How did your V8.0 update go?

[Dborn]

Interesting rollout. My signature car, nada! So, definitely not in build or vin number order.also, I have good wifi in my garage and supercharged yesterday evening at St Leonards.where I pick up wifi from Tesla. So clearly those factors don't play a part. Car is East/ West in my garage, so pointing at the mothership, also no dice!!

Gotta make sure the valve stems on all 4 wheels also point at the mothership, I heard…

Interesting rollout.

Don't get too anxious about the update, it appears the charge port door error is a feature of this version. I now get it more often than not.
While the autopilot is greatly improved I would choose v7 over this constant warning message.

@Homer your source may yet be right, depending on how 'wide-spread' the current burst of updates ends up being!

 

[LGGD]

More importantly though, I gather that this is a "false alarm" and that the port, the door and charging process are proceeding as normal?

Correct. It only shows when the door is open.

What's the port error thingy all about?

 

[Homer]

<SPECULATION>I read elsewhere on this forum that it might have something to do with the newer cars having an automatic charge port closure motor and the older AU cars not having this feature, and yet some have been configured for it.</SPECULATION>

 

[Brian May]

Correct. It only shows when the door is open.

Could be that it is trying to shut the charger door. A feature, I have have been told, that is only in very recent Tesla (was told mine was a first).

If so, they need to disable this for older cars.

Hey DBorn don't worry I tick all the boxes you ticked and haven't got it yet either. One of the valve stems must be slightly off alignment....

I also note on the EV firmware tracker that the rollout of this version seems to be worldwide but has slowed after an initial surge so maybe there are bugs that they will fix before further roll out?

My car was connected to WiFi all weekend and nada. Now it's back in it's basement space in the city with sketchy 3G so I'm not holding my breath.

Nothing to do with valve stems - stick your thumb in the coffee cup holder while your in the car; tune spotify into Stephenwolfs "Born to be Wild"; set to Ludicrous mode and explode into ...

Sorry - late to take my meds this morning ...

Something weird happened to me with V8.
I got the update last Saturday and got the charge port replacement error as well. Car still ran well so I didn't bother with it, figured it was a software error. Then I got another update that evening for minor fixes. Lo and behold the charge door error disappeared! Hooray. But then, yesterday morning, I get into the car and got surprised. The software was back to V7! Definitely had a sad face.
Then I get another message about an update so I updated again, I got V8 again but the charge port error came back. And its still there. I'll try rebooting the screens tonight and see what happens.

What a roller coaster!

Wow, that's the weirdest software story I've ever heard for Teslas. How bizarre! Hopefully it means v8.0 with all the bugs fixed is just around the corner but how totally weird to get demoted to 7.1 !?!?!

 

[WhiteStar]

Surely they’ll have to pull this one.

I also note on the EV firmware tracker that the rollout of this version seems to be worldwide but has slowed after an initial surge so maybe there are bugs that they will fix before further roll out?

Evidently not...I received the notification. First time I haven't updated immediately & not going to until someone here says it's worthwhile.

It's not a problem @WhiteStar . I downloaded it, drove around freeway and non-freeway, and charged at home and no errors or difficulties.

I have the charge port door warning message also even after rebooting while pushing the brake pedal. Also a red exclamation mark on the centre screen. Ver 2.40.21. I wonder whether this means an upgrade to the auto closing charge port door.

 

[paulp]

I have the charge port error on the 85, but not on the 85D. (Both now on 8.0) Quite ironic really, as the 85D has chargeport issues.
