Model 3 Software Updates

[loganthefirst]

Not sure if there is a thread directly for reporting new updates to the software or not but if there is, mods can crush or link us to that. Thanks!

I'm exciting to see the new updates for each new software update that is released.

Anyone know where to find software update “release notes” on M3? On my MS there is a link on about screen but don’t see anywhere in M3 UI.

I’m beginning to think it’s not implemented yet. My dad just got his first software update after taking delivery of a M3 3 days ago, we didn’t see any indication that the software update completed other than a notification on his phone when it completed, and a new software version shown under the car (Tesla T) info page. Unlike the S/X, there doesn’t appear to be a place to find that info, and I didn’t find the car manual on the 15” display either. Tesla called me and told me that they just put the manual in the MyTesla portion of their website, so looks like some of this is an ongoing progress. I’d be willing to bet all this will come soon in an upcoming update and won’t know till suddenly it just pops up.

What software version does everybody currently have on their 3?

Would be great to see if we're all on the same version - I've seen 48.9 as the most recent so far.

we picked up on Thursday 29th. No OTA updates as far as I'm aware. Car has 48.11.

so seems slightly later, but i have all the same "missing" features everyone else here has complained about, so i'm not aware of any new functionality in that version.

Picked up the 3 yesterday and just got pushed 48.15 tonight. Looks like they fixed the issue with the app constantly reporting charger door as "open".

They have a page with the latest release notes. To access it to go My Tesla, click on the 3, and "Software Updates"

@DavidZ Any chance you can share a screen shot of that?

2017.48.15 8812942 came down tonight and here is where you can view release notes and more in your MyTesla account.

@JenniferQ What no screenshot of the actual release notes?

Are there really release notes behind that, or is that just information about installing updates on your Model 3?

 

[JenniferQ]

There are release notes under that. And a whole bunch of other submenus. This is also a graphic showing how to access the new features.

 

[JoshG]

That page is out of date and seems to describe only the major updates. they don't seem to update it with each release, or they're behind. (for instance, it references only 2017.48 and not the further third set of release numbers like 2017.48.11 or the new 2017.48.15 that came last night.

I assume, like Model S, software updates will come with in-car release notes soon. I wouldn't rely on that page on MyTesla if you want the very latest.

spoke too soon. Update came in this morning, being installed now. Presumably it's 48.15 that fixes the "charge port door is open" error that others are reporting this morning.

Tesla's software versions appear to follow this pattern: <year>.<major version>.<patch level>. From what I've seen on the S, the release notes, they tend to only reflect the major version. Patch updates typically include a line saying "Various improvements", etc. They tend to introduce new features in major version updates, and other bugfixes in the patch.

got 48.15 - installed (about 20 minutes) - no release notes

Looks like most of the 3's are getting 48.15: Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App

This is supposed to be one of the features to be added with new software update.

Ours has 48.15 but it claimed to have a Software Update waiting. When I tried to update it manually it said the update failed.

Stupid question time: Where is the WiFi setting for the 3? It's obvious in the other cars but I can't find it at all on the Model 3.

No WiFi support yet, hopefully coming soon!

Weird. No scheduled charging yet either. Seems like they would have had that well figured out by now.
Also feels like there should be a lot more functions built into the scroll balls on the wheel. They don't do much.
