Firmware 7.1

[Dithermaster]

To get back onto topic. My cars at the service center got the Tuesday update right before I dropped it off and today I received a notification of another update. I don't have the car so have no idea what was updated but did anyone else receive two updates this week? And yes I've done all previous updates.

The Service Center will often stage updates that haven't been sent over-the-air yet, and your other update was a regular over-the-air update. So anyone having a service appointment near a regular update might see two in one week.

The amusing thing to me was that the Service Center notes said I was running "deprecated firmware" even though it had been updated only 3 week prior.

I'm guessing (but haven't checked) that many of the low-count firmware versions seen on Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App are from Service Center updates. They seem to have the latest bits.

I have not been around the forums as much as usual the past few weeks, so it is possible the following has been mentioned / discussed, but I did get caught up on this thread, and I am reasonably certain it has not been mentioned here, where it belongs, so...

Driving today, on version 7.1.2.18.77, with range mode on, I changed my temperature from 64 to "lo" and the fan speed kicked all the way up to 11. In the past, with range mode on, the fan speed would have been limited to 8.

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but this was new (and welcomed) behavior for me.

Generally speaking, it smart for Tesla to assume that LO and HI mean "max" and do indeed provide "max". Some will probably complain about it, but they easily can choose LO or HI and select a fan speed of 8 if they so desire.

Yes, I completely support this change. I just didn't know if it had been reported previously or not, so wanted to make sure to make others aware of it,

Hey Andy, nice catch I will give it a try. I do recall it only going up to 8 but going to 11 is really fine with me when you wand HI or LO heating or cooling. I think Tesla should maintain that change.

Interesting to see your post. Since my last update, I'm getting a lot more of those triple quick beep beep beep alarms for no reasons. When I hope the door get them at times, sometimes just in the middle of driving I get them and there are no visuals, etc. It is usually the alarm you here when something isn't available and/or there is an error.

 

[RogerHScott]

Me, beep-beep-beep, too. Not super often, but they're there.

What is the version number of your last update?

The 3 "dings" is what happens if you press the center fob button with the doors open.

The 3 "dings" is what happens if you press the center fob button with the doors open.

Or when you press both pedals.
Or when auto steer is unavailable.
Or when the air suspension can't be raised.
Or when you try to shift to park or reverse going too fast.

Plenty of beep-beep-beep events

 

[RogerHScott]

But at least there's that helpful pop-up on the center console explaining what that particular beep-beep-beep means in that context.
Oh, wait, there's not...

This is true. There have been times I got the triple beep and had no idea why just staring at the IC to find out but nothing was there.

At those times it means "Failure to display helpful popup."

Does the cruise control keep you from coasting (downhill, presumably) faster than your set speed? If so, does it use regen,
braking, or some combination to slow you down? It seems like it should and it should (use at least some regen). This would
eliminate the need to do the ride-the-go-pedal equivalent of riding the brake down hill.

Yes.

The "Brap brap brap" noise is different from the 3 higher pitched "chime" sounds you get form the lock attempt.

I did just get a prompt for a software update here on the west coast. Will install it tomorrow when I get to work and see what it brings unless it's the version folks are talking about already above

*edit, the last version I got about a week ago was the one that affected summon so people can't crash their cars into stuff so the one I'm being prompted for now is above that one.

 

[JenniferQ]

I just got one, as well. Don't want Alarm Buster. Sure would be nice if we knew the version before deciding to update. Sigh.

My TPMS went off and after 30 mins at a quick stop tire shop, they found no apparent tire issue. Anyone else? Note: this was pre-whatever this-latest-update-is.

 

[RogerHScott]

Those of us farther east just wait for news stories about dozens of west coast Teslas running amok before we decide to download
