Model 3 Software Update 2019.5.x
- Thread starter PoitNarf
- Start date
Some have suggested in the past that if there proves to be a bug in the program, better to catch it before every owner receives it.

But that's why they have EAP'ers. Right?
Tesla has been rolling this out to California for a few weeks now right? They aren't ALL a part of EAP ( at least I don't think so). Why didn't the rest of the country get included with the original California group?
The number of public revisions in the 2019.5.x series is a demonstration why they don't roll to all at once. Heaven forbid there be a major issue with the release.
Hey, look: my car's updating, right on cue. Who woulda thunk it?
We're now up to about 38% of 3s on a 2019.5 release.

No, this release revision started on Thursday. Tesla typically rolls through a few revisions in EAP and small public batches before settling on the one that goes wide. This release was more revisions than is typical.

2019.5.15, according to some website that I won’t bother naming.

Thanks.....
Moreso - thanks for not mentioning said website.
Question: I'm looking at TMC and seeing people with issues with 2019.5.15. Right?
Would you suggest that 2019.5.15 has been properly vetted?
Just finished updating to 2019.5.15. I upgraded from 2019.5.4.
I’m hopeful it will have less issues than the version I just upgraded from. As long as the black rear camera bug that resurfaced with 2019.5.4 is fixed I’ll be happy.

Just finished updating 2019.5.15 f5def7e here in Florida. No issues with update causing screen not to come on as some have been reporting.
Seems Tesla has upgraded Sentry mode a bit as well. "Sentry Mode will send recorded footage to Tesla for temporary backup and feature improvement."
You can enable.disable the above via the DATA SHARING settings.

Interesting. My Google WiFi only shows around 326MB downloaded a short while ago before I got the update notification. I was updating from 2019.5.4. I wonder if the updates are deltas or if the entire software gets downloaded with each new version.
No. like Zaxxon said, this release started rolling a few days ago. The first people on 2019.5.15 we're aware of were on 3/7.
And this is now the fifteenth version being tried: 2019.5.15, version f5def7e.
Many people who got an early version, like 2019.5.4, end up getting updates like 2019.5.5 and 2019.5.6... because they had bugs that needed fixing. Tesla wasn't going to send the new version to new guinea pigs when they had existing people whose version needed updating. And each time they roll out a version, they roll out only enough to find out whatever they needed to check, and then they pause long enough to give the code enough time to generate data (it often takes time for the right circumstances to happen to test the changes). With each improved version, they can roll it out more broadly, if appropriate (sometimes it's not - sometimes it's enough to confirm one particular bug is fixed, but they won't roll broadly until other bugs are fixed). Personally, I don't mind when I get an "early" version - if there's a troublesome aspect or bug, I can deal with it for a a few days, and I always watch my car's behavior closely. But I'm also OK waiting for the big rollout; when that happens to me, I know that my code is going to be more stable and I won't be getting another "fix" in a couple of days.
Also, since you keep saying it, you should know that the whole 2019.5 series did not start rolling out on the 5th week of 2019. It was finalized in-lab in the 5th week of 2019. Then it went for final QA and/or deployment testing; the first 2019.5.X did roll out until the 7th week of 2019. Point Narf started this thread on Feb 14, which is late in the 7th week of the year:
It's typical for them to begin to roll about 2 weeks after the date implied in the version code. Sometimes there's a whole new version in a couple weeks, sometimes there isn't one for a few months. A lot of people in the background are working on various aspects at various speeds, and they come "ready" at their own pace.
Lastly, anyone watching things is aware that we've seen a tiny few Model 3s on 2019.7.11. That code was feature-complete two weeks after 2019.5, and has gone through 11 revisions, but is still not good enough to roll out en mass. So they're already working improving the new features in that while rolling out the stabilized 2019.5.x series. We don't know when 2019.7 will begin to roll more broadly - or if it will, at all! They may roll the refined features into a later update before rolling it broadly.
In-house, they probably have features/code alternatives in multiple other 2019.x release sthat may or may not ever see the light of day; sometimes work can get rolled forward several weeks. It depends how many new features vs. how much new work that needs testing, and it also depends on how many developer hours need to be spent on stabilizing older version based on field results.
And, through it all, their systems record the successful upgrades (and the upgrade failures, which also happen.) They get feedback from the cars on errors. Many cars allow them to pull more comprehensive data and images (mine does, but some people opt out.) So they can see how the cars are responding to the new code in real time, as well as getting feedback form individuals through services requests, through the EAP program, and through simply monitoring forums like this one.
He’s using Google WiFi access points. With the companion mobile app you can view downstream and upstream data usage of each device on your network. I have them too, highly recommend them.
I would go with the smaller. My car had just finished charging. That was 24 hour data. So the actual package might been+- a bit. 600ish seems large. Might have restarted if it didn't finish correctly. I know very little.

The Tesla site only says “EPA est” for the SR and LR RWD. This could be because they’re using the more optimistic EPA numbers to raise the min and max range of the lineup. Or maybe those are the only two configs tested by the EPA for range. I want to believe my LR RWD is getting additional range, but I doubt it.
