Anyone that know how many cameras Tesla is using now and wish cameras, I know that they start using two cameras in the front about a year ago but have they added more since then and if so, wish? Shouldn't be to hard to test with little tape. For changing lane on highway it would be great if they soon started to use the cameras looking back on the side of the car.

Software Update 2018.10.4
- Thread starter Helmuth
- Start date
3 (Front main, Front narrow for object recognition) Front wide for rain sensing wipers, that's all for now.
I'm loving me some 2018.10.4 too!
It would be awesome if someone who has access to AP1 and AP2 could do a comparison on the same roads now. Would be great to have solid evidence that definitely answers the question: Has AP2 surpassed AP1.
For science!

Currently on 3GB. I'm assuming this will be upload back to Tesla with autopilot data maybe? Going to pull the plug before I eat through my months data cap...
That sounds like a map update!
Rough timing but that's way bigger than an AP update.
I bought a wifi extender so that I get 3 bars from my garage but as of this morning, I got nothing.
i've had better luck when I switched to a mesh network and ditched the extender (I went with orbi). Also reboot the main screen and dash. I got the update this AM after that (probly coincidence).
I don’t quite understand how a better WiFi connection can get you an update pushed quicker. From what I understand it just doesn’t work like that. I have never connected my car to WiFi and got the update a few days ago. It might download quicker but it still needs to be triggered by Tesla.
And don’t get me started on WiFi not being an internet connection..... LOL

Unless you get explicitly pushed an update (e.g. via contacting the service center about an issue), most updates do try to fetch over wifi for a certain number of days (around 8.0's release it was said to be 2 weeks) before giving up and fetching over LTE.
So, you indeed may get updates slightly quicker when you're on wifi as a part of the usual random-selection rollout. However, if your car is not picked to receive an update in the first place, it won't magically make an update appear.
I have a detached garage that's nowhere near my wifi AP, so every once in a while I'll park the car up by the house. When I heard there was a new, interesting update available, I pulled up and got 1 bar of wifi connection showing on the display. Noticed my internet connection was running a bit sluggish, and sure enough got a notification about 20mins later that the car had downloaded new firmware and it was available to install.
I had considered getting a wifi repeater to get better signal (or any signal at all in the garage), but it's really not worth it. The mothership will give you your upgrade when it sees fit, it seems.

Every update, same comments.
You only get the update once you've been whitelisted for the update. No wifi trickery can help that. I have a Unifi AC AP Pro right above my X... it has 99% signal strength. Yet mine hasn't started downloading the update.
Just be patient.

Don’t want to clog up a firmware thread with this discussion again, but a restart only reconnects the VPN to the mothership. That will only get you an update quicker if you had a bad connection before or if you weren’t on wifi before. You are in the same spot on the distro list as you always were.
Lets see who can figure this one out.
Got notification last night if 2018.10.4, I installed it and this morning took the car to the service center for another issue. I just got notification that new software update is available (while the car still at the SC)... new update came out ... or 2018.11 ?
