I wish the Moderators/TMC God or whoever, would create a forum for just software versions, irrespective of car model. Hate that we have troll through two threads, and eventually 3, for information that is common to all three.

Hadn't noticed this yet... I keep mine on recirc all the time as when on fresh air I seem to get a pressure sensation in my ears at high speeds that I don't on recirc. This is a bit odd have to admit, not being able to go below 4.

You have to move your Nav map to the bottom half of the screen. I hope they give us a check box for those that want to keep the icons and map at the top of the screen.

Yes, we should and some have. The lines are rather busy. They did ask for a feedback and typed it in.

Yep. I am pretty sure an original iPod had considerably (and by that I mean, orders of magnitude) less hardware to throw at the problem than a Model S does, and managed.
No, it totally happens (or you can place it directly by hold-and-drag the icon to the bottom). The complaint is that when you tap it always goes to the top, which I guess is a change vs. 7.1 (I got in the habit of always drag-to-place so it doesn't affect me).

Got the 8.0 update this AM. Drove 18 miles today, odometer added 500 miles. Not good, especially as this is a leased car.
Terribly disappointed with new Media App. USB has changed for the worse, no sort or alphabet selection.
Autopilot seems squirely to me now, behaved more eratickly than before on my 9 mile commute. Hope this changes with time.

Agree, unless Tesla starts asking for feedback and providing a way to communicate it we only have our 7.1 survey. Suggest if you decide to repurpose that, remove what we already have and greatly simplify the list to a couple of pages that's our best bet. Jon McNeil (@JonMc) who reports to Elon occasionally comes to this forum and might be our best conduit to communicate our feedback.

So I think I cracked it..I washed my car, put it on charger and kissed it goodnight last night. And lo and behold..a little past midnight I got the notification that the update is ready.I even washed my car hoping that would help get 8.0 faster but still no luck, sigh
I had to wait till morning to start the update otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to come back in to the house.
The ver is 2.36.108.
The new GUI feels really nice. The autopilot is asking me to hold the steering wheel at those places it usually wandered a bit.
On the negative side, I didn't get the notification when the update was complete and the Bluetooth gave error which was resolved by reboot of the car.
But oh boy ..it feels like I got a whole new car..what a feeling!

I'm not saying that isn't the case (I mean, we see Tesla do things like remove the Alpha shortcut for USB), but I would hope they better design that to only be done when the car is in park without a driver in the seat (and thus, is "off") rather than impacting operation while the car is in use.

They could have at least left the top status bar and just covered the app icons.

Bill I agree, it will be great when everyone gets V 8.0. The last 10-15 pages have been --- did you get yours, no I have not gotten mine, I just got mine, I am updating now, etc. Most of the posts are Spam.
That's what all* the firmware trackers are for.
I'm only aware of Hank's ev-fw, but in case there are others

I drove 20 miles today using V 8.0 Autopilot. Three times my S85D turned into a car to the right of me. I had to turn away from the car to keep from having an accident. There was nothing on my left so the car was not moving right to move away from another car or structure.
Definitely a good reason to keep your hands on the steering wheel.

I do not think we actually need a check box for keeping the Navigation Map down.... what we need is PERSISTENCE.
So... if you pull / touch the map to reveal the apps and time and LTE etc, it should PERSIST and stay down.... essentially forever.... until you pull it up (if you want). The system should learn your desires.... like a good waitress in your favorite diner.... my waitress does not ask me if I want coffee.... by now she knows.... so should the Tesla learn.
It should know that I like the Media or Energy apps down low.... the Nav and Rear Camera up high.
Once I touch the NAV to reveal the apps from that point on it should stay DOWN.... until I pull it back up.
Thats how it should behave. Really... it is called PERSISTENCE.... much like all your other setting choices.
And it should follow the Driver's Profile.
The person at Tesla who came up with the "lets hide the apps" idea.... well, let's really no longer listen to that person much any more.... shall we?
BTW this was sent to NAservicesupport at Tesla Motors.

My only problem with that is I don't want to remove a suggestion that i think isn't important just because i don't see the value in it. Someone suggested it, so therefore, at just a couple people want it.
What I did do before turning in the list, was remove all the items that required new hardware to accomplish as well as the duplicates. This was a pretty solid list, and even better, there were still loads of suggestions that would benefit the non AP cars as well.
This is why I have heavily suggested to do an update to the list I turned in and like you said, with v8 items removed/updated.
I noticed that last night as well. Do you only use Homelink manually? Perhaps the chime is only for auto activated Homelink?

No. The odometer increased by more than 500 miles in a 18+ mile drive.
Prevoious to 8.0 upgrade we completed a round trip to Key West (yesterday) which left the odometer just below 9000 miles. Updated last night. After my commute and some local shopping (less than 25 miles) today, the odometer reads greater than 9500 miles. I am acutely aware of this as my lease is for 10,000 miles per year and my year isn't up until next April. Essentially this cost me an additional $.25/mile times 500 miles ($.25*500=$125.00)
I will bring this to the attention of my service advisor when I see her next week after I return from a trip to PA tomorrow. (Flying). Not that it will do any good, she ignores my written complaints unless they are safety related. Anyone have a better idea for whom to contact about this?
Let me have 7.1 back. I knew how to deal with its faults.
