Firmware 8.0

[MarcG]

More fun 8.0 tidbits, now that I've had a chance to work less and drive more:

1. Lane tracking at low speeds really helps keep my car in its lane in stop-n-go traffic and avoids unintended lane changes if the car ahead does so - to me this is one of the best improvements in 8.0

2. The map auto-zoom seems to remember the last zoom level for surface streets, but not for freeways

3. Autosteer's engage/disengage chime doesn't always lower the radio level, but I have yet to figure out when it doesn't (it still does > 90% of the time from what I've experienced so far)

I just got 8.0; Norwegian car in the UAE.

I noticed on the settings screen that Cabin Overheat Protection is "Not available when alarm is enabled".

Does that mean it deactivates if the alarm is triggered or simply does not work if the alarm is active?

 

[MuppetOwl]

If the car have the alarm package with intrusion sensors. Heating or cooling the cabin will make the alarm go off. Have had that issue on my car many times.

"Security Package: In addition to the standard security features, overhead intrusion sensors and battery-backed alarm sirens are now available."

The security package is/was a Europe only option.

Not fair Europe gets the security package

Not fair Europe gets the security package

... we paid also more which is not only because of the shipment ...
And European insurance companies honour this as many car are stolen (I think BMW X5 is therefore one of the expensiv cars to insure for theft). Anyhow: I agree to K-MTG ... this should be standard for such a car!

I just did install 2.40.21 it took 1h10m.

I wanted to test pedestrian collision warning and while I was an autopilot I purposely didn't decelerate while approaching pedestrian crossing.


Car gave me collision warning and also shoved pedestrian in speedometer.

On minor flaw, I also have the "charge port door" bug.

shoved pedestrian in speedometer.

That sounds painful; hope he wasn't hurt

I don't want to correct that

Just got 8.0 tonight- is the climate control pop-up the same now as it used to be? Hard to remember what I had in 7.1 only this morning!!!!!
Something tells me the pop-up is like it was in 6.2, but without the "dense" little summary pane that is there all the time.
Hmmm.
Maybe I just need a bit of sleep....

Got 8.0 here in the UK last night, no problems as yet.

 

[Ames]

I like the new custom trip meters. Ludicrous owners can now track events particular to their vehicles...

 

[Sousagil90D]

8.0 in Portugal. So far no problems, but my commute is 5km.

The EU version (2.40.21) seems to be missing the "highway interchange" feature of the autopilot. Dang

No highway interchange in the US either. I believe that will be part of 8.1 (hopefully!)

Tesla: please fix "Charge port needs replacing" -bug!

...Tesla: please fix "Charge port needs replacing" -bug!

I suggest you and others report the problem directly to Tesla. They don't necessarily read this forum. Good luck

Indeed. But i used the wrong terms, i meant the "Freeway Exit" Feature, where it takes the exit upon activating the signal, as demonstrated here:

Charge port error message is apparently fixed now. At least I didn't get it anymore.

It is interesting that the EU version of the firmware has the posted / recognized speed limit sign in a circle vs the US rectangular graphic.
A nice touch by Tesla...

I'm sure the pedestrians appreciated you using them as test subjects.
