Firmware 8.0 - For Classic Model S

[mknox]

For some reason when I'm supercharging occasionally my power windows fail to go up or down till I unplug from the supercharger.

I think I can top that: When I'm plugged into a Supercharger, my wipers won't work. My washers will squirt fluid onto the glass, but no wiper action whether I press the button or turn the switch. As far as I can tell, every other 12v accessory works when I'm Supercharging. Once I unplug, my wipers come back to life.

Maybe Tesla doesn't want you to get wet while Supercharging? lol

Weird then that it'll let me squirt washer fluid all over the glass, but not wipe it away

Maybe the car senses that it needs to be cooled off? lol sorry, this weird limitation makes no sense and I totally agree.

So, perhaps a little thing, but the voice recognition seems better after the last update. Before, the car never understood my wife's last name--now it gets it every time.

Hmmm, that would concern me. Have you noticed your wife spending more time in the garage lately?

I figured out what is is: Since the last (or at least a recent) update, the wipers look like they won't work when the car is in what I call "Accessory Mode". That is to say when the displays powered up after you get in, but not "On" which happens after you tap the brake pedal. All other 12v accessories seem to work, including the washers, just no wipers. Of course, when you're at at Supercharger, the car cannot be turned "On" when you tap the brake, and that just happened to be where I was when I first noticed it.

Version 2018.14.2 a888808e with the new maps sure is freezing the main display a lot causing me to have to reboot about once a day -- usually when I am using the browser which is now much improved. Then, after the screen reboots, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes for the cell signal to come back, which first says 3G then after a minute or so goes to LTE. I wonder if the LTE upgrade is causing the freezing? Anyone else?

I don't have the LTE upgrade and am having similar issues. Not daily, but probably every couple of days. Have even had to reboot to just start the car once or twice.

I don't know what's causing your freezes, but it's normal for it to take several minutes to get a connection and to show 3G for a while before LTE when rebooting. I had the LTE upgrade installed last summer and I'm not seeing any crashes/freezes with 2018.14.2 a88808e.

No LTE freezes on a88808e for me. Have had it for a couple of weeks.

 

[Sparrow]

I have had version 2018.14.2 for only a couple of days and LTE for a couple of years (I think), but do not have the new maps. Everything is working normally for me with no freezing.

Ditto this scenario for me.

Maybe it's a good thing I don't have the new maps. What's the dead giveaway tell if new maps are installed?

On the left side of the instrument console, when you navigate to a destination, if you have the new maps, you'll see cross-streets you are passing in black bubbles and streets you need to turn at in blue bubbles.

 

[Canuck]

You'll notice it right away since it looks different on the dashboard screen. In addition to what @Peter_M said, there's no more arrow with the dot telling you when to turn.

I never got any sort of notification, one day I just saw the maps on the dash looked different. They scroll much smoother.

 

[Canuck]

Before this update it was rare that I had a freeze the caused me to reboot so I didn't know how long the reconnection to cell took or that it went to 3G before LTE. Thanks for the input everyone.

No mention of updates for AP1 version Models ...

Tesla’s version 9 software update is coming in August with first ‘full self-driving features’, says Elon Musk

Tesla’s next major software update ‘version 9.0’ is now set for a release in August and it will include the first ‘full self-driving features’ for Autopilot 2.0 vehicles, says CEO Elon Musk Version 8.0 came back in 2016. It was Tesla’s most significant over-the-air software update at the time. It featured a user interface refresh, a few new features, and several improvements related to Autopilot.

Almost two years later, it looks like Version 9.0 is also going to bring a similar important update to Tesla’s software. Musk announced on Twitter last night that the version 9.0 is coming in August and that it would even include the first “full self-driving features”:

Why would you expect an update to AP 1.0? Tesla is on to better things.

I think you may be right on that ... they should be working on improving AP2 to reach parity with AP1
