Firmware 8.0

[rog]

I have been using it all day. Tried AP in several different situations, played w/ media etc...........I sure hope there are no bugs in this and it's only slowed the rollout

How is AP compared to the previous version?

And, someone pointed out the right scroll wheel only does temperature and sunroof, so they'll restore previous functionality

Holy hell, did they take away my scroll wheel sunroof control too?
They could move the wheel action type to long press menu, that has no current action.

 

[NigelM]

Correct. They wouldn't halt rollout and pull the uninstalled, staged update from cars if it didn't cause some problem along the lines of:
- failed installation that requires service center action
- safety feature, such as a specific range of radar serial numbers going offline from the firmware change
- operability function, such as drive unit being limited or blowing a contactor fuse

Doesn't even need to be that dramatic. An unanticipated bug that required a daily screen reboot, or disabled something really minor like homelink, would undertsandably be enough for Tesla to want it fixed before continuing.

This will have the side effect that your car will still show the clock icon, but when you go to install the update it will state some kind of error and delete the image. At this point I would expect the clock icon to disappear.

^^ If it were me, I'd try it. We've not heard from anyone being rolled back, or an upgrade downloaded but unavailable yet. The install base isn't too large per the tracker, but you'd think they'd be noise by now. Its biz as usual for @Chopr147 driving around all day.

I like that it takes just one click of the scroll wheel to end a call now. I'm not sold on the cyan color circles - seems a bit cartoonish to me.

Colorblind here, bring on the cyan.

Just about every time there's been a major update, there have been stops and starts, and new builds before it all gets out. Does not mean calamitous issue. This is just how tesla rolls regarding software. They fix stuff as they go.

Halting perhaps, but pulling of any pending installs? Back in 6.2 or 7.0, there was an update that if you had a dual motor car and were in Range Mode, it could blow your contactors. They let that out. But it could be that since they had to replace all those contactors, they decided to backtrack "harder" this time. Either way, I'm not going to worry about it.

I'm so impatient. And I am so jealous of you all that have it. Have any idea what percentage of people get it. Also any tips of getting it sooner. Was at work and now home, car connected to strong WiFi. Only send updates at night?

When I went by the Costa Mesa Sales and Delivery facility last night (9/21) at 9pm, there were staff members still there. The Teslas visible in the window all had lights on, which I recall from an earlier post indicated the update was in progress.

Alas, no joy on my MS getting 8.

Yes, the clock should disappear. Though it's possible it could get hung. Try a "scroll wheel salute" and reboot the CID. If the alarm clock comes back, it's still staged.

OK, an hour later, clock is still there. I gave it a reboot, and the clock is still there.

So I'm going for it. Update is installing now.

S and X at my house. No 8.0 on either car yet. So sad....

It seems smoother. Older version would wait until the last moment to brake and then brake heavily. New version brakes earlier and softer, more human-like. Thumbs up for that.

And it can truly see multiple cars in front now...

 

[studiojon]

Possibly. I'm AP delivery last month 90D. Seems the most cars right now to get 8.0 are 90D.

I have a 90D and don't have it

Nothing here in NH yet either. I got the last update the day after release. Fingers crossed for tonight. It's like having Christmas morning without knowing when that'll be, lol

 

[Evee]

I drove by the SC this am, my car sat all day at work on LTE and got nothing, made the same pass on my way home and now I'm sitting on wifi My moms 90d garaged on wifi hasn't gotten it yet either.

 

[TexasEV]

Anyone who is this eager to be one of the first to get 8.0 has obviously not owned their Tesla very long. It will soon be followed by a bug fix, then the next one, then the next one. We've had as many as five in a few weeks for some previous versions. Be patient and hope you won't get it until it's been tried in tens of thousands of cars and its stable. There's nothing here that's so important you can't wait a week or a few weeks more for it.

Installed this morning. Gone for a couple drives since then. If not for the UI changes I wouldn't really notice anything different. Biggest complaint.... The date is not displayed anywhere. When the top icon bar goes invisible, the calendar icon goes with it so the date is lost. Sigh...

 

[BLKTSLA]

Posted a video of my initial impressions of Autopilot for those interested, will be doing some more videos specific to what they fixed and what they need to fix.

Has anyone tried geofencing today? I'm contemplating if it's worth it or not to attempt to go to the service center...

I have a S85D and drove to the Austin SC. No software so far.
