on an important project?
Yeah no kidding, yikes. I would have assumed most of us here (owners of Tesla) share the similar early adopter DNA as tezzla anyways. I know I do.

I agree the insult was unnecessary, though I expect TexasEV didn't mean it as much of an insult, but more of a joke.
More importantly, though, I think his warning is both well-intentioned, and important for people to be aware of.
We're all going to be excited when we see that notification that we have an update available. The desire to update immediately and see the new UI and the new features we've been waiting for so long as soon as possible will be strong, and hard to resist. TexasEV's point that something could go wrong with the update procedure, and that it's almost certainly better to let the update take place when the car is parked in a safe place, as opposed to at the side of the road, is a valid one. So we can chastise him for the insult or bad joke, but let's also thank him for what could, for many, prove to be an important safety reminder.
That's fair but I am sure tezzla was joking when he said would pull over and install it. I hope anyways [emoji1]

He well may have been joking.
But there are people reading the forums that are relatively new members, or are relatively new to their cars, and may not realize what's involved in accepting and starting an update, in spite of the warning on the screen. I think as far as a PSA goes, TexasEV's post was helpful. That's really all I was trying to say.
Despite my reservations about some of the new UI design elements, I am going to install v7 on day one because it is supposed to have some really nice enhancements for my classic P85!
Let us know if the new car status app reads tire specific pressures.
Sorry if anyone took my post the wrong way. I wasn't trying to be insulting. Sometimes it's hard to get the right tone in posts or emails when you're not talking to the person.
I don't know if Tezzla was joking. I've read stories here of people installing immediately and being surprised they were stuck for a while, including one who tried to install while supercharging. Needless to say that didn't go well.

I am too thick skinned to get insulted, but I really appreciate you guys standing up for me, thanks.
I got my 1st tesla in August 2013 and never had a problem installing an update. And I do have plenty of free time on my hands, kids off to college, my wife is a workaholic and I'm not working. Bring on the late update!

Wow, that's a bummer
