I am Electrocutus of TORG.

Resistance was futile.

I have been assimilated.


Your firmware, as it has been, is over.

From this time forward, you will accept, flatness.

Now that HankLlloydRight has been assimilated the end must be near. Let's be optimistic and hope that it means 7.2 with improved UI will roll out soon (but sadly, my usual set of "informants" haven't shared any details of their beta builds with me, so I'm not sure this is actually what's about to happen).

After appearing to be a bigger push at first, 2.12.45 has also petered out at 50 reported installs or ~10% of the people who are currently reporting updates. Very few non-North-American reports on that build (just a couple from Norway and one from Spain that is oddly coded as being from OT which isn't a code I'm familiar with). No Model X, yet, other than that it seems to cover all types and ages of cars.

Keep reporting, please.

Anybody else have Nav stop working, and came back again without having to swap 'puters?

Someone, somewhere, mentioned to clear our the history of your recent travels and that sped nav up for them. I don't know if it's the same problem you're experiencing or not.

FYI, The "hands on wheel" sensing is done by sensing reaction torque. So what's needed is added mass, not "tugging". Just grip the wheel but leave your arm slack. It takes it a second to detect this (probably an integrative noise filter), so once gripped, just hold it for a bit before trying something else.

Like I said earlier, you can attach a mass (seems to need around 7oz minimum on the outer part), and it thinks you are constantly holding it.

Yup. We were all laughing at Mercedes because drivers used the beer can trick to get rid of the nag. Tesla's was a major step above that, according to C&D. But after that review came out, you now need to do this:

Again, when the camera cannot read a speed limit sign or a speed limit sign is not there, it takes the speed limit provided by the Navteq Navigon / Garmin map data. This data is three years out of whack. We need the navigation data desperately updated.

It does? I don't get any speed limit displayed when getting on a new road until the first speed limit sign comes up.

Good discussion....

This thread is about firmware, happy to report that I got 2.12.45 and it has had two miraculous effects on my car:

It fixed broken Bluetooth. BT has been inop for 2+ months with a failure to initialize message. No phone, no connections with devices possible, just "needs service" !when you press the BT symbol on top row.

It fixed voice commands that have also been inop for same period. Voice command tries alway gave "unclear recording try again" for anything tried.

These features (and all Nav) were knocked out after OTA update early Dec.2015 which I think was first patch pushed after getting on 7.1 for a couple weeks.

I had received a coupke OTAs in Jan and Feb and these same features remained broken throughout, even though new features of those releases were installing correctly, so the process was working fine.

Finally, 2.12.45 comes along, and BAM! Bluetooth has teeth again, and voice commands have gained a say again.

Nav is still broken.

Nav just spins and spins and never calculates a route and never brings up the Nav applet on left side of instrument cluster. So all my range calculations and trip planning aids have nothing to go on...

Funny that Nav got knocked out with that same OTA that took out BT and voice. And a hardware swap is the prescription to cure it. When software fixed the other things busted at that same time.

Any suggestions for me to try tonight before my dash is torn down tomorrow... I'm getting a new console computer tomorrow, and doing LTE upgrade at same time.

Anybody else have Nav stop working, and came back again without having to swap 'puters?

Isn't there a known bug where the the memory fills up completely and nav stops working until you do a full factory reset?

Two new versions popped up in the last 24h or so. 2.11.115(?? - we've had 2.12.x for ten days now) with one reported update on a Model S 85D at a service center. And about 25 reports for 2.12.126. US, Canada and The Netherlands, oddly only on large batteries (85 and 90, but 25 reports is just small enough that this could still be coincidence), both AWD and RWD, AP and non-AP, and across all VIN ranges.
