Hopefully 8.5 fixes all the bugs in 8.3. I've had to hard reset my car every day since getting 8.3 due to screen freezes, gear shifting failures, etc. 8.3 really wasn't ready for primetime.
It’s not early access any more. It has been for a couple of weeks at least (2019.9)
I personally haven't had any issues with 8.3. But clearly it's been acting weird for a lot of people.

So it looks like the Autosteer Stop Light Warning will work on just the basic Autopilot, with Autosteer engaged? I was thinking all that stop light recognition stuff was for FSD only. Then again maybe because it's just a warning only, and not stopping for you like FSD will??

That seems to be right- also smart because once it gets decent it might encourage a few FSD upsells

I wish they would get people off of 8.3 already. I'm just driving one of my ICE's for now. It's just not worth the hassle of dealing with a screen that turns off while driving and other weirdness that has been happening.

I think I’ve restarted my screen on 2019.8.3 more times than the cumulative restarts over the entire year I’ve had the car. It’s a mess.

Don't know what version Sheryl Crow is using, but she got a black screen, too. Elon replies to her tweet a few times.

Of course, hers may have just been a kid putting it on night mode and setting brightness to 0%.

Give me some sugar baby
She didn't say exactly what the problem was but from her and Musk response it sounds like her kid changed it to night mode and turned the brightness down to zero, rendering it unusable during the daytime.
However she says a reset didn't fix it so not sure what is up with that.

Still on 5.15 here and I have full bars of WiFi for my car every day. I must have made the Tesla gods mad!

Same im stuck on 5.15 jail. Sounds like its a good thing I missed 8.3 or 8.4 tho. Hopefully get 8.5 by weeks end.
It gets to your car when it gets there... there's no way to rush it. Best option is to make sure your car is connected to WiFi at home. Tesla will only start a broader roll out to the fleet once they are sure there are no strange edge cases from the handful of vehicles that have received 2019.8.5 so far.
