Looks like 8.4 has been out a few days, likely a bug fix for issues in 8.3. Anyone have any info?

Firmware 8.4
- Thread starter insaneoctane
- Start date
It’s a replacement for the pulled 2019.8.3 and release notes are the same. Several threads on it. 
And TeslaFi people didn’t even get an email because 2019.9 was already out! Arg!

Only difference detectable from 8.3 is that the freezing of all displays for like a minute followed by spontaneous reset while driving [crosses fingers] no longer happens, which I had been seeing twice a day and suspect may have been the main bug being squashed. AP behaviour is about identical AFAICT.
The download was a 162MB patch on 8.3, so a relatively small and quick update.

Just got it, and my Taptes Qi charger on the left side lights up, but doesn't charge now. Could this be a firmware issue, or could the update have fried the charger?

Agree, AP was very jittery with accel/decel and late braking on 8.3, I stopped using it. 8.4 much smoother again.

Not since I got 8.4 on Saturday. With 8.3 I had several random reboots and frozen screens throughout the week that I had it.

I was getting that on version 2019.5.15, finally got upgrade to 8.x series (after creating service appointment to force it, and Tesla was blaming me for it even though it's on a strong WiFi signal at home, uploads hundreds of megabytes of videos per night for their FSD AI learning, when I'm in the road it's on a Verizon jetpack at all times, then they tell me this... Good Morning Patrick, this is Tesla in Raleigh. We wanted to reach out to you and let you know that we will push the latest Firmware update this one-time; but in the future please make sure you are connected to a WiFi network to receive the updates as they roll out in batches. We will go ahead and cancel the appointment. Thanks!) this morning at version 2019.8.4, we'll see.
I’m still on 7.11 as well, wondering the same thing. No updates here
Ah. I had upgraded to 8.3 and had this happen for the very first time last night. My garage door didn't open and pressing the screen icon to open it showed me that the whole screen was frozen. A quick reset fixed it. Glad they squashed that one quickly.

I'd kill to get 7.11 as I'd be able to charge faster as I use superchargers a lot because I travel long distances all the time and your version does that. I'll trade!

If every Tesla owner created a service appointment to force an update, it would create mass unnecessary backlogs. At a time when Tesla is already struggling.
You might actually need legitimate repairs one day. What would your reaction be if the service centre said that you need to wait 3 month for us to get through all the software force appointments first.
The updates eventually come through. Patience is much better than creating backlogs.
I figure that’s why we’re not getting updates, and it gives access to the SC 3.0 in Fremont. It would be a downgrade for SC access.
