Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x

[billh13850]

Can anybody confirm if the flickering headlights issues is resolved?

I haven't seen it since the upgrade, fwiw.

Looks like 5.14 is only on European cars so far?

I was hoping to get 5.4 before I have to go park at an airport for a weekend, but I guess that isn't gonna happen.

Oh God. I hope that's never a feature. Imagine everyone obsessively tapping on "CHECK FOR UPDATE" for hours on end when word of a new update gets out. Egads.

What's the big deal? Companies like Apple are able to release iOS updates (sometimes they're 1GB+) over the air. Tesla just needs to have a few servers hosting the file around the country/world.

And Apple has an extensive, mature (and expensive) infrastructure to handle the load. I do not believe Tesla has anything near that yet.

the issue now is the bandwidth for OTA. If it's an Apple device, either your carrier is providing free data for iOS updates, or you're on wifi pulling it.

AFAIK, Tesla hasn't struck any "free data for updates" deals with AT+T.

Captured a video of Autopilot unnecessarily braking morning, luckily I wasnt going that fast, but you can see that it did slow down (and car infront of me driving away) because the car on the right was just too close to the left of the lane and not even trying to change lanes

Doesn’t look problematic to me there but I’m sure it felt different thank it looks.

yeah, its not that noticeable in that video because I wasnt going as fast - in person its still jarring to have it brake when its not needed

Next time it happens when Im going at a higher speed differential, Ill capture it

 

[Joshan]

happens to me all the time on 2018.50.6 don't think its a new thing.

I actually find it more annoying at lower speeds... In stop and go traffic on a certain stretch of highway it happens to me every morning. If you watch the display you will see different cars get highlighted which is the AP tracking different cars. The problem is when it goes and tracks a car in an adjacent lane.

Your video shows the suspect car hugging the side of the lane, but in my morning commute that isn't the case every time it switches track to another vehicle.

I believe this is why you're more likely to get an update earlier if your car is on wifi.

or at all.....


there will be a time, very soon if they haven't done it already, where the ONLY OTA updates you'll get via cellular will be critical safety updates.

anything else will be wifi or nothing.

Yep. I don't think I've actually gotten any updates ever on cellular.

Used to get them all the time... back in the early days when the Model 3 couldn't connect to WiFi yet.

I think since this update, my rear camera would change to a black screen when I switch from Drive to Reverse. I have to press the shift stick up one more time to get the camera. I wonder if this has sometime to do with having 3 cameras for dashcam.

I too have noticed frequent black screen delays of anywhere from 1-4 seconds with the rear view camera on 2019.5.4. I’ve been submitting bug reports every time it’s happened.

I had two this this last week off wifi.

This looks like what a cautious driver should do. If I see someone behaving oddly I give them a little space until I'm sure of their intentions. Don't expect automated driving systems to drive as recklessly as humans.

The car was just very close to the left side of the lane without any intention of coming over - any normal driver would likely not put on their brakes for this. The gif does not really show the braking well, but look at the car in front of me who gets further away quickly. This is just one instance of maybe 4 or 5 during a 10 mile drive

Good thing about Tesla is that these issues get resolved with software updates.

Did you accelerate to override the AP?
