MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

[sduck]

So the LW RWD HW 2.5 will not get this latest software?

Why wouldn't it? Quite a few of them have.

It will get the software but depending on if made before or after April 2019 certain features will be forked that only HW3 can handle since that's when they started including them in the cars.

Tesla update forks features for Model 3s built pre/post April 2019 - Electrek

And it appears that 36.2.1 is dead....

On to the next...

Looks like it's back......11 and counting in TeslaFi firmware tracker

Tried to rely on scheduled departure this morning to go to work and it didn’t start charging the car last night to prepare for the departure and in fact it seemed to kick into gear and start only once I woke up the car via the app to check it as soon as I woke up. Bugs assume. Curious if others having luck with the feature.

Anyone get it in Michigan yet?

@skrtskrt Yes, several of us have. We’ve discussed it in the local Michigan Facebook groups.

For small numbers under ~30 per day or so, I think it's safest to assume that those are people who had been flagged for the update during the first wave of 36.2 a few days ago, and took a few days to find wifi and update.

I have a 3 AWD long range and I'm stuck on 32.12.2. I noticed on Tesla Fi that the only vehicle the got 32.12.2 recently was a "3 long range." I've been checking periodically and my 3 keeps telling me my software is up to date. I've never had an issue with being "stuck" with an old firmware for long until now.

you have what the majority of cars have in the fleet.

Dudes take a chill pill. The update isn’t dead. They clearly send it out in batches of a few thousand. There are several hundred thousands of Tesla’s to churn through. It’s a fairly significant update. Most of us are on 12.x. still. However here’s to everything going well and getting the update!

So if the article is correct it sounds like HW 2.5 owners will not see cone visualizations while driving.

I predicted many months ago that HW3 will offer features that do not specifically require FSD and virtually everyone on the forum disagreed with me. While cone visualizations is not really that big of a deal, it is an early indication of where Tesla is going and how 2.5 owners may be left out of new features, even if they don’t have FSD.

Intellectually, I know you are right and we will get the update soon enough, as we always have. Emotionally, however, it's like being the last kid picked when choosing sides. I don't want to be the last person to get it!.

They just won't get the 'cones' update and driving visualization.

I had it set to leave at 8:30 and it finished charging @ 5:30. Had a previous "Start Charging" setting (not available now, to start charge at 4:30)
I think it did condition the cab at the correct time though. Have not tried again, but first time use might have been the problem. Will try again tomorrow.

I've been playing with the new One Petal Driving in 2019.36.2.1.

So far, it's pretty cool. I like it for every situation except pulling into my garage... I prefer creep mode so I can have my foot on the break at all times since I need to pull up to 12 inches from the wall. With creep I have inch by inch precision pulling in; with one petal, pulling in to the garage with the same exacting precision is much more difficult.

What are your thoughts about it?

Severely disappointing.
I was really hoping that it didn't actually work the way the release notes imply. I have no need to finish charging before 6am. What a waste to implement such a great feature in such a useless way.

 

[Shemp]

<----- still waiting to find out.

 

[kwest2]

Not widely released yet.

 

[Victoria3]

It seems silly to have the 6am finnish charging deadline. If you want to avoid peak rates schedule charging, if you want to schedule departure I should be able to set that to whenever I want... I work shift work and we don't have peak/off peak electric rates here in BC.

I think it's just like when regen was brand new to us - it'll take some getting used to. So far I reaaaaally enjoy it, although in reverse it's very strange.
