Firmware 7.1 - For Classic Model S

[ohmman]

I have a Pearl White MS so I know what people are saying about the brightness at night. While I do think the contrast isn't great, I haven't seen the issues that some post here - I don't know if the IC build matters or not, and my eyes are far from great but I don't ever have daytime issues with visibility.

In the end, none of this is a huge deal to me. I'd strongly prefer the range bar back in the center. I can live with it where it is, though. I really don't look at it that much, even on road trips. However, it sounds like the contrast issue has some level of danger, depending on the display/owner. That should be addressed.

Yes please!

Just got 2.12.45 on my classic S85. Doesn't look like many other have yet. It's installing now. I'll get pics if anything has changed in the UI/Release notes.

No noticeable change from what I see. The battery and OD are still in the same place. A boy can dream....

I just got 2.12.45 this morning. I see elsewhere someone reporting the audio quick select is back - but I still don't have it...

I have not seen anything different in this release yet, but I haven't driven and checked navigation or anything like that.

No source select for me either

I want the battery icon back on the center screen, instead of the useless lightning symbol. The small battery indicator on the instrument cluster is often blocked by the steering wheel when I take a glance from the rear of the car to check if it has charged ok

I don't recall seeing saving creep setting to driver profile in any customer feature requests top 10 lists, must have really annoyed a VIP.

 

[MichaelS]

Really! And bugs like the audio not staying muted when the car is asleep and then when on an album on USB, the car ends up on the last song which then starts over every time the car wakes up. This bug has been around so long and has not been fixed.

I remember creep not being linked to driver profile coming up a few times in threads over the years. Does have some safety implications if the car behaves in a different way than expected (last driver changed your creep setting). A good change, but a minor one. Still holding out hope they will start fixing other long-standing issues.

I got the update a few days ago. Since then my TPMS will sporadically pop up then disappear after the car is parked for a few minutes.

This happened to me, and the battery on one if the sensors was going bad. Probably just a coincidence with the timing of the update.

This would be useful if the car associated the driver profile to the keyfob...

Aren't the batteries supposed to be good for 7-10 years, 150k miles?

Well, all good things must come to an unfortunate end.

Tomorrow I take my car in for annual service and LTE upgrade. Even though I begged and pleaded to leave it on 6.2, I really don't think they'll be able to honor my request.

So for you, Firmware version 6.2, I remove my hat, bow my head and say a very sad goodbye. I hope to see you sometime down the road,in a better place, where we shall meet up again.

 

[Cyclone]

Goodbye 6.2. Wish we got to meet 6.3 to avoid some of the decisions in 7.x.

 

[apacheguy]

Better yet where's the UI overhaul that Elon mentioned after 7.0?

We got it. Homelink now looks slightly different when auto-open/auto-close is counting down to engagement.

I am still on 6.2 but was just talking to a sales team member about upgrading from my 2013 S85 to a new model S 90D. Hopefully I will be able to afford an upgrade with my trade in and will continue to be a happy camper. I was just told that the $1,200 referral credit can be used by me, by referring myself.

That's a first. In the other referral programs, self-referrals were specifically prohibited. Congrats on the S90D.

I'm "adjusting" to the new firmware. By far, the worst thing are the very low-contrast speedo numbers... impossible to see in bright light with sunglasses on, and barely visible without glasses. I don't like losing the A/B Trip odos, because I never really know when "current trip" resets itself.

But now that I'm on the latest firmware, it's just good to know I can now get the latest new features (assuming there are any new features for non-AP cars).
