I just did another update today, which was 6.1(2.2.1xx). A couple of hours later, I went back to my MS and saw successful, so I sat in the car, looking through the update notes. After the 1st 6.1 update, the 2 subsequent ones look like somebody just sent out the same canned release notes about 6.1 in general. I haven't seen what the subsequent 2 updates have modified. How do I know what they fix, or incorporate, when it looks like the same boilerplate canned message. Yeah, all of the 6.1 updates talk about the same TACC, scheduler, pre-conditioning, etc changes, but nary anything else.
The Over The Air Firmware Updates are a really nice feature. I like it. Maybe I looked and it was right in front of me on the update notes (My wife sometimes says... I told you, it's right there in front of you.... If it was a snake, it would have bit you!), but I looked and spent some time scrolling through them, and it didn't appear to me. When I read the same intro, my eyes started to glaze over, again, and I'm a technology type of guy.
I really think ANY update should tell me at a glance as to what was 'fixed' or improved. I would even take a simple description about it such as 'MegaJoule Flux Capacitor Discharge Rate increased' :wink:
But, what I'd prefer is a thread or sticky, or Section that indicates the following
(The following is completely FICTIONAL)
Version Release Date VIN/Model Affected Description
6.1 (1.1.2) Jan 1, 2014 All Changed the Avatar Tesla logo to 2% larger
6.1 (1.7.44) Jan 18, 2015 51000 Up with Plano Roof Changed Sunroof Screen Color
6.1 (2.1.1) Jan 31, 2015 60000 Up Changed Acceleration timing to beat Hellcats
6.1 (2.2.100) Feb 1, 2015 51500 Up with Autopilot Changed TACC proximity interval 7 (Little Old Lady Distance) to 1 (I Can Reach Out and Touch Your Charging Port Door Distance)
I did a search, and didn't find anything. Sure, it would be a bit more work for Tesla, but it's not like only 1 person is involved in firmware development, testing and releasing the firmware updates.
I would even appreciate something less informative and more general, such as Media Player Update, or Temp Monitoring Update.
What's your thoughts, and has Tesla ever addressed this in any way?
