Model 3 Software Update 2018.42.x

[sduck]

Which configuration is that? It's not under the Navigation page...

It's in the autopilot page. And if the new maps haven't installed on your car yet, it's not there either.

This needs to be huge sign in this thread - if you got the update but don't have Nav on AP, it's because you don't have the new maps yet.

TeslaFi still only shows around 36% of Model 3’s reporting there having 2018.42.2, so it appears that most 3 owners still don’t have it yet.

Just got the update. They must be all done with 42.2, because I just went straight to 42.3.

Just got 42.3. Most notable change is my estimated range has updated from 301 to 313. Perhaps this firmware changes how range is calculated, or maybe my car is a fluke.

I received 42.2 on Monday night. I have an issue with the web browser that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. The touchscreen input areas seem to be off. For example, if I try to hit the back button it reads that as the 'X' and closes the browser. I hope it's a bug and not an issue with my touchscreen, but I haven't noticed problems anywhere else in the UI.

I think I have the same issue with the browser. I did a bug report, though I wasn't sure exactly what was wrong.

MAD MAX mode here I come.

You are right. I'm close to 2,000 miles on the odometer. My projected 100% charge has been in the 298~302 range since new. After the 42.3 update the projected range is 309. FYI, I'm using Stats.

This might be due to the increased regen.

So I've noticed, ever since I've gotten by Model 3, I've gotten 4 software updates. ALL 4 of those updates came on a Thursday night, including tonight. That's just way too coincidental. I have a hunch once your VIN does its first update after delivery, all future "normally" pushed updates occurs on that day. So... Today, I went from 2018.40.1 to 2018.42.3.

This might be due to the increased regen.

Not sure I follow the logic. I've got AWD so no change in regen for me.

Projected / Rated Range is pure battery capacity, nothing to do with regen. They updated the algorithm for calculating the Rated Range. Estimated range is where regen will have an impact.

My updates (from newest to oldest) have been:

Other than my car not liking Mondays and Sundays, I can't find a pattern.

Interestingly enough, it seems the 2018.40.1 to 2018.42.3 "package" was only 681MB instead of people reporting it to be a bit over 700MB. Also, it seems to have come across in two different "URL" chunks over va.teslamotors.com in unencrypted HTTP.

Red box is what I saw come across when it was downloading the software update. The blue box is every single time after I come home from commuting and the Model 3 connects to WiFi, it uploads a lot of data to Tesla HQ. This started as soon as 2018.40.1 was loaded onto my vehicle so I'm assuming 2018.40.1 has some type of "shadow mode" installed. The purple box, happened yesterday (day before I was upgraded to 2018.42.3). Not sure why there were two separate 25MB downloads, for no obvious reason I could find.

It's in the autopilot page. And if the new maps haven't installed on your car yet, it's not there either.

This needs to be huge sign in this thread - if you got the update but don't have Nav on AP, it's because you don't have the new maps yet.

Anyway you can "force" an update of the maps?

Just got 42.3. No additional details as to functionality or improvements.

After my update, my USB-dash cam is no longer working. Does anyone else have this issue or can offer a simple solution?
