Model 3 Software Updates

[MMBTUS]

Big firmware push evident today. Thanks, Tesla.

Some big things and little things add up to a major interface upgrade. Blind spot detection is vastly improved with the expanded lane views. The added detail on adjacent traffic is transformative. Anything moving behind you right or left is clearly displayed. Climate control interface is a work of art. Music interface is much improved with new row of sources nicely spaced instead of hard to use drop down. Fewer icons on main display improves usability. Temp setting change is a home run. Just putting temp and time on the top left side was a welcome move.

A great set of improvements to enjoy. Still figuring out some of them.

What’s next?

Anyone keeping a wish list?

Refreshing to hear someone not complain about the update

Re my 3:Excuse my ignorance. I just received 2018.39.7 9736c9b. Is this version 9 you mention in your post?

How do you play the Atari games in fullscreen mode?

 

[swaltner]

There’s a button in the corner of the game window labeled Full. This lets you enter full screen mode. Triple tap the screen to exit.

Anyone get v9 over LTE only?

No and yes.
My car is NEVER on WiFi. Yesterday I turned on my phone WiFi hotspot and left it in the car for 3 hours.
When I came back, it was downloaded and ready!

Just looked up notification history on my phone, and there was SW available yesterday 4:00 am.
Nothing on the car, and i'm on wi-fi.

Advice?

Swapped cars with my wife for the weekend because I took my daughters camping. Apparently while I was gone, she x'ed out of the update notification twice when it prompted her. Once in Friday and once on Saturday.

Now I'm home and can't get it to trigger. Am I sent to the back of the cue?

I'm dying here. Any suggestions? She feels terrible and I'm trying to keep a brave face.

Just click on the yellow clock icon (top row of screen)

It's not there and the update notification is not showing in the inbox on either of our phones in the Tesla app.

In that case Tesla may have pulled it. That happened to me once with my S.

Patience... when you get it some of the early bugs may be fixed.

 

[mpclimber]

Fair warning, I have no idea if what I did had any affect on anything, BUT...

I live only 3 miles from a service center. On a lark, and based on some unsubstantiated internet rumors, I stopped into the parking lot and connected to the service department's WiFi while I was out running an errand. Low and behold, I got my alarm clock back 5 minutes later! Car is happily installing now and marriage is saved

Still waiting, check my wireless APs at home multiple times a day, no evidence of any downloads happening.....

 

[R1Fast]

3 days straight connected to wifi hostpot on my phone and no v9. I think I'll drink a little snake oil and swing by the SC in the morning to piggy back off their network.

I stopped in at my SC center and the service manager pushed V9 out to me. Fortunately, Tesla is close to me, but at this point, I am pretty sure he would have done it, had I just called.

 

[electrictorque]

Does anyone know what is new/fixed with the new firmware 2018.40 ?

 

[R1Fast]

I stopped in at my SC center and the service manager pushed V9 out to me. Fortunately, Tesla is close to me, but at this point, I am pretty sure he would have done it, had I just called.

I tried to do the same this morning, first by just sitting in the parking lot and connecting to both Tesla Service and Tesla Guest. 1 hour later... nothing. While waiting I asked Service if they could just push it manually, they said they "aren't able" (riiiiight) and that my name was a ways back in the queue ~1 week away; Implying they could see an actual queue but couldn't do anything about it. That is, at least accd'ing to this one service manager.

She also said there was a pause in V9 releases this morning due to some SW bug(s), and that they were pushing an incremental patch to V9 users first before dropping to anyone new. Taking the entire response with one giant heaping teaspoon of shi..... salt.
