Firmware 7.1

[In2oil]

Well... I decided to to the downgrade to V7.1 I am not very excited about it. Since Canada has been left out of some of the really cool summon feature! The USA gets it and we don't! I am concerned I might be getting less features on this version. For some reason i was under the impression that TESLA was listening to owners and perhaps offer some new designs or features. I was hoping to get the KM miles on the dashboard,as well I don;t really care to know that the car sees other car on the auto pilot. I am more interested in information such as regen, power usage. I would have really like a new Option for the insane mode! now colors, maybe orange or red to show that the car is in High power mode.

It would be awesome to see an interactive graphic picture of the system in real time. information such as temperature of batteries, charge, re-gen.

any news on the 90d cars getting the upgrade?
I am still anxiously awaiting for my car to get it

More importantly (at lest to me), is once some 90D owner start getting it: Does it correct the continual range loss issue?

My range at 90% now down from 257 to 243 in just 3 months. :crying:

I'm curious, if you're not happy with doing it, and you believe it to be a downgrade, why are you doing it?

+1 Me too. I hope you reported it to Tesla and had them check out your hardware. Best way to keep them honest.

Question: how do I make summon stop at a specific point? My driveway is less than 39ft wide, so it wants to go on the grass.

You nailed it on this one @eye.surgeon. We do have a tendency to not appreciate what we have and take things for granted.

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

Do they normally continue sending out updates on a Sunday?

I got it this morning.

I Don't have it yet, but from instructions I've read, Push the FOB lock button to stop.

Not really, Airlines do suck in the way they treat people. It is a flying cattle car.

You may have missed the point of the piece.

 

[Chasedrgc1223]

That is correct, but rather than just canceling it, what about a trained stopping position?

I have pretty much read this whole thread today but I don't remember anyone asking why this was not the big revamp of the UI that Musk said was coming in 7.1? I was thinking this would be the release that changed the real estate of the screen completely and fixed the effed up way the music app works, changed the navigation to WAYZ or something that actually works, etc. I love the car, and all the improvements, but I agree with many here that Summon in this initial incarnation is not overly helpful and more of a novelty. I love AP but would give up more improvements to that if we'd get the UI overhaul we were promised. Things like dropping the audio select button is taking us backwards, not forwards in this manner.

Anyone know what the status of the overhaul is?

. Elon. I suspect no one here has insider information they can share. Many of us continue to hope.

I think maybe they pushed up the release of the summon feature to get some press before any competitor announcements at the Detroit Auto Show this week.

Hopefully the UI improvement are still coming.

I don't see any indication that summoning pays attention to painted lines at all. I'm not sure why they thought it would in that video.

Because "we" were too excited to read/comprehend the release notes. Whoops. I've updated the video with text bubbles clarifying.

Doesn't look like they followed instructions. Doesn't it have to pass the spot then back in? I'm guessing, I don't have the update yet.

Nope, we were just rushing to test things in open space before attempting in our narrow garage.

They were testing the auto summoning which this really isn't the right demo for.

Exactly.

When backing out of the garage can you tell the car how far to back out?

You can use your fob to manually stop it, which is what we need to do since our driveway is < 39'.

Here is a video of the car parking in a narrow garage. (Please be kind - it was literally a first attempt, one take, and I'm a blubbering buffoon.)

Does Summon work, in say, a restaurant parking lot?

 

[Chasedrgc1223]

Any suggestions as to getting over the lip for garages? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't , even after engaging and re-engaging summon. That's my biggest complaint; that you can't check a box to allow more power when a lip is present, and you'd assume responsibility.

Off topic, but...Its January, you have PA tags, and your grass is crazy green!

This weather has been nuts. I'm also not wearing a jacket! It hit 50 yesterday, 60 today, but high will be low 30s tomorrow.
