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

[HelloJohnny]

Not sure if this has been posted yet but Carpool lane markings driving visualization (HW3)

Carpool lane markings 2019.40.50.1 : TeslaModel3

Just got this last night. Gonna take a while to explore these. Is it necessary to touch the mic before speaking? Is there a key word that’s needed?

Just push the right scroll wheel to activate the mic.

Is there any news on whether HW2.5 will get any of the visualizations at any point, or will we have to wait until Tesla decides to upgrade us to HW3.0 which I actually think will probably not happen until 2035?

I am guessing for HW2.0 the answer is the latter but maybe for 2.5 we can actually get the updates without an upgrade at some point?

(I posted this in another thread too, apologies)

Elon has already stated" we didnt have time to finish the update for 2.x cars" Everyone thinks HW3 does something special to show the images but it doesnt. All these marking, signs have been displaying in the background on 2.x cars for months now. It will come to 2.x cars soon, unless for some reason Tesla decided to make it only a HW3 feature to try and get the take rate of FSD higher. The amount of ppl who dont realize its just visually different right now is amazing, no car is doing anything different at the moment and hardware 2.x cars are doing the same thing, just not displaying it...yet

I installed the update last night. I got the new games, Twitch, and new voice commands seem to work but the visualizations look the same. No lights, no stop signs, no left turn lanes, just traffic cones.

Also haven't taken time to figure out texting yet but my phone told me Tesla wanted access to the messages.

Did you enable the new visualizations under the autopilot menu?

Works the same as it always has... click right scroll wheel

Nope. Didn't know I needed to. I thought I glanced through the menus for anything new but must have missed that. I'll try that when I get back to my car

 

[hugh_jassol]

I'm really confused about my HW3 status. I thought I did not have HW 3 based on the VLC dashcam video codec trick. However I ended up having the cone visualization wit the recent update. Now with this update, i did not get the updated driving visualizations... Anyone else ion the same boat?

Did you turn on the visualizations in the autopilot settings?

 

[Wick]

Three things to do: use the Bluetooth menu in the car to activate sync. Use the Bluetooth setting on your phone to enable notifications, and in the Autopilot menu in your car activate the visualizations.

Would not surprise me if this all comes to HW2.x cars. It’s good advertising for FSD.

Got this update yesterday afternoon and did minor driving day and night. P3D- and HW3, I don’t have FSD, no stop lights or signs showing up. Just cones since previous updates. Voice commands work though.

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...

OMG - I just downloaded is last night! Thank you Elon for the Chanukah present. Can't wait to try out voice control/command features as well as replying to text messages.

Wonder if they have included TAD? Temperature Aware Distance! For us in the colder areas that would be wonderful to have a more accurate distance. Of course, they would get slammed for a drop in mileage but at least it would be closer to the truth. In our area 100% would probably be ~350 Km (~220 miles) or less.

The Bolt takes into account temps with its guess-o-meter.

The Model 3 does the same when you use the energy app. Set it to 30 minute interval and you will get the best range estimator of any EV.

It does take a bit of time to learn all the info the energy graph provides. Once I understood it, it's one of the coolest things about the car, especially if you are interested in how your driving and environment affects range.

I have same trim with HW3. All the new visualizations are there. You have to first activate them in the autopilot settings.

With this update, there aren’t “commands” per se - it does natural language parsing, so just try stuff.

“Open autopilot settings” “turn the heat on” etc... say what you think something should be an try it!

thx will try. Maybe a better question would be to see what cool voice "stuff" can the new update do. eg. I love the glove box. Didn't see any you tube video other than one about song studio

While the new visualizations are neat, I've found that AP is driving around on surface streets quite drunkenly now (insert required "yes I know AP isn't designed for city driving" here). On 40.2.1, I was usually pretty impressed but now my car is swerving around all over the place whenever the lane lines move for any reason. 40.2.1 was really good at hugging the center line when the right lane markings were absent. That behavior seems different now. Anyone else seeing anything like this?

I use 30 mile interval.
Well, it does estimate "SORT OF" but no where near accurate when at cold temperatures. No, 20 f is not cold, 0 f isn't either. -10 f is starting to get cold and -30 f is pretty cold and anything below -40 IS COLD.
The energy app said I would arrive with 21% left after my fourth charge of the day on a long trip at -20 f. I arrived with 1% left, about 2 miles! That is ONLY because I ended up driving at 45 MPH on the interstate and 55 prior. That is not accurate or even sort of accurate. The "Guess - O - Meter in the volt was better, BUT the range in summer was only 65 miles so pretty easy to figure out it was only 41 miles in winter and then the ICE would kick in both before and after.

 

[MP3Mike]

That would be very cool if they did that. Definitely would be useful and let me do less mental calculations on what the “true” distance is.

If you use the energy app it is supposed to take weather and terrain into account when predicting remaining range.

Anyone have problems with the voice commands after the update? mines is not working at all since the update
