First Model X with 8.0

@SSD420 Yes FWD are faster to open and close by about 1.5 sec in the absence of obstacle.

Free trial for autopilot seem to have disappeared. I was waiting for the upgrade to try it. Thanks Elon.

Mine gone too. It was dormant previously, the start trial button disabled. Thought it was waiting til 8 to let me select it. But now it's gone altogether. Oh well. I guess that makes the decision easy, no 3K for Tesla.

i like v8.0 so far so good... everything works well.

Got mine yesterday. Very smooth AP. Highways are packed all the time here in SoCal, and AP really helps you understand the non rationality (bordering on irrationality) of people weaving, constantly passing on the right, left, speeding up and slowing down. AP 7.1 was reactive, AP 8 appears much smoother. I really like seeing one car ahead too.

I think the braking/regen changed, where regen kicks in once you tap the brakes. I had the version prior to 7.1 and regen was very strong as soon as you lifted from accelerator, then 7.1 regen was less strong, and now in version 8, i think it kicks in after tapping the brakes. It is more natural to drive, as i just got the MX a few weeks ago, I didnt have complete time to adapt to one foot driving.

Got the update last night, drove for a little bit today, everything seems great.

A bit of an unrelated question: does everyone else's rear view camera show the bumper, etc in the corners? Mine looks like a pretty strong fish eye effect with all 4 corners showing parts of the bumper and trunk lid. This was before 8.0 also. Anyone else?

Got it last night. Love the UI. Media player needs a bit of work,hopefully with spotify soon. The autopilot sensors and display is better and the FWD speed is nice.

All in all it's amazing to go to bed with one car UI and wake up to a new one.

What type of spoiler repair are you having done, if you don't mind me asking? I scheduled an appointment to have my spoiler alignment issues looked at. Mine sticks up on one side, dips down on the other, and comes close to rubbing on the back edge when being stowed (gap disproportionate from one side to the other along the trunk lip). Wondering how big a job it may be to have it adjusted.

Aija, sorry I forgot to follow-up on the spoiler issue. Here's what the invoice said when I picked up my X - "verified spoiler stuck in the closed position. Forced open using toolbox. Removed tailgate paneling. Found slight corrison on hinges. Cleaned off hinges and lubricated with special grease. Actuated spoiler numerous times. Spoiler functions properly. Cleaned out drains."

So it may have been inadequate lubrication at the factory(?). They also inspected the front halfshafts for correct part numbers. This may be an effort to check out the noise some are reporting under the frunk.

I have just read that the settings for the car to share data to improve autopilot by fleet learning is NOT activated by default in 8.0 and have to be activated if you want to help tesla improve autopilot.

Go to controlls>settings>Safety and security> and then activate "Data sharing"

I don't see this option in my X with 8.0

Version 8 arrived last night on our P90DL in MD last night.

So far nor drama or anything that anyone else hasn't already reported...

Why don't you call or email Tesla and ask them for a trial?

That's probebly only in Europe according to what have been discussed here and in other threads.

That sounds like a used car!

 

[Woohoo]

I am still waiting for my update as well.

Same for me. It's really only in the corners.

To not update you just click the X at top left?

Will this prompt come up every time car is turned on?

If I have a scheduled service for very minor things on Nov1 will they update my car even if I tell them not to? Or leave a sticky note?

Good god I hope not. This does reflect my limited usage though. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't slowing when I lifted. If this is true it should be an option. I love the 1 footed driving!

I also had some strange stereo behavior when it switched and started playing where I left it from my USB AFTER I had changed to a radio station.

Just checked, I don't see that option either. On v2.40.21
