Software Update 2018.10.4

[kristofior]

Hey all, I have the new MCU in my MS100D and last night I got a fw update 2018.10.2. Haven’t seen anything about the fw, but I will let y’all know if it’s got similar AP improvements to 10.4.

Hi arrowpine,

Could you post a video of navigation screen while driving ?
How fast does the screen refreshes per second ?
(with MCU1 is seems like approx 3 frames / sec, satellite mode or not is same)

Also, when you zoom in/out, do you see blank tiles beeing getting filled one by one or does the tile filing depend on the LTE network quality ?


Thanks.

Alright joint is better, but my house is at 9750 feet and I walk downhill to get to Mountain Lodge. But the pool and bar there is nice, so we will call it a tie!

Ok. So I rounded up by 500 feet!

I now have 4 software update notices on my phone. I get back home tonight and plan to hit the update button when I get there!

Just got off the phone with Tesla support asking why I haven't gotten 10.4 update on one of our cars. He said that they have largely halted sending the update because a small percentage of cars have been experiencing MCU "blackouts" which won't turn back on despite hard resets. The engineering team has been up all night and working 24/7 to resolve it. Expect an updated release (10.5?) soon...

I'm guessing this is the reason why I haven't got the update today. I'll have my car on wifi for most of the business day today, and if it doesn't give me the update today, I'm thinking of calling the SC to see what the deal is.

Or 2018.10.2 could be the fix for the blank IC issue that was holding back delivery of MCU2 vehicles.

Yeah, if only we have actual things, wait, what are they called? Oh, yeah, Release Notes!

So I thought it was the ultrasonics yesterday when the motorcycle buzzed me, but this was Too far a distance to be ultrasonics, check out the car in the center video approaching from behind. Or who knows? , I don’t know if my car steered away a bit extra, I was mid way through a manual lane change abd I tensed my hand hard from the warning

With this latest update, it still seems like the AP is confused when there is a motorcycle in the adjacent lane. Even if you and the motorcycle stay in their respective lanes, don’t change lanes and the bike is not close to you at all, you’ll still hear the single beeping proximity alert warning sounds. This happened to me twice now where I was the one passing the motorcycle which was in an adjacent lane both times. Hope this gets sorted out once side cameras are put into use to pick up vehicles.

Motorcycle engine sounds seem pretty good at inducing false alerts in the ultrasonic sensors. Even a lane over, motorcycles have always caused pulsating yellow/orange alerts when most other cars wouldn't even be detected. I guess 10.4 might be acting more on ultrasonic detections.

My car was wedged hard again this morning, no amount of two-finger saluting would bring back the MCU. After about 10 minutes I gave up and decided to start driving, which did whatever magic needed to be done to get it to reboot.

This is gonna be mighty annoying if it's not fixed soon.

So even after taking it to a service center where in their service log it shows them updating my firmware, I'm still stuck on 2017.50.3.
I emailed them and they said they were going to have it pushed again but 3 days later still nothing

Where are you seeing 10.1? That’s for the Model 3 as far as we know. That one thread I didn’t see a confirmation in.

We saw an S with the new MCU and 2018.6.50 last Wednesday. It was then upgraded to 2018.10.1. It then had problems (as others have reported) and wouldn't start or reboot.

That is interesting, if they are already sharing software between the 3 and the S/X... If that's the long term plan, it means we're still using to two software forks, Intel and Tegra (or whatever names you want to put on them).

Thanks, David!!

Hmm.. still no reviews from any M3 owners on the latest AP update ?

Maybe already mention in this thread but it seams like Tesla has start using the B-pilar cameras even if they isn't a must. Feels like the easiest way to avoid ping pong in the lane, use side cameras to keep a distans to the lanes.

I doubt the B-pillars can see the lane lines any better than the forward camera. Those cameras probably can't see the lines immediately below them; the vertical field of view isn't good enough. They can probably see the lines well forward of the car, but then, so can the forward camera (particularly the wide-angle.)

No way using the side pillar cameras would be the easiest way to avoid ping pong.

The way to avoid pingpong is not to try to stay as accurately in the center of the lane as possible at all times. Rather it is that philosophy is what creates pingpong effect.

The best way to avoid pingpong is to use the head camera and look at the road ahead. Then plan a smooth path to follow as long ahead as possible within safe distances of road edges, not necessarily always in center.

Think about it. That's how you were taught to drive smooth too, same principle. Look far ahead and plan your driving. Most drivers don't look out the side windows for the centerline.

Overall very nice improvements, but keeps trying to take left hand freeway exits (north of Seattle)

And........added two new dash rattles (sorry, couldn't resist...but they are new and they are annoying).

 

[cmaster]

Weird. I'm still on 2018.6.1. I have a 2017 Model S 75

Looks like most of us with 3s are still on 2018.4.9

 

[avesraggiana]

There have been some murmurings about the the premium sound system not sounding so premium anymore since the latest update, specifically the noticeable loss of bass and a reduction in maximum volume.

My ears are pretty shot and I really can't tell the difference. Has anyone found this to be true?

You’re not alone - 2017 S75D here running the same firmware...

Or could autopilot finally be using gps data? I feel if every camera was covered, autopilot might still work. Hopefully I get the update soon to test.
