Firmware 7.1

[bkp_duke]

ROFL @ people thinking 8.0 will be released "on-time".

When has Elon tweeted something and it actually happened on the advertised schedule? Everything is delayed.

We should start a pool on when 8.0 will actually start showing up to the masses. I'm betting on next Tuesday (random guess).

I just got a software update notification on my iphone. Will check when I get home today.

To answer your question: His tweet for 7.0 last October and 7.1 this year were exactly on time So to answer your question, as far as updates go every.single.time!

Then he's got about 17 hours left in PST to prove me wrong.

Got an update today. expecting it to be the "anti-Chinese hackers security rollout."

 

[GoTslaGo]

Got the notification before going to bed last night. 2.36.31 (I assume). Installed overnight.

As I remember from last year 7.0 started on the West Coast around 9 or 10 pm and rolled East. 7.1 was just the opposite and rolled West. We will have to see but absent a tweet from Elon stating otherwise it's happening today (I hope).

From this we can conclude the update will begin from the center of the earth and short people below sea level will receive the update first, and cars parked in high garages in Denver will receive it last.

And don't forget to have all your valve stems pointing "up".

This was just now tweeted by Elon:

...I guess all those people camping out have more time on their hands.

 

[EMdoc12]

It starts tonight. Woohoo!!!

This is Elon's favorite new feature. Uh oh he must never use Nav or Media Player

"My favorite new feature is the always-on max temp control for keeping kids and pets safe from overheating."
"Tesla keeps temp below 40C/105F by automatically venting cabin & turning on AC when needed. Can do this for up to a year on a full charge."

Somehow I was reminded last night of Linus waiting all night out in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin to appear.

Edit: fixed weird grammar.

Hmmmm, isn't there a bet on whether 8.0 will come out today? (Ahem @calisnow). Where's that thread???

Found it!

If 8.0 ships tomorrow everyone's next Tesla payment is on me!

That's a nice feature to have, but that won't stop people from freaking out if a pet is left inside the car and passers by don't know the A/C is on. Tesla should send little display cards for the windows: "A/C is on, pet is comfortable!" and a spot for a cell-phone number "just in case".

I don't believe kids should ever be left alone in a parked car, so that's a different issue -- I'm surprised Elon even mentioned kids left in parked/locked cars.

Yes, kids shouldn't be left alone in the cars, but unfortunately it happens (newborn to day care, parents just got off paternity/maternity leave, sleep deprived, back to work, new routine, forgot...).

This will be great to hopefully mitigate things!

Or to honk if it detects someone in the seat but the key is out of the car. Just like when I don't close the frunk all the way the car honks at me.

I always figured that these roll outs are automated. Yet this morning I received an email reply to a query (non-firmware related) I submitted to Tesla around 7 pm or so. It was time stamped 2:47am! I'm starting to wonder if there is a cadre of Coders/IT guys pushing things out all night!?
