Model S Software/Firmware Updates

[dsm363]

Is there a fix for this issue? I have the latest sw version and the Homelink selection is hidden behind the backup camera. I can confirm that it does not use GPS to place the selections accordingly.

It doesn't look like it has been fixed yet. Hopefully the big software update coming includes a fix for this.

It is curious that some bugs that I saw when I first got my Model S seem to have disappeared. The most obvious is the pixelation on the driver/speedometer display. It was happening often, now seems to be gone. There is also a report of slightly changed charging behaviour when plugged in over a multiple day period.

Tesla may be installing "minor" fixes in the background and using the realease/install process only for major releases with change UI behaviour. Has anyone else noticed similar "silent" fixes?

This problem seems to be intermittent. I had it happen every day for the first week, then it didn't happen at all for two weeks, then this week it happened three times again. Not sure what triggers it but I doubt there has been any actual software update sent to the cars to fix it.

Please tell me I am not the only one who goes in to the garage each night just to see if there is any update notification on the screen ?!?!

No. You and I have the same nightly behavior pattern (re: problem) :smile:

Why do that. It's easier just to check on here and see if anyone posts about an update message. Then you can go look at the car :smile:

...You mean you don't sit in your car and read the forums?

I was doing that before the car arrived. Now I do both!

One other tidbit from my delivery experience, which may be old news is that apparently they are on the verge of rolling out a new firmware version. Would include proximity for door handles, proximity for Homelink, and a bunch of other things. The DS said he'd email me a PDF on the update.

If the proximity for homelink is old news I missed that, very cool! (sorry to derail, maybe move to the updates thread?)

We should probably move this to some dedicated homelink thread but...

This has me a little worried. If I just tap/tap my Homelink entry, my garage stops halfway up (it sends the signal too long). If I tap/tap/tap (HL/entry/HL), then my garage opens perfectly. I don't know how to game it like this when it's proximity "auto tap/tap".

no news on loading songs to the hard drive and wifi hotspot functionality? That was one of my biggies so that I didn't have to load my phone with music #1 and carry around my Sprint hotspot #2.

Salivating at the thought of new stuff to play with!

Great updates! Auto door handles yay! Just need wifi and access to hd.

Also, Brian as I understand it the home link just displays the closest location at the top. It doesn't auto open.
