Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

[whatthe2]

Just got my notification that V9 was available as I connected to WiFi. I just started the update now. Says it should take 45 minutes. Fingers crossed that nothing funky happens during this update!

I normally wait a week or two after an iOS o MacOS update so that they have time to work out any bugs. I just couldn’t wait for this one - I need that web browser and dash cam!!!

Will it show on the app that an upgrade is available? Or just in the car?

UPDATE:
As soon as “Starting update” was replaced with “Update in progress” lots of mysterious sounds began. First a loud clunk from the rear (like something had fallen on the trunk), then the lights turned on for a couple minutes, then some clicks and clacks... 38 more minutes to go... (Yes, I am sitting in my car in my garage for this update... its my first Tesla software update so I wanted the full experience )

Lucky...

It showed on my app in Notifications.

Update complete. It took just 12 minutes despite its 45 minute estimate.

Some things I’ve noticed:

- HomeLink control is now on the right side.
- Driver profile no longer centered at top - it’s also on the right side.
- Time and temperature now on the left
- WiFi/LTE and Bluetooth also moved to the right

Oh, and this:

Anyone with FSD have a screenshot of how the 360 Birdseye view looks?

You don't need FSD... or even EAP for that. It just shows the cars around your car on the car icon. Before it will only shows cars to the front of you. Now it shows cars behind you to the left and right lanes.

I don't think it is a birds-eye view like you are thinking, rather it is seeing vehicles all around in the driving display and not just in front as it is in version 8.

There’s a weird pop/crackle from the speakers when starting TeslAtari

Maybe they're trying to simulate old Atari sounds..

Can you use the same USB to record dashcam footage as well as play mp3 from it?

Looks like blindspot monitoring only applies to FSD-active vehicles, because it uses the side cameras. So much for all vehicles getting all of the basic safety features.

"To improve safety and increase confidence when changing lanes, cars with Full Self-Driving hardware will now display a red lane line when your turn signal is engaged and a car or obstacle is detected in your target lane. There is no change to the display for cars without Full Self-Driving hardware."

Edit: As many pointed out, FSD hardware most likely means AP 2(.5), not FSD software upgrade activated, so all Model 3s will hopefully get blindspot monitoring. Phew!

Finally.

Something for FSD?

Wow....it took long enough.

Ok so it’s the usual car graphic visualization. Got it.

Also shows what kind of vehicle the cameras pick up.

SUV / Car / Truck / Motorcycle / People = all different pictures on the display.

I believe I’ve read elsewhere that this is not supported but I haven’t seen any concrete confirmation. We’ll have to wait for more people to test it.

Does anyone know the internet browser will allow for video streaming? I was explaining all of the updates to the family and one asked if they could watch Netlix while on road trips. I told them I did not think so, but figured I would ask.

I’ll check when I head downstairs to the car a little later - my guess is probably not as that would be huge data usage for Tesla.

I believe in the S and X streaming video is not an option in the browser. Not sure if they’re blocking specific URLs or have somehow disabled streaming video from any site.

I wonder if streaming audio would work? Could I load the SiriusXM website and listen to music off of that?

Impatiently waiting for a glimpse of the start of the download...
