I would love to know where the list of things the car listens for came from. Perhaps there is an API that is documented somewhere. Or perhaps it had just been collected from people having success with certain words, sure do wish it recognized the phrase "Directions To..."
Perhaps someone just read a dictionary into their car...

Plus hopefully you can use abetterrouteplanner.com, which I think takes into account driving conditions when planning your EV trip.
I have always thought that a weather overlay on the navigation map would be an excellent addition.
Being able to at least tell the car to dial a specifc number in a multi-number contact and not have to select it would be great...

If by driving conditions you mean elevation and altitude change. The in car nav does that.

Certainly, the TezLab app used to have a website that included the weather ahead where you were. Perhaps the Windy.com site

TeslaFi says the first model 3 install of v9 was this morning.....
Interesting. I'm not getting any notification. I'll see if I can put the car on Wi-Fi and see what happens. Now does this install of version 9 include the all-wheel-drive performance Model 3 vehicles? In other words does version 9 go out to everybody simultaneously or is it released in a staged and vehicle specific fashion?

The rollout of the highly anticipated 9.0 software could happen over the coming WEEKS. The schedule for upgrading the fleet is not rated in hours like it is for an Apple iOS updates. I know we’re all anxious to get the new software update, but we need to be patient. If all members on TMC posted “I’m still waiting” messages, that’s all we’d see here. When we start seeing a mass rollout of the new software to people that are not part of the early access program, and when you still haven’t received the update two to thee weeks after that point, you should:
At least the new software update will let you approve pending updates from the phone. That will be more convenient when you want to start a software update for a notification that you received while you were asleep. Kick off the update from your bedroom while you’re getting ready in the morning so you can play with the new software on the morning commute that day...
- Verify your car is logged into your wi-fi network. Being on wi-fi gives you a little higher priority to download updates, but it’s not going to immediately start the download just because you’re on wi-fi when parked at home or work
- Contact Tesla Service - only do this at something like 3 or more weeks from the point that you are waiting on a release that has been widely distributed for a long time; calling them because you are a week behind on software updates just adds to the work for the already busy group. I personally waited just shy of a month to receive the software update that added the Summon feature.

Tesla normally releases major new updates to small batches at a time, not to everyone at once. Sometimes the batches are for specific feature combinations, other times they are just random.

I’m going to venture to guess EAP users get this one first.

+1 on this as well! I wonder if early vins will also somehow get priority too.
FWIW, Reddit user is reporting that mass roll out to everyone of V9 over WiFi is tomorrow morning:
It's official: V9 (2018.40) will roll out to everybody on Monday, October 1st. Just confirmed over the phone with Tesla CS. : teslamotors
