Firmware 8.0

[vdiv]

It doesn't even show you the FM frequency! Why is it different from the US version? At least it appears that you have RDS, so it can retune to a simulcast on a different frequency when the signal gets low, but that is even a more important reason to show you the current frequency!

I think it is becoming apparent that Tesla needs to hire more electrical engineers, none were consulted when designing this interface.

Not sure if I'm the only one this is happening to or not but I find myself hanging up on people prematurely now because the steering wheel button hangs up the first time now. You used to have to press it once to bring up the call meme then a second press to hang up. I always used to press once as I was nearing the end of my call... now I rudely cut people off.

I've found the same. Receive call, say hello, close the roof, roof stays open, call ended. ... Frustrating

 

[Casavant]

Ha! Now I forget what I posted!

My mother was a vocabulary and grammar fanatic. She taught me well. At 58, it still cracks me up that I have this ridiculous lexicon of words that some people have never heard. Like (my absolute favorite): perspicacity. We should all have it.

Look that baby up!

The perspicacity of your comment is eloquent and correct.

No, no, no. What they need to do is give the developers a Tesla to actually drive for a few months. This is simply a problem of the software guys having no idea how the end user is trying to actually use the software. They have tons of TEFV's for this very purpose. Why not test software like they test hardware?

Same.

 

[DCGOO]

Same.

Damn! That's it... I was trying figure what the heck was happening!

I made a quick video that outlines some of the features I think should be included in the Tesla Media App. These were features that I (and others) suggested in the 7.1 voting pole and received moderate to strong support, along with the many other media suggestions. The feature requests were based on the Empeg player software that I showcase in the video. I used an Empeg for 12 years, before the Tesla and I found a lot of it's functions to be invaluable when listening to MP3 audio in the car.

Omg. Empeg!!! Have one myself, still the best auto audio interface in the world.

EU deployment of 8.0.

How many have completed the updated to 8.0 in Europe ?
I am in Switzerland and still waiting to get it.

Also in Switzerland (Lausanne), still waiting... Considering drive to Geneva SC to see if that helps

YES! Another one!

I don't want to discourage you, but I tried two different geofence areas, didn't work.

 

[chillaban]

Geofences don't seem to do anything for the 8.0 update...

Same experience here. Initial install failed and no re-download yest despite geofencing. On the other hand I am still enjoying the 7.1 interface.

Scuttlebutt is that geofencing is now only for cars that are actively in service. In the API, they added a field to note whether a car is "in-service" (with all cars tested so far being 'NO'), so it could be that this field gets changed by the service team when they open a ticket on the car. It is likely automated based on the received/delivered date and times that have been on our service invoices already.

Your car needs an RO and GeoFence and WiFi to service.

Just made a business trip to Italy and...bingo !
Downloaded 8.0 via LTE and installed.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Crap.. That sounds more and more that firmware updates while in for service are an automatic procedure. I have 5 or 6 months until I'm up for annual service, I sure hope an 8.1 is out by then to fix a lot of these problems.

Speculation or fact? If fact how did you find out?

It's always fun, although often obfuscatory, to be able to pull out a sesquipedalianism.

Here's another new one in 8.0 for me. AP can actually read the concrete "sidewalk" on the left-most lane of the bay bridge as a proper lane, and stays further to the right - just as I would if I were steering myself:

 

[mrElbe]

Mine which is still on 7.1 also did the curb recognition quite well yesterday while on AP.
