MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.50.x - Driving Visualization improvements, new voice commands, Camping Mode

[mswlogo]

While I would have still preferred CarPlay, I am excited that Tesla finally incorporated some kind of text message integration for their cars.

That said, it got me thinking, since we need to “Sync Messages” with the car, I would assume Tesla would then have access to all messages on the phone? I hope there are some updates to their Privacy Policy explicitly stating they will not access, record, or store any/all messages used with this new update.

Roll eyes. You already agreed to all Contacts and Probably your calendar, right?

Just stop texting your favorite cult and you'll be fine

This implementation of txt messaging is already better than CarPlay's which I find awful.
I have CarPlay in my other car. This all around is so much better.

List of voice commands on 2019.40.50.1 : teslamotors

List is being kept current as new info is shared.

Thanks, now if I could only get it to Reply to text messages. I even did a reboot. Strange how it worked for a while.

Its in the release notes in the many 40.50.x threads right now. . . . .

OK for some reason I'm stuck at this for the last 2 hours at least. Have tried WiFi and cell but still stuck checking. May head back down and try a reboot. Looks like no 40.50.x before X-mass for me.

I can’t get voice commands to work at all. I have tried multiple resets.

Tesla releases massive new update with text message reading, Autopilot, and more - Electrek

This thread is for discussing all aspects of the 2019.40.50 firmware release. Carry on...

Since taking the update today I have no voice commands. No phone connected via BT. Any ideas? I press the voice button and the dialog comes up but it doesn't hear me talk.

 

[Mardak]

I’m also HW 2.5 and I don’t have this, is there a setting I need to enable?

For traffic light and stop sign warnings, there isn't a separate setting to enable, but you do need to have Autopilot + Autosteer active on city streets. There is no setting for cone visualization either, and that's restricted to vehicles with FSD computer. Looks like the new street visualizations are also restricted to FSD computer and have a separate "preview" setting to enable too.

My week old P3D has been stuck at downloading software update (100%) for the past hour lmao. I even rebooted and it's stuck at 100%.

The best way to get the update as fast as possible: Controls/Software updates. This will cause the car to search for updates. You can see the text that indicates this. When found, it will automatically start the download. You can monitor progress with the app. When done downloading, you can then start the update.

I wish there were a way to get it as slow as possible. Maybe put my car is a lead lined garage with no wifi

Same here. One time, about a minute after saying “drive home” it worked.

Same here. I tried "open rear camera" when I first got in and that worked but after that I would say something and all it would do is show suggestions. I could tell that it was hearing what I was saying because the volume icon was "throbbing" whenever I spoke but it just couldn't seem to process what I said. I rebooted the screen but that didn't help. As someone said, occasionally it would print out what I said but mostly it just made suggestions.

I bet the unresponsive voice commands clear up in a day or two when Tesla's servers catch up with this massive rollout. At least, I hope so.

Santa? Did you forget Sacramento? Was I bad this year? All I want for Christmas is 2019.40.50.1...

I know right!?

Right. It is listening. I'm guessing servers give priority to other commands in its "stack" after the first one. I've noticed when I make the second voice command, there is no response right away, but it appears a minute or two later. Very odd.

this will be great waiting in the ferry line up

Similar here - took 1h20 to transition from 100% downloaded to ready to install. Wtf was it doing....

 

[AhwatukeeDad]

Everything working for me except voice dictation back to a text reply. For others, make to enable the new visualizations in the autopilot section and tap the bluetooth icon upper right to sync messages on your phone.

Wild to see stoplights change colors in real time and it even displayed trash cans on the side of the road! Will test later if the lane "ping ponging" is improved (reported by many, but I only noticed a little).

same here... I am not alone.

Important FYI:
I haven't read through the whole thread but in order for voice control functionality to work you must hold down the right button for the entire time you speak the command,which is a change to the prior voice control functionality.

Anyone else on Android & text via the default Google Messages app? I can send via voice in my car (it sends as an SMS message), but when I get the reply (as a RCS message), the tesla OS reads back HTML code instead of the actual text of the message...
