Hawaii - Firmware 7.0

[nanimac]

Does your successful experiment mean you are going to move to Kailua so you can have and excuse to drive H3 and use autopilot every day?

Great idea!

 

[dsmith2189]

Great idea!

but don't you work down town? Kailua to Honolulu would take you over the Pali Hwy not H3. you would need a new job too.

what would be the fun in driving the Pali if she could drive the H3 with AP?

Or I could stay in Mililani and just get a job in Kailua :smile:

My sentiments exactly. I'm going to get FOBO.

I have a FOBO available. Make an offer.

User interface looks clean. I noticed after the update I didn't get any song information or album cover when listening to KSSK radio. Always had it before 7.0. Anyone experience the same?

My other radio stations show the album covers in the HD mode. Regular mode has nothing now.

I've noticed that action to put the car into Drive or Reverse is cleaner - more direct now than before. Before 7.0 I would need sometimes to pull the lever twice or three times to insure it dropped into gear. Of course that could have been that my foot may not always have been pressing the brake before hand (foot). And I am sure you all know what a curse it is to have to pull the lever twice. (He said with sarcasm dripping from his lower lip.)

pull it more than once and your playin' with it.:scared:
the thing that I have noticed (even without AP) that it again displays the brake lights, etc. on the picture of the MS in the main console like it did in V4(? or was it V3) you all remember back then:biggrin:

Yes, its nice once again to see the brake lights come on during re-gen. Its sensitive but not too much. I think the brake lights come on during a re-gen of about 22 xx.

Which picture of the MS are you talking about? Not on the dashboard. I only see the highlights come on on the dashboard.

I finally had a chance to run auto park! AWESOME!!... I pulled out went around the block to do it again... (I know, pretty sad.... i had time and it wasn't a busy street) but it parked better then i would have

The one on the dash. Gotta pay close attention and its hard too when driving. But yep, they do turn on.

Awesome! I suck at parallel parking...can't wait to try it! I'll probably try it a few times too...just like auto lane change over the weekend..lol

directionals would even display if I could figure out how they work:tongue:
and when you put it in reverse you can see the backup lights too.
when it was a larger image you could see it much clearer, but glad it is back.

Just in case anyone is interested (I know you're not, DSmith) song info and cover art magically started working on its own.

Magic? Must be. Tesla=Magic=Tesla.

I was very interested, until you said that

I'm in love with my car:love: with cover art

I got version 2.7.77 yesterday when my car was at the SC. Time and temperature are now back on the dashboard vs UI.

 

[dsmith2189]

I kind of got ticked off today. someone reported a V7.0 Easter egg. I should have been the one to find it. after all my car's name was "four two":love:
I joke around and ask the SC staff (and anyone else) what my easily remembered VIN is. if you know me you can probably answer that, and my car name makes sense, and when I named it, it was also noted that it is the universal answer to the "ultimate question."

it seems that someone at Tesla is a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy fan. if you enter "42" for the name of your car you get "Life, the Universe, and Everything".
If I had consulted "deep thought" I would have been asked "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?" then I would have known to enter "42" instead of "four two"
(Of course, this answer is deliberately wrong: six times nine is, in fact, fifty-four. The program on the "Earth computer" should have run correctly, but the unexpected arrival of the Golgafrinchans on prehistoric Earth caused input errors in the system)

Some readers (of "Fit the Seventh" BBC radio series) who were trying to find a deeper meaning in the passage soon noticed that in base 13, 613 × 913 is actually 4213 (as 4 × 13 + 2 = 54, i.e. 54 in decimal is equal to 42 expressed in base 13). When confronted with this, the author claimed that it was a mere coincidence, famously stating that "I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13."

I do binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal. Sure I've bandied about with the vigesimal (base-twenty) positional numeral system used by the Pre-Columbian Maya civilization, for kicks.(who hasn't) but those cellar clubs in dark alleys attract an ancient evil element and it got to be too much.

The number 42

Douglas Adams was asked many times why he chose the number 42. Many theories were proposed, including that 42 is 101010 in binary code, that light refracts through a water surface by 42 degrees to create a rainbow, that light requires 10−42 seconds to cross the diameter of a proton. Adams rejected them all. On 3 November 1993, he gave this answer on alt.fan.douglas-adams:

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'. I typed it out. End of story.
