Firmware 8.0

[rog]

Have a specific router set up for just my Tesla, monitoring the data. At 2 am pst it showed 657mb of data used. 11am now and never got a notification. Not sure why that happened. Hope it comes out soon, I'm not a very patient person lol

That sounds like a lot... my .108 upgrade caused less than 200MB download traffic on my network...

Ok here is a question for all who have upgraded to 8.0

Does the upgrade maintain your favorites, driver profiles, networks, and other setting choices from your last 7.1?

If not, what should we check?

All of that was maintained during the update on my car.

How long does the actual update take on a MS with AP? Trying to head out on a road trip but I want it installed first.

Mine took 1:05 to install.

This happens every major update. I wonder why so many people are eager to be one of the first to get it, when we know there will be several bug fixes over the next few days and weeks.

Just updated. Took about an hour and a quarter.

There is a place to sign in with your own Slacker acct. now. In the past Tesla had the Slacker acct.

Exactly. There has already been one revision to 8.0.xxx so why be so eager...

Tesla needs people like me to install it so they can find the bugs

There has been a place to sign in to Slacker for some time, so you could use your own acct if you elected. Otherwise, a quick email to Tesla Customer Service gets the owner the Tesla userid and password in case you want to long onto it on the WWW as well. I did that so I could sit at my desk and more conveniently set favorites up, then go into my MS and it was all there. Voila!

Does it see the Botts Dots any better with the radar?

As others noted, favorites and driver profiles seem the same. I think it changed my right dashboard view but I changed it back. Contrary to what I read before, sunroof control is STILL an option for right scroller.

Upgrade DID reset my temperature on both sides, so check climate prefs.

And the upgrade did make me look at the Radio tab for the first time, and my god how long have there been multiple HD FM stations?! So out of the loop on radio. Also, can't figure out how to silence the radio (beyond turning the volume to zero)...

No chance yet to try out AP on the highway...

 

[MikeKFE]

Has anyone gotten this or any OTA update during the day or do they always come overnight?

I got mine this morning at like 9:30am mountain time via LTE

 

[gregsapphire]

Something downloading at 30-50kbps. Only connected is Tesla! Please be 8.0!

Hey, long time no see.

Multiple HD channels for stations that deliver them have been available for a number of years, even on MS Media Player. Unless a miracle occurred with 8.0, there is no Media Player OFF. Mute and lower volume are your easiest options without playing Bluetooth or USB games.

Should be able to press the left scroll wheel on steering wheel to mute

It does

 

[4SUPER9]

So has anyone here with 8.0 done the key experiment?

Does AP cut you off if ...

1) you get three visual flashing IP surround warnings (the first and most minimal nag to hold the wheel), or

2) only if you get three audible warnings?

I would like to know this too. There are several threads on this topic (including one that I started) all asking this same question, with no answer as of yet. What are the specific triggers of this?

I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread yet, but did anyone notice the line

Note: Slacker Music is now Streaming Personal Radio

 

[SoccerMan94043]

Yikes. So there is little/no change in the USB interface of the music player? What about searching for tracks on a USB device? Did you see whether that is now available with the v8 update?

There's a change and it looks cleaner. But functionally (for the 5 minutes I played with it) it's a downgrade in almost every way.
