Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x

[ranova]

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

Did you accelerate to override the AP?

yup, I quickly accelerated after each time it braked and submitted a bug report. 50.6 was much better and actually applied brake correctly when a car quickly merged into my lane

Cool, they will fix it. The car's neural network may actually self learn and fix itself.

I'm still waiting for the update. Has the release been continued yet?

Not yet no.

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

AWS, Azure, Akamai, and others have very cheap content caching services. No one needs to build such infrastructure.

Wow, rollout completely shut down again.
Must be a lot of debugging going on!

I really just want Sentry mode. Getting real tired of keeping my back seats down.

Wondering if they stopped this rollout and will instead wide release the one that includes the 5% power increase since that is supposed to come ~ March 15th.

I agree, I'm a bit more hestitant to use AP when Im in the HOV lane and slower cars are adjacent of me. Also, definitely can't use AP with my fiance in the car anymore until this is addressed. She already hates the stop and go abruptness of AP, although its gotten a lot better the past few updates.

Don't forget to bug report when a phantom brake or unnecessary brake happens!

Girlfriends and AP don't not mix well....

An update on the rear camera black screen... if I turn off my dashcam, no more rear camera black screen. I think the black screen has something to do with the new dashcam with 3 cameras.

They must have found some fairly serious issues to completely freeze new firmware deployment.

My 2019.5.4 update was available on 2/24. Didn't realize this go round I'd be among the seemingly small subset of owners getting it. I too wanted it for Sentry Mode and it wasn't until last night that we picked up a 128GB USB stick to try out TeslaCam along with Sentry Mode. Drove around to get TeslaCam footage and then tested out the Alert status on Sentry. Didn't want to blast my neighbors by activating the Alarm feature, so will try that out in a more secluded area to see it for myself. Understand it is pretty loud. For the Alert triggering did like that the headlights flashed to get your attention and then the screen went active with the nice big red eye. Easy to see at night but kind of wondered about how noticeable it would be during the day. Did work as expected from what I could tell. When I turned off Sentry Mode, it did toggle the regular car Alarm to active. I like that you can activate Sentry from your app. I wonder if they are tweeking Sentry to not be as sensitive where it will save files. Did see a few posts from people that after parking their car for a hour or so they found their USB had many MB of saved files which were false alarms. Since Sentry saves files which don't get overwritten, people with small drives or who aren't viewing their USB drives on a more or less daily basis can find them filled up quickly. Do believe the car's app will send you a notice when that happens but not sure. If not, it should.

Along the lines of the Sentry alarm funciton, last night we were pulling into a parking lot for a Starbucks visit when the nearby credit union alarm started going off--very loud clanging bell sound. Despite being quite loud, honestly it was not attracting much attention. People heard it, kind of looked around and continues on their way. There was even a parking lot patrol guy who just kind of walked through the lot not even going over in that direction. Did notice the police pull up in the parking lot near there a bit later and I'm guessing it was a false trigger (the credit union was closed however). Just made me wonder how much attention people will pay to a Tesla's alarm going off. Still I'm happy to have this update but don't think I'll raise my back seats just yet.

I drive local streets mostly so don't use AP. My husband does use it when in my car and hasn't mentioned any issues with phantom braking.

Didn't get any updates in 2019 so far for my Model 3 ..

Since the update I did have one instance of a black rear screen after I kind of very firmly closed the trunk lid. I actually thought maybe the force affected the camera connection. It cleared up when I exited the car so it shut off and then reentered it. No reoccurance since.

Or wives

My wife has been convinced from the start that the car is trying to kill us, hence why she named it "Christine" the very first day I got it.

So I can confirm I've seen these issues with 5.3:

• Over-enthusiastic braking during AP when other cars are around
• Sentry Mode alarm goes off when closing the trunk (I've heard this was resolved with 5.4)
  
• Rear camera going black on occasion

But it still makes me wonder if there were other underlying issues that forced them to discontinue deployment. These issues here, albeit annoying, would not be showstoppers IMO but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm not sure I've noticed this with 2019.5.4.

Yeah I haven't seen this on 2019.5.4 at all.

• Rear camera going black on occasion

I've had frequent black screen delays of anywhere from 1 to 4 seconds with the rear camera on 2019.5.4.

I haven't had any issues with AP with phantom breaking with other car around me but I do have the rear camera going black for 1-3 seconds and then the camera feed appears. This mainly happens when the car is coming out of a deep sleep (going to work in the morning)

Yup - its all come to a screaming halt by the look.

I had EAP slow down due to someone on the sidewalk, that was a first. No cars anywhere nearby, nice weather, etc.

I’m also getting the regen breaking limited message kind of get stuck on the screen, even when per the power meter it is obviously working. Double press reboot fixes that one.
