Firmware 8.0

[TexasEV]

Has anyone else not received the update? I am still waiting. In CA. Tesla Rep, told me 2-3 days from launch.

Most people have not received the update yet, and if a Tesla rep said 2-3 days from launch that belongs in the thread of stupid things Tesla reps said. Most major updates have rolled out over a week or two if not longer.
You can keep track of which types of cars and how many on the firmware tracker site ev-fw.com. And be sure to enter yours when you do get it.

I would honestly expect a week or two. Right now, ev-fw shows 90 or so out of 500+ tracked cars have gotten it. Teslalog shows a similar ratio. It seems like tethering the car to wifi gives you a higher chance of receiving the update, but visiting service centers (geofencing) does not.

Overall, I would just be patient and wait, and say to yourself that suckers like me are the guinea pigs flushing out any bugs that Tesla didn't find.

Interesting. Here's what I see.

You'll have to bring that up with @HankLloydRight . You did get it two days after me so he may have made changes to the detection.

Not happy about this change to remove the Volts & Amps from the display when super charging.
Many Superchargers in California have been slow charging and we need the data for reporting to Tesla.

You just proved my point. All you need is kW. Reporting volts doesn't help. Also, Tesla is well aware of the issues. They have telemetry from every SuC.

By the way, I was just out and about and had a bicycle detected as a motorcycle. It was a tandem, but I doubt that makes much of a difference.

Darn it. I have no wifi where I park my vehicle (basement of a condo building) or at work (similar), yet I have full strength access all day today while parked at one of my children's activities. Of course, there is a massive slow down today of all days. Not that there was ever any guarantee of it getting pushed to me this early.

Got it, tried it, love it! Downloaded yesterday (Saturday) morning while on LTE network at the parking lot for my daughter's swim meet.

Does anyone know how large the 8.0 download is, in MB?

I am sure that tens of thousands of Tesla owners do not yet have the V8.0 update. Relax. It could take a few weeks for everyone to get it.

I keep telling myself that because I REALLY want this update... LOL

I got my S60 no autopilot Monday. Wednesday I got an update. Friday I got 8.0. If this is mostly about Autopilot, I don't know why I got it early. I don't have enough experience with the car to comment either way on improvement/ Unimprovement.

Hey, be happy! You have a new MS, live on the Big Island, and have a great toy that is already ahead of many of us mainland-types, with a few new things you didn't have a week ago! Pretty awesome luck, I'd say -- without even trying! Aloha!

Spend a month touring India by bus then see how worried you are by losing your amps and volts display.

The ability to observe quality, and also to notice when there is a loss of quality, can be found in a lot of different settings.

Does anyone know how large the 8.0 download is, in MB?

According to my router's log, roughly 220MB

I'm happy- just puzzled. Come on out the water's fine! Notice we have the same color

 

[PatFor]

Took possession of my MS (yeah!). My car sat on the lot for two weeks before pickup. The only car at the dealership that had the update was the show car in the sales area. It seems like it may be a long wait. Geofencing does not seem to give an edge.

 

[xkwizit]

I even washed my car hoping that would help get 8.0 faster but still no luck, sigh

It took a week for 7.0 to get to my car. I'm expecting at least the same for 8.0.

How can you even see that through a router log?

I'm sure it depends on your router/router firmware as to whether you can see that kind of detail.

The update came in to my Model S in the wee hours of the morning Friday and my router logs show about 220 MB was received starting around 2 AM. The software update notification showed up on my phone around 5 AM.
