Have you tried to reboot the car? I see in many posts that sometimes after an update doing a reboot fixes issues. Hoping that fixes any issues you have.

Had purple rear camera malaise with *.6.1
and green rear camera malaise with *.10.4.
Has anyone had either with *.12?
Both were banished with a scroll wheel reboot. Thanks in advance.

MS 85D HW1 Late 2015
We drove our 2015 MS 85D, AP1 up to Newport, OR and back to Coos Bay on OR 101 today. I feel the AP tracked well and the hill wobble has been fixed. I didn't trust it on the curves between Yachats and Florence, but it worked almost flawlessly elsewhere.
Overall, welcomed improvement from previous versions!

S90D HW3.0 MCU1 "No FSD 7 years" 2022.8.10.16
On my 2018.12, I notice that the IC would render a car that is at the edge of the detection range (~100m) too far to the left. Even when it is center well in its lane to my eyes, the IC would render it straddling the left lane. It won’t be until the car is closer say 50m from me or so that it would snap back to center. When it is transitioning the car image would snap back and forward between the correct center and wrong left position. Anyone else seen this? Also, is it me or does the detection range of the cars in the IC seems really short. When it is barely visible in the faded horizon in he IC, the car is only say 100m away in real life. Does AP2.5 have longer detection range?
I have s100d ap2 delivered June 2017. This behaviour started with 2018.10 and is still present 2018.12
The actual AP function works very well though. Just rendering of cars are off.

My car has downloaded over 30 GB of data after getting .12. I rebooted the MCU and now it’s stopped downloading.
AP1 is smoother in this update.

You get a 'like' for the use of the words malaise and banished.

Thanks - and here I figured it was for the amalgamation of purple and green in the same post as a tribute to the classic, neon and timeless style of Miami Vice.

I know a lot of people are talking about the new maps update that comes with the latest firmware, but has anybody noticed that the rear camera looks better? When I was driving I noticed that the picture is a lot clearer.
Fairly certain it was present for me on 2018.6.1 already, but feels to have gotten more pronounced in 2018.10.4.
Haven't really driven .12 yet.
It was downloading the new map files and you probably stopped it before it was done.
I got 2018.12 early morning on the 28th and the last few days I've noticed that the vampire drain when parked and not plugged in was less, but the vampire drain sitting plugged in at home was way up. I was seeing 4 miles of range drop in a few hours. I washed the car while listening to a memory stick in the car Saturday afternoon and it ate about 4 miles of range sitting in the driveway. The car has to be "idling" to play the infotainment system with nobody in the car (hit the brake and close the door).
We went and ran some errands Saturday around 6 PM. We went in a store and after getting back the middle screen rebooted when I started the car. When it came back up, the change notes for the new map system popped up which weren't there right after the upgrade. Immediately after the upgrade the only note was about using the phone app to open the frunk or trunk and some older notes.
I didn't notice any major differences with the maps though.
It appears it can take a few days for the new maps to fully download to the car. You get a second surprise update when they finish loading.
Connect the car to home Wifi with a medium/advanced router and monitor the total bandwidth used by the Tesla on the router web page.
The original navigation software used routing software and navigation map data from Navigon/Garmin.
The new navigation software is evidently using maps from Mapbox and Valhalla's routing software (Valhalla was acquired by Mapbox).
NAV 1.0 displayed Google road and satellite maps on the console display and used the offline navigation map database for routing and for display on the dashboard.
If the console display for NAV 2.0 shows "Google" in the lower right corner, then Google maps are still being used for the console display. If the Google logo is gone, then the console maps must be from another source, which might be the offline navigation map database (which seems unlikely, due to the size of the satellite data).
Since we haven't received the update on either of our Model S cars yet, can't verify this ourselves - yet...

Depending on your level of geekyness, checkout DD-WRT on google. Plenty of forums there for that if you have questions.

So we garage our 2 Teslas deep underground at both Home and Work with no WiFi but surprisingly great LTE. One car was at SC yesterday but they refused to load the maps update, saying “be patient.” Any thoughts on how to get this update, short of parking our cars on the street at night (bad idea where we live - guaranteed breakin) with our cell phone creating a WiFi hotspot?

Correct. On my SC appointment last week, they "side-loaded" the latest firmware update... which I installed that later that evening at home when prompted by the Tesla app an update was available.
Apparently the maps will not download unless you are on wifi. So LTE is useless. But the maps are "meh", so it shouldn't really be compelling. Currently people aren't reporting much better routing and that Waze et al are still much better. Tesla should really focus on Car Play/Android Auto.
I'm in the middle of nowhere and when I get home I'm sure my wifi will enable the maps but I'm not fussed. It is unfortunate that the SC didn't load them for you or at least let you stay on their wifi long enough to get the maps. After all, Elon did say it was light-years ahead and so it seems rather important but I am just underwhelmed.
