Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

[MP3Mike]

got updated to 2.50.201. same release notes as 2.50.185. For me cameras were calibrated on the .185
by driving ~16 miles .. so not sure what new features this updates brings..

The release notes aren't 100% the same are they? I don't recall the previous notes mentioning the calibration time. Can you post all of the screens from .201?

Aaaand cameras calibrated once I got back in the car. Looks like it doesn't give instant calibration but does dramatically shorten the time needed in cases like mine.

Side note: TACC was awesome.

Ok, you've convinced me. Going out for a drive now.

I'm also headed out for a drive.

Status update!
Drove my car for exactly 18 minutes. Went to home depot and shopped for 15 minutes. Came back out and behold the features have been enabled!

Cruise control now works. It seems a new feature was added. Once activated, it automatically goes to the current speed limit marked on the road. I thought this was a wonderful feature! Not sure if this is standard on AP1 cars. The car did automatically slow down if a car in front of me was going slower and kept proper distance.

Auto steer did not work. It kept saying "autosteer disabled on this road". I tried multiple types of roads, but it didnt work. Im assuming it will activate later on when the car is done adjusting or whatever it does.

I did not see any car indicators on the dashboard even though there were cars available around me. At one brief moment it did flash a car but that was the only time. Again, I am assuming its still slowly enabling this feature.

So far I am happy with what has been added. The coolness factor is starting to kick in.

Keep it coming Tesla!

As far as I understand(and saw myself), it only shows cars in front of you, not those to the side.

I believe the AP2 hardware shows the sides and front (from the videos I have seen).
The one car I saw was on the front left side of me

Why post that crappy spam here?

Any article by short seller Paulo Santos needs to be marked as crap before posting on TMC.

Article did have some good points

If you go to the 2:30 mark youll see cars on the side also

 

[seevT]

interesting. I haven't seen similar on 2.50.185. Seems to be a AP1 car given the date of this video "

That's an AP1 car on FW 8.0. AP1 does currently show cars to the side. AP2 should eventually, it just doesn't now, as I understand.

Also just got the 185 to 201 update with the same exact release notes. Was one of the the select 1000 (camera calibrated fine a few dozen miles after 185, TACC and Autosteer works on hwy). Not sure of any difference either.

I think they fixed the problem where most of us didnt calibrate. I put 400 miles on my car and they never calibrated. This time it only took a 15 minute drive

 

[wesley888]

They probably looked at the data from the first time calibrate that took hundreds of miles, and figured that 15 minutes driving was enough.

@seevT, @MarcusMaximus, @totochi, @BigTonyTones, @Kcain, @PlayaVista, could you update the firmware tracker about your .201 update? The site only showing 3 people having it. Thanks.

Snapping to the speed limit is an AP1 feature as well, but it's actually more flexible than that in our version, and probably in yours as well.

In the driver assistance settings on the center console, there's a setting for speed warning. If you set that to a relative number from the limit, TACC will actually snap to that speed instead.

It's really very convenient.

After a 7 mile drive, car is now "calibrated" and tacc is now working for me...

I was a Cali1000. Upgraded from 185 to 201. I calibrated rather quickly the first time. Drove this morning in LA traffic tried the auto-steer a bit. I didn't see a difference from earlier. It does look like the fixed the equalizer issue.
I also just updated the tracker.

I don't have an account set up there. I'll add myself once I can get a token using my script.
