Firmware 7.0

Where the hell is the date???

This showed up on the EU cars as well with their first AP release. I'd like to have the date back as well.

Encouraging, but I'm still hoping they fix the odometer/range indicator in short order. Come on Tesla!

Is date not already on the calendar icon? Maybe Tesla can add the day of the week on that calendar too?

Does it still do lane change with just the turn signal (not requiring you to hold the wheel)?

Sweet! I can't wait for my car to be updated.

I wonder if this small update includes the rollout of AutoPilot 1.01

It always was on the calendar icon, but wasn't on the speedometer display. Same with the clock. It's kind of annoying to have to look at the center console for the time.

The thing that bugs me was moving the gear selector to the right instead of front and center. I frequently like to look at the selector to make sure I actually put the car into reverse before hitting the accelerator. When it is on the right, it is frequently obscured by the wheel, and I have to crane my neck to check what gear it is in. Whereas it is much more likely to be visible in the middle.

yes, I too would feel safer to have the gear shift display in the center.

Just got my Model S back from having the next gen seat retrofit done and I have a new firmware version. 2.7.77. It shows the clock and temp back in dash! Thank you for listening Tesla! You rock!

How do we get this if our car is in our garage? Can we ask for the update from the car?

Larry, I really miss the "old" dash. Having the energy use in orange and the regeneration in green, helped me to be a more mindful driver. I also loved the blue speedometer with gray for over limit! Must be getting old - I don't like change. Also don't like it that the regeneration feeling is less apparent. It was my game to see a stop light and try to use regen almost all the way to the stop, with brakes only at the end. Hope I get the choice of dash of the old style in the next version.

Exactly I want ( for example ) Wednesday October 28, 2015. do the order of the elements
as you wish, but we used to have that... I want it back.

 

[tomp]

Agreed. I like the v6.2 setup, which is why I haven't yet updated to v7!

Well, some of the criticism was constructive. Some wasn't. :wink:

Hi Krug,

Good point. Well I know mine was constructive. :biggrin:

Hi Lu,

Welcome to the forums.

You must be more sensitive to the changes in regeneration than me. I have no problem with the change in regen and still have no problem with one pedal driving.

I can live with the new dash. There are some improvements, but also in my opinion some minor steps backwards. The fact that Tesla has apparently retraced some of their steps is encouraging. It's also encouraging that Elon tweeted soliciting suggestions.

Among other things I tweeted to him was that we need the option of an Elon voice on the NAV. :biggrin:

I like my steering wheel low and I am tall, so with the new dash I cannot see my speed unless I lower my head. But I have a great view of the autopilot car and lane indicator. I'd really like to have the speed at the bottom and the car animation above. They have moved the speed to a point where I cannot see it and that stinks. Why can't they bring out several skins so each of us can pick the layout we like??

I completely agree. It is terrible.

+1 to this question

And to the mods, this probably belongs in the Firmware 7.0 thread

Good lord no wonder some people are complaining about the car icon and its headlights impeding night vision!

There's nothing you can do to speed up how soon you receive an OTA update. Some people have suggested that having the car connected to WiFi helps, but I don't believe there's really any long-term proof of that yet.

You just have to wait.

It's a bad washed out photo. It's no where near that bad.

Actually, I don't think the headlights are bad at all.
