Irrelevant??? Some of the most important people in the world post here!!!

Elon just tweeted that v7 will be rolled out Thursday

I predict 78% of TMC users will be happy about it lol. Hopefully it will be out more than 3 days before someone in Turkey or elsewhere wrecks with it active.

Ok, that's a fair way of putting it. But I think it's important for Zythryn to also recognize that he has zero evidence to support his claim that beta testers drove the UI changes we are seeing now. It's a theory that should be recognized, but at the same time I don't appreciate comments that devalue the feedback we post here.

I read the gist of his point as "we don't know that this feature wasn't this way the whole way through beta, and no actual change took place, let alone that if it was changed, it was as a result of the sturm und drang on TMC"

One car per day, by VIN.

One car per day, by VIN.

That'd be fine... I have one of the lowest P85D VINs

Since none of us here have used the 7.0 I think most likely that beta testers had the most influence over any changes though I suspect beta testers may peruse the TMC and TM threads as well as TM software engineers to get all possible feedback.

Elon just posted v7 wide release this Thursday!

Nice!! Has Tesla actually rolled out a major release all the same day or over the course of time?

The safety update that reduced air suspension lowering went out over a weekend, and more recently the security update went out over a few days. Most planned updates have been distributed over several weeks. I expect the same for v7.

I'm more excited for you AP guys than myself. Fingers crossed that everyone is happy!

The question is whether they prioritize the deployment to cars that already paid for AP so the accountants can let TM realize that money on their balance sheet.

A new version, a new look a few new features. What more can you ask for? I'm happy just to keep driving a great car.

Elon tweeted that deployment would taken place over five days. That's pretty fast for a feature release.

I think it's safe to say this is something like batches of cars will have it released to them with the last batch starting at no more than 5 days after the first batch. With cars not getting good signal, not completing the update, not getting the update request, having to trickle in with service center visits and/or troubleshooting by the owners.

Even if they offer it to all the cars on 10/15/15 I'd be surprised if 90% of the cars successfully upgraded within 5 days of their offer to download/install based on all the threads I've seen on this board in the past.

I mean considering the glitch fix for the dual motor rumble came out to everyone over ~4 days, I think they're doing all they can to prioritize the update that was promised months ago. 5 days is quite fast, but lately firmware has been showing up quicker and quicker!

Before the dust settles on 7.0, note that more UI changes are coming in 7.1, per this tweet from Elon to a friend of mine, whose car does not have AP, asking about the release.

I made this note in the other thread, but the words apply just as well here.

Just be careful because Elon could have misunderstood that to be how many days until he expects 7.0 to roll out in the U.S. Saturday -> Thursday is five days. Hopefully that is not what is happening and he meant by next week rollout should be complete, but I can imagine him misunderstanding the question.

$1 says most of the griping turns out to be based on poor information.

$2 days says remaining gripes will be gone by 7.1.
