Firmware 8.0

[zambono]

Maybe it's just me, but these updates don't get me as excited as the rest of you. Now when we get the ability to mirror our phones or at the very least have Waze integrated into our nav system, then I'll do cartwheels!

So I know we don't have Waze but we do have google maps. It doesn't alert for cams and cops but we have pretty up to date traffic info.

with all the chatter about further AP restrictions I was going to hold off updating until there was a bit more feedback as I really am not a fan of all this unexpected slowing down stuff, and reckon it's only a matter of time before it induces a rear end crash either into someones Telsa or more likely a few cars back in a the line.

However, my wife just came in and excitedly told that she had set the car to update all on her own.
Ever so proud at her technical prowess she was.

I would divorce her - but well it's Christmas ...

No new firmware for me, yet. But, I was notified this afternoon "you are now using the most recent versions of map data" So, I guess new maps are rolling out.

Update: missed posts about 5 up. So, this is direct confirmation of new maps

Where does that notification show up? On your phone, or in the car?

Both

I received the update this morning. I had to remove my USB drive and reinsert it for it to be recognized.

Definitely in your car, on the 17" display. If you have the correct notification enabled in the Tesla app, it will also show up on your phone.

Edit: Just realized the above was referring to map updates. My answer was talking about firmware updates.

I've only received one map update, and as I recall notification of it only showed up in the car.

I got the update notification but I am out of town, if 8.1 is available by the time I get back will my car download 8.1 and I can upgrade directly? Or will I have to update this update first?

It seems that Jason found a new easter egg in 2.50.114!

You'll have to take this update first. The car won't download another firmware update with one waiting to be installed.

Have yet to get a notification or update pop up on car, but my Tesla downloaded a large update.

 

[Cyclone]

But the navigation that is saying what exit to take is Garmin/Navigon. So AP has to integrate with the Garmin/Navigon system. (Unless Tesla replaces that with a new navigation system that is integrated with AP.)

They are more likely using the high definition Maps Elon talked about a few months ago for that decision making. We know AutoPilot 1 cars use tiles compiled by Tesla. There is no reason to believe AutoPilot 2 would use similar compiled data.

I wonder if it is the same one that Ingineer commented about on TMC.

Since I couldn't find that, I didn't charge my loaner at the house. I figured that, worst case scenario, I would just do a factory reset on it to wipe out the settings.

Cyclone: Tried not recharging from home but too many days with the loaner eventually had to. Then went to do a 'factory reset' as you mentioned but then this came up

... oh well

Yikes. So much for that idea. Tesla needs to deal with this. I would seriously want to see a technician do a factory reset and confirm that it removed my address if I were in this situation. Yeah I'm a little bit paranoid. Maybe more than a little but given how things are nowadays.

Were you the person who asked me recently if Tesla ever answered my query on the subject of erasing charging locations? Anyway, no they didn't give me a useful answer.

Bruce.

 

[zambono]

Since when are you not able to remove charging locations? 8.0?

After last nights huge download of 4.2Gb I just now today got the 2.50.114. By wifi

4GB sounds like the size of the new maps update. Did you get that too?

 

[Whitmarsh]

That sounds like the size of a map update... So maybe you will get a notice about your maps being updated soon.

I thought map updates come only over wifi - Owners' Manual p123.

Same here - no update notification but the car is definitely gnawing on some data. The last 24 hours:

This morning I got notification of software update. When I went out to the car to install it, I was also notified in car that Map Data had been updated.

Installing firmware now...
