How did your V8.0 update go?

[dogphlap]

IIRC Elon said that 8.1 will add the ability to set a max and min temperature that the car will keep between when parked up.

I recalled correctly: Elon Musk on Twitter

Thank you srwx and bradjc. Now waiting for 8.1.

Updated overnight and now have the charging port door alert, that has remained active through a couple of screen and dashboard reboots.

Agree that the autopilot is generally gentler and better (on a short commute however).

For me the worst regression is that I miss being able to change Audio input from the right steering scroll wheel a LOT as the audio player frequently forgets to default back to Bluetooth input. Now I have to reach up to the big screen, tap audio player, tap input, tap bluetooth.

What do you think of the sound quality? I had a bit of a listen last night and today- pretty certain its a lot better off USB, especially with Dolby engaged, which a while back was terrible.

I got the Software Update available at 1:00 AM this morning and started the update process as I walked past the car on the way to work.
Now that its complete Visible Tesla tells me I have v2.40.21, looking forward to trying it out tonight.

My update has arrived, how long to download?

I am traveling between Canberra and Snowy mountains today 1000ks from home so don't want to get stuck.

My notification told me it would take 1hr 40min, but actually took just over an hour.

Change charge port door error is known and will be disabled in all cars" soon". Pity, I was hoping for a powered charge port door as an upgrade. I found autopilot to be very rough and, in fact much like when it was introduced and will need complete retraining. Disappointing given the reviews I have read so far. Disappearing menu bar is irritating. Otherwise the look is OK I guess. They still did not restore outside air temp to menu bar of the main screen . WTF.

 

[raynewman]

Disappearing menu bar is irritating.

You can disable that by putting the nav on the bottom half of the screen.

I have the normal sound system, don't really notice much difference.

I got v8.0 yesterday (10/10/2016). So far no obvious problems but I've yet to drive the updated car. I cannot see a way to adjust the default cabin temperture of 40C in dog mode from the touch screen. Is it possible and if so how ?
I'd prefer 37C or lower.

No it's locked at 40. Basically to save life rather than comfort.
Version 8.1 will be bringing "camper" mode where you can choose a max and min temp.

Well I must say I am a bit pissed.....I have been waiting patiently and I can see plenty of people with the same Model S as myself getting the updates (as I have done) however my update failed with the car saying it would try again another time...24 hours later and it still hasn't "tried" again...grrr

I might add my car was plugged in, connect to my home WiFi with an excellent signal strength on a fibre connection and plugged in, all previous updates have gone through without issue.

I feel your pain @EcoCloudIT. I haven't experienced that issue myself, but I've wondered why Tesla doesn't have a "Check for Updates" option like a smartphone. Then at least you'd have some manual control - or the satisfaction of feeling as though you have some manual control - over the process.

 

[Shock-On-T]

I decided I was in no rush to get the update ... then when the notification came about midnight last night I was out of bed and in the car in my undies tapping feverishly at the screen to get it started
Hope yours comes soon.

They want a phased roll out. Like the charge port error, they don't want a bug that disables all ANZ cars because everyone updated on the same night, the brand damage would be massive. Instead opt for a phased rollout and deal with a few grumpy customers (rather than ones that cannot use their car at all...)

Agreed, I liked to be able to quickly swap between inputs from the steering wheel. Maybe when I get used to it it can be done with voice command?

 

[NikolaRocks]

Got my 8.0 today with no probs. Voice search and media play are great.

 

[TesAus]

Using voice to call someone is definitely much improved as is being able to search phone book with right scroll wheel

Just turn the air on from your phone app at whatever temp you want

My USB stick takes about 12 minutes to "load" from start-up.
Is it just me? That seems nuts!

 

[cynix]

Mine has about 1000 songs and takes about a minute to load.

One annoying thing I found is that the "shuffle" and "repeat" state doesn't seem to be saved across reboots, at least for USB music. I have to turn them back on after every reboot.
