Firmware 7.1 - For Classic Model S

[Super_Popular]

Mine was updated yesterday, took about 3 hours. It's currently at a SC so I have no idea what update it was.

That's right, map updates are only downloaded by Wi-Fi. Firmware updates can be cellular, Wi-Fi, or at the service center. There have only been two map updates.

I got my first map update over 3G. The car was parked away from home, definitely not on WiFi, for about 4 hours, and when I got back to it, there was a message saying the maps had been updated.

Maybe it's different in Canada? Or perhaps the update had been downloaded earlier but the update message didn't appear until after some processing had taken place.

7 months later and still holding on to version 6.2.
I'm consistently getting the "Voice command not available" message now even though I have internet connectivity and rebooted both screens.
I guess there's no point in asking TESLA to check it out. I'm sure they'll just ask me to upgrade to version 7.1
If anything more critical fails, I may have to let go of 6.2

Right. I was mainly posting because a number of members adamantly argue that map updates happen over cellular. I thought my car was an interesting case because it's several years old without a single map update, had just been connected to WiFi for the first time in its life, and within days received a map update. Seems like pretty good proof to me, but...

Anyone tested whether gapless playback works yet in the media player? It's the only annoyance I have with 6.2, so I'm waiting until they fix it to upgrade. At the moment it seems like they'll never fix it.

We'll likely get the UI update of version 8 and whatever updates there are for media, navigation, and web browser. So basically everything but autopilot which we don't have. I don't feel slighted with updates in having a pre-AP car.

..that's because you have a GREEN car. Lucky.

2.28.60 installed according to VisibleTesla, haven't bothered walking out to the garage to read the release notes since they are probably blank.

They are. Minor tweaks blah blah. No noticeable difference.

I live in Windsor Canada. Picked up my new S two weeks ago. I keep getting error messages that the update didn't load (on my phone). Since I live in a condo and park in the basement the only connection is thru the tesla network. Since the signal is weaker in the basement I left the car parked overnight on the parking lot. Not too happy about that. Nothing loaded last night. Any idea if they publish a notice or schedule as to when updates will be broadcast? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Unfortunately, nobody has been able to come up with any schedule of when a given car will get the update. There were early indications, and maybe a statement from Tesla, that wifi connections would be prioritized, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the real world.

However, once you get the alert that you have an update, my understanding is that the software has already been downloaded to the car. It merely needs to install it and restart. So I don't think parking outside will help you much in this case.

I "caught" 2.28.19 when supercharging at the Tesla deliver center in Pleasanton two weeks ago. Nothing visibly new but I'm in for service tomorrow (Tigard OR) so maybe a new version will be waiting for me along with a clean car when I pick her up!!

Got 2.28.60 yesterday. No noticeable difference.

Same here (2.28.60). Just finished a 45 mile drive to work. No noticeable changes here either.

Classics - check your SpC rate. If we get the same taper algo as the 90s that would be a substantial improvement provided by the latest releases (save about 10 min per stop). Remember, not all improvements are visual or ashetic.

This could also be an update to get the cars ready for 8.0. Since the classics haven't had anywhere near as many updates as the autopilots, it is probably time to get a true-up and as many cars on par as possible. Then the "big" upgrade could, in theory, be a bit more consistent and easy to test for.

I don't know anything specific unfortunately, just throwing out guesses.

My scheduled s/w update greeted me this a.m. with a message, saying software was installed and "checking status.." popup seemingly sitting there saying that all night. Wish I snapped a shot of it.

So I dismissed the panel, it went away, I checked the Tesla symbol screen for release number and saw 2.28.60 and the notes just bug fixes.. drives fine. Seems the touchscreen is sluggish on responding to touches, so I'm going to reboot.

But has anyone else experienced this "checking status.." hanging message before? I haven't.

Kinda worried a reboot might gronk the car if something was incomplete.

I noticed that in the calendar app, you can now choose which of your calendars to display. There is a button on the top right corner of the app window. I don't know how long it has been there, but I just noticed it today, after the update.

I am on 2.2045 still. I can look after work and see this. It would be nice to turn off some of my calendars.
