Software Update 2018.39 4a3910f (plus other v9.0 early access builds)

I've seen 5 so far

Awesome, thanks.

What do these dark grey lines represent? Cars approaching in non-adjacent lanes?

Auto lane change still restricted on non-freeways?

Any idea how this would react to an exit lane or junction lane backed up with traffic? Any indication so far that it is traffic aware and would line up in the backed up lane, or at least try try and merge into the line somewhere safe?

Car drives itself. Mad Max mode enabled. Turn confirmation is disabled. The car basically drives itself, whenever you see a blue line in the middle it's driven by autopilot.

New easter egg? Autopilot with a sound track! Very nice.

I thought the grey lines were the path that it is thinking about/wanting to take, vs. the blue line that is the path that it is currently taking. That is why right before a lane change you see the grey line showing the new lane change path.

I noticed the car going 77 in a 65 zone; so is the car setting any +10 mph ceiling at all? or in certain areas?

Great job cleaning the IC. Mine gets dusty 5 minutes after I clean it.

Interstates always allow up to 90mph.

Thank you @dennis_d for your efforts and sharing, that sounds very promising! I do hope it makes its way to Europe sooner than 3 months maybe, 6 months definitely

Makes sense. This example has the grey line two lanes over and the video cuts to a new clip before the car changes lanes. Would have been interesting to watch the car change two or three lanes.

Very possible they dont have the bandwidth to make the car drive defensively yet. I also suspect it's a culture thing with Tesla. They make fast cars and tend to implement software features that appeal to more aggressive drivers who are probably the bigger customer base.

I remember complaining early on about the fact you cant set a 3's cruise control to anything less than the speed limit without unwanted acceleration and frantic clicking on the screen (and now scrolling on the wheel) and people were like "why would anyone ever want to set cruise less than the speed limit!?" It would have been easy enough to make the default behavior set your current speed always (and arguably the more conservative way to go to not surprise folks with acceleration when turning on cruise), but that wasn't how they chose to do it.

I believe that this is possible if you pull the stalk to the first position instead of all way down.

This! @dennis_d could you help clarify?

I’m leaving town for a week tomorrow around noon, so I’m expecting the update shortly after then.

Can't you bring forward your departure date, to now?

Just installed tesla app 3.6 which says new app features require 2018.39. based on last time this happened, I received an update within 3 weeks. Fingers crossed it's not longer than that.

My guess is that it is a path planning, or display bug.

I wouldn't even start counting until it actually makes it way to the US first. (EAP members and hackers don't count.)

Which is crazy because we're out here salivating at the thought of trying anything and would happily do it for free...

Yeah but you're not going to give Tesla some new money, you already gave them money. While they want to test, Im sure they dont mind the 100-200 new car sales that will come of this.

OK maybe you would, but not me. I'd want a lot more than they are getting. I hope they are getting life insurance with that. I don't even want the V9 when it comes out. I'll let everyone else work out the bugs. I plan to ignore the update.
