Model 3 Software Updates

[FloridaJohn]

It would not surprise me too much if "minor improvements" or "minor bug fixes" in software resulted in noticeable improvements in EAP handling. I need to get out today and see how it feels with 32.2.

I agree. I think I read on TMC somewhere earlier this year that a major improvement in EAP came on a update which only listed "minor improvements." I think sometimes these upgrades are, indeed, minor, and sometimes they make a dramatic difference in how something works. I think they only announce new, additional features in the release notes.

BTW, it's August. Weren't they promising the first features for the FSD package to come out this month? I didn't pay for FSD, but I'm anxious to learn what these new features are, and how well people find them to work. If they introduce features I want badly enough I could upgrade.

They were, but I think it got amended somewhat. The initial release is going to their outside Beta testers this month, and then wide release next month, assuming no major problems found during the testing.

it's probably a placebo effect, lol

I would imagine any improvements in autopilot would be a big thing to celebrate, rather than "minor improvements" as indicated on the screen. it's so minor, they don't even list any specs (only previous update descriptions).

brake/accel transitions is affected from regen braking adjustments. my passengers were getting carsick from standard, so i set it to low. after using it for awhile then going back to standard, even I can't stand the aggressive automatic braking. it's much more comfortable and worth whatever mileage lost from regenerative braking.

my app experience is unchanged with new firmware. summon still sucks (never had an issue with other stuff like horn, lock, lights)

They have been minor adjustments in the EAP that started in 24.x Certainly there were some major ones, but the lane change, merge over and speed up/slow down pace was definitely made more, human.

Yes. I think the release notes only announce new features, not improvements in old ones.

I went for a drive today, to the more distant supermarket for an excuse to drive. This could easily be my imagination, but it seemed to me there was a slight improvement in braking when approaching stopped cars at a traffic light, and in accelerating when they move again. But if so, the improvement is slight. I still don't like it. Not yet smooth enough on the braking or quick enough to resume motion.

However, my main use of AP is on the freeway, and there it really shines. Or I use it between traffic lights and disengage it to stop and resume myself.

P.S. But today I was able to connect the phone, which was not working on 28.1.

I felt like there was improvement in TACC in accelerating and braking on the freeway on the commute to work this morning. Got 32.2 last night.

Just installed 32.2 last night and saw a small issue.

On the on-screen vehicle showing the brake light. My left brake light is "dim" compared to the right. I did a reboot and it still didn't fix this issue. If I turn on the parking lights they light up just fine. I think it's software related and will contact service later today.

Glad I'm not the only one who is experiencing this "bug", I reported this to Tesla so hope it's fixed in the next update.

I have 32.2. it's the best thing since 10.4! J/k the car is still in SC with 32.2 and I haven't experienced it yet

Yes! I got 32.2 today. Looking forward to trying out everything including summon tomorrow.

My car tried to install the update but received an error in the middle. The ensuing message said I needed to wait until the next update was pushed. Anyone else experience the same?

I got 2018.32.2 but still no summon. An ideas why?

Did you purchased EAP? It's required to use summon. Also should check the car settings to enable settings first in order for it to be used in the phone app.

 

[Dixsea]

Yes I have EAP and have checked all the settings but see no mention of Summon anywhere.

Updated your iPhone/Android app?

 

[Dixsea]

Yes the app is updated. It appears from other posts the summon feature is blocked on the model 3 in Canada due to lack of a fob. Some government auto safety stupid rule.

No Summon in Canada until the law changes.... In Canada, Summon requires a key fob...

I have 2018.28.5 but it seems most of you went from 28.2 to 30 something.. did you skip 28.5?

32.2 and my iPhone Bluetooth still has occasional connection issues.

Used to be half or more if my calls and now it's occasional.

E.g. when I make a call from the touchscreen it fails to connect to Bluetooth and goes directly to my phone, which also doesn't work unless I select speakerphone on my iPhone.

I went from 28.2 to 32.2 and now phone unlock is way too slow to detect my proximity. Used to work 100% of the time (iPhone X) and now about half the time I walk up to my car and try to open the door it's still locked. Pretty huge regression for me.

The opposite happened to me
