It's new maps, they are 5.1 GB

Oh!!! Thanks!! They just sent out maps not that long ago -- any (unofficial) word on what may be different with this maps release?
Fear not, there is no way version 9.0 would roll out to any random person as the first release of the new version. There will be a MASSIVE fanfare and tweet storm first, and the roll out will be to closed beta testers only. Even they don't have it yet so none of us will be waking up to find we're the first with the magic duke nukem forever release.
Are these maps just used for offline nav and rendering of tiles without networking connectivity? I presume ADAS tiles and such are still in the cloud?

FYI, Elon just confirmed via tweet that V9 WILL include dash cam feature -- in testing now. Unknown whether that'll be in 9.0 or 9.1 or later releases...

Looks like I don’t have them. Interesting. I’m connected to Wi-Fi at home and have .36 firmware.
I think that was last month. But in other words, LOL new LOL feature LOL soon LOL?

No doubt the tweet happened. But there is no such feature, and there is no V9, delivered. Not saying it won't happen. I guess just saying don't hold your breath. And not sure what value such predictive yet unknown outcome posts bring? Especially with the track record for that. Maybe someone can explain. One year ago Elon Musk on Twitter
Confirmed initial v9. Also, “Going through final testing now.” Now, whether that means really final testing or what they meant by their claim of just pending validation way back in 2016...
V9 with beta dash cam, v9.1 good quality according to later tweet by Elon on same thread.
Not going to happen any time soon, based on history. Hope we get it soon though, my dashcam died in recent heat.
My understanding is no, it isn't possible in AP1 cars. The main video stream does not leave the MobileEye unit so it cannot be captured. Apparently there is some way to shift out individual pictures at a slow rate, but I don't think that would suffice for a dash cam.
Ok guys. Navigation must be active (route planned) to see "Tesla navigation". Afaik there's no version ID for it anywhere.
There's also no "neutral net database", the network is trained using a massive database and massive computing power, resulting in algorithms which are fairly small. Only the algorithms are being used by the car. So you don't need a 5GB update to get a newly trained neural net, and a "normal" firmware update is around 500-550 MB.
5GB is extremely likely offline navigation data, maybe including embedded speed data, but not ADAS.
OR maybe it's so big because they are playing with partitions on the MCU to free up space, but that wouldn't necessarily require a big file.
V9, as can easily be established by checking Elons tweets, will come to the early access program by mid- to end of September (probably early October). As the bush drums are still silent, it's safe to assume it's still not with the early access program, so it's safe to say it will still take more than two weeks (to go wide).
Personally I think it will be mid-October before we see anything. And that calculation was possible at the earnings call at the beginning of August, just adding 2 weeks to any date he gave for early access and 4 weeks for wide.
So relax, don't hold your breath and remember "it'll be ready when it's ready!"

You mean 3 months likel... no, let's not keep doing that.
