Firmware 7.1

[Roadrunner13]

I am confused by what is being referenced as the "Launch Mode" button. My P85D has the Max Power button under the Sport/Insane toggle, but I have never seen anything that says Launch Mode, either in the previous version 7.0 (2.9.12) or 7/ (2.9.154)?

Check this thread, the first post has the release note on how to enable it:
http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/58826-New-Launch-Mode-firmware-2-9-40

...and it is included in Canada.
Your question prompted me to RTFM and I had forgotten about enabling the Max Battery Power mode :redface:

Some have, up thread.

Right one person.

We are on a long road trip in the US with our Canadian S85D. Will we be able to download the 7.1 upgrade through LTE/3G or only wifi? Will we get the notice while out of country with the car?
Seen nothing yet.

I am on a road trip in Texas and am based in Colorado. I got the 7.1 upgrade OTA just fine yesterday.

Just don't do the upgrade while you are doing any critical charging or the such. As I learned on a previous upgrade, the charging gets interrupted a few times in the upgrade process.

Has anyone had a chance to try Auto-summoning into a garage on an angle vs straight in? Our garage needs us to get in on an angle with the garage door pillar on one side and a car on the other. Haven't gotten the update yet. Thanks

It will only go in the general direction you pointed the car. It doesn't seem to adjust the angle based on walls, cars, or other obstacles. It will stop before hitting those though.

I've rebooted both consoles TWICE and did a rain dance. I brought rain to Thousand Oaks but no update...so sad!

So you are the one who brought me more rain. I was the first one (maybe 2nd) who got the 7.0 update but still no 7.1.

Yeah sorry about that. [emoji3]

So Elon just tweeted:

"@elonmusk: In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY"

Only if paired with an Uber driver, at least with today's hardware.

Highly doubt that this will be possible with the current AP HW. And highly doubt that regulations will allow that in 2 years.

He said during the press Q&A today (Sunday) that they are working on an enhanced sensor suite that isn't ready for production yet, but would be required for this.

Well, there are hints in the firmware from my hacking efforts of things like another camera and front and rear corner radars...

 

[slevit1md]

Has anybody received and update today? 1/10? Seems like they were all yesterday?

Do they normally continue sending out updates on a Sunday?

Tracker shows 10 today, although I don't know if that means they were updated today, or just logged into the tracker today. I don't see any reason why updates shouldn't go out on Sunday since they don't presumably require a person to manually do anything. I'm still impatiently awaiting my upgrade. This does seem a lot slower than 7.0 and I'm hoping it's not a typical update that can take weeks!

I'm curious if he's envisioning the car driving, charging, parking LA -> NY without human intervention in about 2 years. If so, that's about half the time he mentioned a month or so ago which was 4-5 years for full autonomous driving if I recall correctly. Quite a goal.

For those who have not seen it, a new tweet (30 minutes ago) from Elon Musk:

"In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY"

BTW, I see that there's a newly updated version of the Tesla app on the iTunes store. Not surprisingly the text indicates the updates include:

-Summon Model S
-Open/Close a HomeLink-controlled garage door (for U.S. vehicles only)

...a few more details to go along with Elon's tweet here from his Press Conference, including a whole lot more hardware redundancy is needed to make no physical driver a reality. Elon Musk predicts a Tesla will be able to drive itself across the country in 2018 | The Verge

 

[Vince Cobelo]

They better have something in the works better than the Tesla "probe" that was a epic fail. Go to induction charging somehow. Only way to really do it unattended.

Elon just tweeted

First baby step in Tesla Summon capability now downloading over-the-air with V7.1

Tap your phone or key and your car will open the garage door, exit, close the door and come to you. Will do same in reverse for unsummon.

In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you're in LA and the car is in NY

edit: Dammit i'm too slow others beat me to it.

Thanks for the link. The man is truly a visionary.

… and a dedicated thread.

Could we please keep this thread on topic (so 7.1 firmware only) ?

Also, if you do not have the update yet; please don't complain about it here, unless you have an idea about how Tesla rolls its update out.
Check the firmware update tracker to see if you can find any correlation.

Tesla's anti-android devs stike again...
