New software, new bugs and new stupid "features"

My mother in law picked my car up

Now thats a close son-in-law.. Picking up your Model S from anywhere and no less service. I guess I have to relax a bit, nobody in my family drives my car. Out of fear of damaging it, I think they don't even ask.

they don't even ask.

My 22 year old son asks all the time. I just say no.

No so sure, still on the way down with every release, it seems.

Ya, whatever I’m on has serious audio fuuukups. And sticks + resets often. My car goes to romance channel on its own now that I tried the wtf

The ac blower goes back to 1, I left it on 8
The music screen pops up all the time
Can't close sunroof above 70mph. Very stupid.
Cant use dog mode below 20% charge, I'm plugged into super charging, idiot sw
Why dont they ask owners what we want? Add them, NOT what they want?

One thing about software is that if an organization doesn't have a serious system of code structuring, regression testing and feature control, random stuff pops up. A programmer will change something in the code base, maybe try a couple of quick tests to see if the exact thing they were trying to change works, then call it a day. Particularly in poorly structured code, there is a pretty high likelihood that they broke something else unrelated.

Ya, I also get HVAC returning to 1 each drive cycle, regardless of where I left it. At first I wondered if it was me, or my wife turning it down to 1... or if I was just forgetting differently... but then I remembered, oh ya... this is V9 software that is full of wonder and surprises. Mostly wonder.

Thanks programmer for being smarter than me and knowing what I really want, or thanks for being so careless as to wipe out fan setting each drive cycle.. (your choice). You're fired!

Hey replacement programmer, welcome to Tesla.. here's your first job: do better than just leaving HVAC settings alone, save the current settings with the driver profile when person exits. The next driver, regardless of who it is, gets their favorite settings back just how they left them, even if someone else drove the car in between. (User story: my wife likes A/C always, but I don't and think it's a waste of energy.)

Since we are asking for improvements.

Lets put in a REMOTE REBOOT option the phone app.

It is a sad statement that we'd have to ask for this. It's sad that we have to reboot at all, but I get it.

Here's two features I'd really like to see:

1. Every AP car out there reads speed limit signs. You can set cruise to automatically adopt a speed at a certain level above (or below?) the posted limit. I'm set at +4mph (oh! I'm a bad boy!). When the speed limit changes, the car's speed does not. I should have the option to tell the car whether or not to adjust the set speed to the new speed limit (plus the limit adjustment setting). The car reads the new limit; it shows it on the IC. Why can't it adjust the set speed to automatically match?

2. A convenience feature: Add a timer to the summon feature to automatically activate the garage door after a user-adjustable delay. That way when the car is parked in the garage, the door will automatically close afterwards.
