7.2 will include yet another clock in another location, will remove the equalizer function from the media control, and there will be no appreciable fixes to navigation or any of the core software common to all vehicles. But the car will be able to valet itself.
I lol'ed.
In addition to the features already noted, I think we can expect automatic speed changes based on the posted limits / sign reading in a future release.
This feature is in 7.1
I tested it on non divided highway yesterday and it adjusted to +8 at each speed change. I did not have Autosteer engaged, just Cruise, so that probably explains it. I'll have to test on highway tonight and see what it does. There are a couple of speed changes on my way home.Not exactly. 7.1 will keep your speed +5 on non-divided highways. If a divided highway has a speed change, 7.1 will keep you at your original set speed.
AP isn't complete. It was promised that a future update would enable the car to detect traffic lights and stop signs and come to a halt.
I would hope that the contract Tesla has with Garmin is seen as a relatively large contract to Garmin, as a result, I would hope that if Tesla threatened to switch providers if Garmin didn't shape up, that we might see an update... or a new provider who was willing to do so. (Feature wise I'd suggest Tom-Tom, for map accuracy I'd recommend Google)I agree that Nav could be improved, but given that it's just a system they bought from Garmin, is there any reason to believe that Tesla could do anything to change it in existing cars? Wouldn't Garmin have to improve it?
I think a lot of people will disagree with you there. AP and the related features have a ton of things missing. Summon is barely a proof of concept. Unless you can line up your car right in front of the spot it needs to go it's useless. Reading of speed signs needs more work. Identification of the type of road. Of exits. Of road splits. Positioning compared to cars in neighboring lanes.
Care for a splash more Kool Aid?I agree that Nav could be improved, but given that it's just a system they bought from Garmin, is there any reason to believe that Tesla could do anything to change it in existing cars? Wouldn't Garmin have to improve it?

Also, as far as I can tell, the "update to end range anxiety" with the "trip planner" software, is not Garmin, but something else, and that's the part that people want fixed the most.
Funny thing is... map data on the 17" is obviously from Google. And usually correct. But the navigation system uses its own map data (which is currently badly outdated with the last update more than a year ago.Map data is and has always been from Google. Just the navigation algorithm itself is Tesla's implementation of Navigon. That's where the problem happens...
I have been accused of being a complaining curmudgeon in these boards in the past. I am glad that everyone else has caught up with my level of disappointment. To paraphrase several of you, who clearly have tunneled into my brain,
--they start seemingly useful features like auto condition (or whatever it's called), and when it doesn't work, they never finish it, going on to the next shiny thing that will get some free PR and maybe pump the stock price $10 for a day or two.
--voice commands that you can get in a BMW or Chevy,
--nav that is as good as a five year old Acura, for G-d's sake,
-- UI fixes (alternatively, give me a toggle to go back to 6.2 -- I drive a Classic, don't need the stupid toy car).
--the app sucks, gets frozen half the time. How about the ability to just program heat times with a calendar grid?
--improve media interface (move around favorites, etc).
-- a phone "Favorites" list, in addition to "Recent" (I think my 17 year old can get that it of programming done in an afternoon on the toilet).
--Apple, a company that worships perfecting the user experience, buys tesla.
i love my car, i really do, it's just....
