Model 3 Software Update 2018.50.x

[Emmexx1]

Just got the update. Anyone not on wifi get it? I'm on wifi here.

Got updated just now. It did lose my WiFi credentials. Other then this nothing changed perhaps fixes to cold weather.

I can't guarantee it , but I have been testing the Web browser on the Model 3 ever since I got my car 11/10/2018 and this last update has made a very significant difference. Here is some proof :

I've noticed it is also much better.

Wow, anything that can render the weather channel's bloated site is impressive

What I want is the car to ignore me opening a door to get gym shoes out of the back seat so that it doesn’t fire up the radio and HVAC and EVSE for two minutes for no reason.

I'll second that. Also, if I open the back door to grab something, it doesn't need to steal the bluetooth from my headset and start playing it in the car.

Regen issue corrected with RWD snow tires. Much more linear and less grabby at various speeds.

Last 2000 miles my brake pads were wondering why all the work.

So, interesting data point for those of you on TeslaFi. When I received 48.12.1 a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the day before the update, my car refused to go to sleep for about 5.5 hours. Nothing I did would make the car sleep, even setting TeslaFi sleep attempts to start after 1 minute of idling. I assumed it was a bug with 46.2 that I was on at the time. Fast forward to yesterday, the car did it again. It idled and refused to sleep for about 5.5 hours. What happens today? Yup, you guessed it, 2018.50 arrives.

So now I think I might at least have about a 24 hour warning when I'm about to get an update, but I haven't had TeslaFi long enough to prove this out. I'm left wondering what the car could possibly be doing the day before that forces it to stay awake. Has anyone else noticed this? Note that when this has happened, the car is sitting idle on LTE, not WiFi. I then can see on my router that the update downloads the next day, minutes before I get the update notification.

actually netflix/ youtube would be great! When your at a Supercharger!

Make it so video can only play when the vehicle is in PARK.

I prefer not having to pay a connectivity charge. Streaming services are data heavy.

I also noticed when charging at home instead of saying 30 miles per hour it's now 8kw.

Hmm I didn’t get the update but my car needed me to re-enter my WiFi info this morning.

Just got this update and can’t charge. Got home from dinner and plugged in and the T logo remains white, I get a “Charging complete” message on the car screen. I’ve done the two scroll wheel and brake hold reset, powered the car off, took the car for a quick ride around the block, tried my other cable that came with the car (I use a CMC at home on 50amp breaker) and no luck. I walked around my car to my wife’s Model S, button press to open the charge port, plug in, latch instantly and charging starts. Then I realize I didn’t have her fob on me so had to go inside and get it, lol...to get the cable to release from her car. Read on M3OC about a delay so have the cable plugged in my car now seeing if it’ll eventually start but so far no luck. Posting here as FYI mainly...I’m not too concerned (yet), but in case anyone else experiences this, please reply and let me know your fix (other than calling support or roadside which I’ll do if I still can’t charge tomorrow).
Thank you all for your time.

Why would you have to pay?

Since it's no longer free for life...

2018.50 seems to have fixed the winter-tire limited-regen issue on RWD cars. My car with X-Ice XI3 tires is back to normal regen again.

This wasn't a significant issue for AWD cars or cars using the "performance" winter tires that Tesla sells. But, it was a major pain for those of us with RWD and real winter tires.

This is great news! I'm glad I waded through the several page wishlist to get to the reason I clicked on this thread .

I also have the X-Ice XI3 but it was too cold this morning for much regen. Looking forward to testing it in warmer conditions.

Maybe for you

I ordered mine in June so I just made it before the July 1st deadline.

Ya know what would help? I just got back from vacation and has SOC set to 50%
I’m an idiot...sorry for the panic all.

Do you show your energy display showing range or percentage? I keep mine on percentage so always shows kW when charging. Does it no longer show miles per hour charging if you have set to range?

Glad to hear no problem!

For Tesla to offer streaming service that cost would be passed onto us. Data is not free. I prefer not having streaming service and not having a monthly fee.
