Firmware 7.1 - For Classic Model S

[miamibeacher]

I agree - navigation, trip planning, supercharger availability would all benefit everyone. Plus finish the UI changes properly and improve the music (at least use cover art if it's in the file).

Mine shows album art....

But it gets what it shows from the Internet, not using the artwork embedded in the music file. I have some specially marked artwork, that does not show up. Also, often it simply shows a photo of the artists, not the album.

I'm increasingly reminded of a classic Seinfield episode, but with a slight twist: "You know how to promise the features, you just don't know how to deliver the features. And that's really the most important part, the delivering."

Love it!

I constantly get a placeholder Slacker picture - on many songs where at other times I get album art. It seems completely random.

This seems like a feature to me. I've often cancelled before I looked at the graph and berated myself for doing so.

I played with it a bit more today. When you cancel a trip, the trip graph stays (until you turn the car off and on), but it is static - no updating at all as you drive. I don't see that as useful, and it's not documented, which is why I think it's a bug. Even if it did update, I really doubt they would leave the graph up on purpose. If you forgot that the graph was not for your actual trip, it could result in you getting stranded if the graph showed that you have enough to get to wherever your previous trip destination was, but now you're going somewhere else, maybe in a totally different direction. (I know, "Range Assurance" would probably prevent that, but you get my point - it's showing potentially incorrect info.)

Well, if it doesn't update, it's worthless.

If it did update, all Tesla needs to do is add a banner or label that says "Last Known Trip" or somesuch.

Although I really can't see someone cancelling Nav guidance, AND significantly changing course, AND still relying on the energy graph. If someone's not paying enough attention to that, they'd likely run out anyway.

I can see it: Hit "Places", then accidentally hit the wrong destination, maybe the one above or below the one you want in the list. Notice your mistake, cancel that, then get distracted and head off because you know the way, then a while later, part way along the trip, open the Energy app...

Anyway, doesn't matter, since it's static.

I drove with autodim for the first time tonight. It kept dropping the brightness to 0% within seconds of my setting it to a level that I could read -- I'd dial in 25%, and it would immediately start dialing it back town to zero. It didn't seem to learn or otherwise adjust to the setting I needed, so I've turned it off.

Two bugs and one other change that I've noticed so far with 7.1:

Bug 1: After you cancel a trip in the Nav, the Trip graph isn't cleared until you turn the car off and on (i.e. get out and back in). This was while in park and plugged in - not sure if it might clear the graph in other situations.
Bug 2 (may not be new): The button at top right of the Controls page says "Charging" when the car is plugged in and running climate control but not charging.
Change: The silly "Region" selector in the Units & Formats page is gone again - yay.

I noticed that the "Trip" tab in the energy app retained a graph even after I had cancelled a trip (which is new behavior) as well... I wonder if the to are related...

That's what I meant for Bug 1.

WRT to auto-fold mirrors it used to annoy me that I would park in my garage after manually folding mirrors and then open my driver door, exit, close it and then open the rear door (to get the kids out or a bag), the mirrors would unfold (annoying). Firstly, is this behaviour similar for others?


Last night it didn't auto-unfold (yeah) when I opened the rear door after parking and closing the driver door. Note, I haven't tested this anymore.

Wow, with the last 3 or 4 posts, one really as to wonder who is (isn't) designing, coding, QA'ing the sw at Tesla these days?

Has the experienced staff all moved on to the Autopilot team?

I haven't tried this, but I can confirm that if auto-fold is enabled in settings and you manually fold your mirrors, opening the driver door will unfold the mirrors. So for me, after hoping this was "fixed" and turning auto-fold on again, I turned it back off the same night.

It still unfolds if you open the driver door, but it used to also unfold if you opened the rear doors. What I'm saying is it doesn't seem to do that anymore.

we need to learn from real estate companies...

If it's any consolation, my car didn't come with auto-fold mirrors. I had it retrofitted.

Exactly. You asked if anyone else noticed this and I said I did not, I noticed the other behavior. I am glad they "fixed" the rear door behavior.

May I suggest a high ceiling and wide clearance garage for the X wings?

One was rejected because it had very very narrow individual garage doors for the three bays...

Classic Model S = No Auto Pilot
If someone buy a brand new MS without AP today, this thread of for him, too.
