Model 3 - Firmware 2018.4.8 9b31a91

[myblubu]

I received a notice on the Tesla app that I had an update available for my Model 3. It was interesting since just 2 days ago I was at the SC and they installed the latest version of firmware 18.4.6. Anyway, installed 2018.4.8 9b31a91 last night and the release notes mentioned a few things:

Access the Owner's Manual from the touchscreen
Manage your phone keys
Tire Pressure Units

Any chance you can hook up to a ChargePoint stand using a CHAdeMO adapter and see if the car charges?

I haven't even been offered 2018.4.6 yet. I'm still on 2017.50.12 b707518 =/

Sorry, don’t have a CHAdeMO adapter. However if someone wants to ship me one, I’d be happy to test it.

Does your WiFi work? ATT LTE is sketchy in our area.

Nope! That was the first thing I checked!

Okay, thanks anyway. I'd suspect that something as important as CHAdeMO support would be listed in the release notes but I was thinking maybe some things could slip through without formal notice.

Just got 2018.4.8 too about 25 minutes ago, went to garage to start the update and completed in less than 10 minutes. Fastest update ever! Updated from 2018.4.6 that i got from SC on 2/9.

@myblubu the release notes you posted exactly the same as 2018.4.6.

I’ll check mine tomorrow, too lazy to go to the garage now..

Yes, it appears functionally identical to 2016.4.6, so probably few bug fixes under the hood.

Me too. 2017.50.12 still. No update since early Jan. Beginning to wonder if I need to call and ask for it to be pushed to me.

 

[MacGreiner]

Just got it. Quickest update I have ever processed. I keep looking for WIFI.

Tesla told me that the updates are specific to the car - which I took to me some subset of cars with similar features. Then I look around and see the cars are all the essentially the same and I wonder why the newest my car has is 2017.50.13, or what is the subtle difference between my car in the 46** vin range vs any of the ones getting these newer updates...

There's a mystery here I tell ya..

Quick glance at TeslaFi at the five Model 3 that have received this update really seems to be random selection.

 

[Msjulie]

Along with that, I guess I'll believe it also relates to whether you have auto pilot and/or advanced self driving activated...

I got the update this morning and just to verify the expected behavior I stopped off at a CHAdeMO a short time ago and plugged in. The following messages appeared as expected.

 

[RayK]

@Zarwin: Thanks for the info!

I just got 2018.4.8 this morning as well. (VIN 47xx)

I was on 2018.4.6 which was applied at a Service Center last week. I don't see any apparent changes either. (Same release notes.)

Hoping it's related to EAP as speculated by some others but I'm guessing it's just bug fixes.

 

[brosher]

Me too, no cell signal in my garage so I can't preheat with the app.

Update seemed minor. One bug that came with it is no matter what I’m listening to when I get out when I get back in the car it goes to FM radio.

One thing I noticed but I don’t know if it came with this update or not is that the turn signal shuts itself off after an auto lane change. Not sure if it did that before the update and I just never noticed it or not.

It has been that way. Absolutely love it.
