Have we already got Beta?

[Wol747]

I found out from my ISP when asking why my monthly data allowance was almost used up that an unusually large download occurred earlier this month.
I wonder if the Beta FSD has been installed quietly, awaiting another update which would activate the “button” and allow access?

The unusually large update might have been a navigation/map data update, since those tend to be large. No reason for Tesla to push software to your car before it’s ready to be used.

Yeah, the largest thing the car downloads, by far, is map updates. They’re also usually only 4-6 gigs, which shouldn’t be a noteworthy event for any ISP data cap.

Nothing to significant for my two Tesla from a download and upload perspective for the month of April.

It was only thought - my ISP said that a couple of days' downloads were around 14 - 15 Gb which is way above my usual.
Map updates: my maps are at least 3 years outdated - I think that's Google not the car. Can I tell when the car's map was updated?

... you really should see a doctor about that condition, mate...

Hi @Wol747 ,

You cannot tell when the maps were updated, but you are able to tell current level of the maps.
It's on the software panel directly underneath the current software level of the car...

In my car 2018 Model X in USA the current level is NA-2020-48-12648
I am decoding that to mean that the maps are for North America, released the 48th week of 2020.
I think you are in Australia so yours would be different but a 2020 year would be good...

Shawn: OK - mine is AU 2020-24-12097. It's still 3 years out of date though - Google don't seem to update their mapping regardless of version numbers!

 

[EVRider-FL]

The version number is Tesla’s, not Google’s. It’s my understanding that the Google map on the touchscreen is at least partly based on real time data from Google, not just the downloaded data.

I get that; all I was really saying is that Google maps can be years out of date - not very satisfactory for a premium nav facility!

That’s after the doctor visit.

Yes, there's no telling how successful cosmetic surgery will be.
It was only supposed to be a small eyelid tuck......
