Model 3 Software Update 2019.9.x

[Timmy T.]

You're providing details about when certain releases are being released and that they're beta firmware. That is explicitly against the EAP rules and the NDA you signed. I don't mean to be rude, but please re-read the agreement that you signed. Release timing and information would qualify as 'any' information.

Holy Cow - this brand new feature is unreal. It's a passenger seat eject. On the right steering wheel scroll wheel. You push it and <boom> there goes the passenger; seat and all. But the seat actually comes back and lands within 30 seconds. What can't these developers do?

Hey Kirby, do you want to take a drive with me? I'll drive.....

Understood this range increase was only for RWD LR vehicles. Did not apply to AWD versions. Small power boost ~5% for all vehicles. What model do you own?

LR RWD

Have you rebalanced your battery lately? What do you typically charge to and how low do you go on SOC?

i heard from a little birdie that the new summon is on this beta along with auto wipers ehanced and the car image larger and NoA without conf

As far as I know, Early Access Program Participants are not supposed to publicly discuss problems or issues with their beta software. You are not prevented from saying you are in the program.

Please review your Tesla EAP agreement.

No Early Access details shared other than I'm a card carrying member...haha

I've pretty much been assured that even a SC cannot push a newer version of the firmware to your car beyond what the system has in place for your exact vehicle at that time. There could be a very short lag.

See, you gotta be careful with that. I got that feature awhile ago, but turns out sometimes it ejects the driver instead! Damn beta firmwares... too many bugs they still gotta work out. I think I understand where all the factory worker injuries are coming from now!

I got a range decrease in v2019.5.15. Charged to 100% last night and shows 290 miles range.

I charge to 80% and got 254 which is ~ 317.5 at 100%.

 

[milosmaill]

So firmware that gives us extra range of 325 miles and faster acceleration has not been released yet?
I wonder if the battery charging display would show new 325 miles at 100% charge instead of 310 miles?

That came with 2019.5.15, which I received about 2 weeks ago. Hard to tell if there is more power, but I can now charge to 291/323 miles, depending on settings.

In regards to the range increase, I always charge to 88% and after the SW update with more range, it shows limit on regen due to battery is too full when charge to 88%. Anyone experiencing the same?

Don't bother the service centers asking for updates... they need to focus on Teslas with real problems. Imagine if you had a major issue with your car but couldn't get through because 300 forum readers saw that post and called your service center to schedule an appointment? or push software updates?

If you are that desperate for an update, drive to the service center when it's closed and it will automatically connect to the WIFI network there. 90% of the time my car downloads the new software version in 15 mins if I sit there. Also "bug reports" via the right button on the steering wheel seem to trigger software updates for me. Or maybe not, but I get them and I am pretty good about doing bug reports.

The service centers are a very finite resource and they are maxxed out now. Let's keep them free to deal with real problems when we have them...

Agree. Gotta eliminate unnecessary calls to Service Centers.
Would be best of you could request update via app, or in the car

Just an fyi, seems the power upgrade is stilll not fully rolled out to everyone yet. The AWD is coming soon according to Elon.

The performance boost has finally arrived for AWD. 8.3 has it according to the release notes.

I'm a non-P AWD and I just got 8.3 with the 5% performance boost.

 

[Ahansen20]

People are saying 8.2 is the one with 5% performance increase, and 5.15 is the one with range increase to 325 miles. 8.2 should include range increase as well.

I'm still on an older firmware so I can't confirm...

I have 5.15 and it's definitely the range increase

 

[DanH]

Looks like they’re pushing 8.3. It’s up 2.6%. It was about 1% a few hours earlier per Teslafi. ~ 40% is still below 5.15, myself included.

Great, but this is the thread about 2019.9.x...

 

[ctapiam3]

What a horribly selfish thing to do. Take up an appointment slot and prevent someone who may really need it from being able to schedule their service all because you can't be bothered to wait for your update like everyone else.
Do you sit in front of superchargers not plugged in on the off chance that you'll need to later in the day?

Not like theres people servicing there tesla's 24/7 every day at every service center. more like you should sit back and relax champ, not that serious

I'm a P3D. I got the 5% on 8.2.

I doubt that does anything.

 

[chickensworth]

any evidence that the Beta release 2019.9.xxx has all the functionality of 8.2 or 8.3? Are Tesla Beta's always comprehensive to past releases, or are they just testing certain features? i don't think it has the 5% power boost... asking for a friend.

Different feature branches may be released as different version numbers, it could include prior features or it could be like the 2019.5.2 build which didn’t have sentry or dog mode even though 5.1 did.

They’ll probably merge some of the 2019.8.x features into 2019.9.x or maybe everyone will move to 2019.10.x which will include all the recent features combined ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

True, but you have no way of knowing if that spot you just frivolously signed up for is one that someone else finds most convenient so they can get to work on time, or pick up their kid from daycare, or make a Dr's appointment.

Elon tweeted at one time that this would be a good idea (request via app) but don't know if it's on his radar to actually do it.
