Software Update 2018.39.6 8377b4d
- Thread starter Fcautela1
- Start date
This was the old leaf but still, it doesn't look like a sedan since its a hatch but it can't be properly called an SUV. I like the new LEAF with pro-pilot but their battery tech is bad. My parents and brothers' LEAFs (leaves?) all have 12 bars after 4 years and a combined 73k miles. The old lizard battery tech wasn't so bad even if it was only 24kwh.
My model S 75D has only 243 miles @100% (a loss of 6.2% capacity in 22 mos (37k miles)).
Anyways, I just completed another trip and the pedestrian detection in parking lots is not as good. Once a human blends in with a different object (i.e a car), the image disappears. If their face is obscured, its less confident. If its a human out in the open, its detected no issues it seems (including tracking movement fairly precisely).

I'm all in for the update.
- did all the lane changing & loved the 360 views
- did get the attached message on IC twice, but it's not persistent, stopped to get coffee and all working at restart
- did forward & reverse summons outta garage, and parallel park all same as before
- passed by two joggered who were on the street, my left side, I slowed gently adjacent to them to waive, IC showed avatar of a person (I think in motion).
- xmas show works

Ok, this is kind of amazing. I did an auto-lane change with the latter half of the change being as I went through an intersection. Worked perfectly.
I tried the same thing! Once I started it too late (after entering the interaction) and it smoothly aborted. Other than that it worked!
Lane change aborts seem to be graceful now, not neck snapping.

Summon never used cameras for sensing, they are 100% ultrasonics.
There should be no improvement there until they release Smart Summon that uses the camera suite

Updated to v9 from 34.1. So far really liking this update. The only thing that bugs me a little is how slowly the AP catches up with the car in the front now after coming to a full stop. Anyone else feel that way?
I called customer service. After waiting on hold for 1 hour, I was told that updates 'happen randomly' and that they couldn't do anything to 'push it out' and just to 'wait'. Any suggestions on what to do? :-(

umm... wait?
I can understand the excitement, but waiting is the best thing to do in this case. You will get it soon.

You wasted their time and also caused others to wait on hold longer by being impatient about getting the update.
Guys, while normally, I’d agree with that, this person in particular is still on 28.5, meaning they haven’t gotten a single update since somewhere around June/July. Highly likely their car is failing to download any updates and will be stuck until they can get into service(this has been a documented issue in the past).
I'm at 2018.28.5. I was advised by people on this thread that my software version is very old and that my car may have stopped receiving updates...
Barring trying again, you could try restarting the car, if you haven't tried that. Under controls, there’s a screen that has a button saying something like “Power off”. Press that and shut everything down. Wait about 5 minutes and then press the brake.
Not that it helps you anything, but this is not true. Tesla can (and do sometimes) remotely push updates. I've requested a firmware update at a Service Center to resolve phantom brakes, and although they did mention "consider this an exception", they did push the new firmware.
The service invoice (EUR 0,-) also stated that it is a one-time service. In other words 'Don't every ask us again'. In my case this was an actual safety issue and the issue was resolved with the update, so I suppose that is why they made an exception. Also, I was at the SeC for other reasons as well, so I didn't come in just to get the update.
What you can do is drive up to a service center and park the car. Make sure the car is connected to Tesla's SeC wifi and go for a walk. Car's connected to Tesla's WiFi seem to trigger an update more often than not.

I am one that advised you to call. But you should not ask them to push it to your car. Assuming that is what you ask them to do. I would ask them to check my logs to determine if there is a problem with my car receiving updates. Not sure how close you are to a service center or ranger but that might be needed. If you just ask for the new firmware you will get the reply you got.
I didn't ask them to push it to my car, just asked for their opinion on if I have an issue. The representative said there's no issue and bought up the fact that they can't push it... I did ask about checking logs and I was advised that there is no issue...
