Firmware 8.0

[Apropos]

I've noticed in my AP2 MS (17.9.3), self-steering sometimes works one day on a particular road, and on another day it doesn't, center console says self-steering cannot be enabled (on the same road/speed where it worked before). Like today on my commute, it didn't work on any roads (freeway under 50mph, and side roads under 35mph). Conditions were the same as usual--not sunny or even rainy today. Anyone else notice this?

I've experienced similar issues. Having said that, based on my (limited) Autosteer experience to date, its far from ready. Like others, hoping that an upgrade comes "tomorrow" to fix this.

I found out which day 8.1 isn't going to be released on!

So is 8.1 only for cars with AP2? If not do we know anything that is in it?

Folks do not be too concerned. This is just what happened with AP1's autosteer. I tried it a couple of weeks out of the gate and decided to wait. Even a few months out I found the system happily running me up an interstate exit ramp at 75 mph.

While I don't know, I believe using and over riding the system when it is wrong happens to be one of the best things an owner can do. The car certainly stores camera images and car parameters. My belief is when a user over rides the system that data plus images is sent back to Tesla and used to improve the system.

EM has said high speed autosteer is a priority over 8.1 release. If 8.1 is due out next week then that means possible AP2 update this weekend??

One could hope anyway. . .

It's good to have hope, friend.

8.1 is for API1 and AP2.
Should bring UI improvements.

I really hope 8.1 isn't like the App update, where it is only UI updates and not a significant change in functionality as well.

And Classic (Pre-AP) as well.

Lots of tweeting from Elon this morning re-iterrating Tues/Wed release next week of 8.1...he seems pretty confident in that day to mention it 4-5 times in the past 24 hours.

At the very least it should include the new Linux kernel that significantly improves browser performance. And bring full freeway speed AS to AP2

Great in theory but honestly the browser is low on my list of wants. Full speed AS for sure, better nav system, etc much more wanted/needed

Elon confirmed via Twitter that AP HW2 Autosteer at highway speeds is coming in 8.1 update.

He's been on a Twitter tear today. I missed that one.

I did see the one where he said the Model 3 will be limited to a 75kW pack with current module sizes / density.

Totally agree. The browser in the car sounds like a good idea, but really, at this point, I'm not sure I'd use it much over my phone or iPad. There are so many other things to improve upon with a new kernel, like Nav waypoints (welcome to 1999!!), non-braindead media player, and dozens of other things.
