Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

[SageBrush]

While we wait ... a math question for those who still remember probability:

What is the likelihood, given the subscribed Model 3 and S/X on TeslaFi, that the current number of Model 3 and S/X updated is random ?

 

[TT97]

Hardly. Figure 10% overhead for bit checking, so best case 28 seconds. I'd make him wait, too.

You also have to take into account I somehow have 25 devices connected to my WiFi so that would slow it down further but I did set my Model 3 as a priority device. (And yes, I was joking about the slow connection)

Starting a general discussion thread for this version. So version 9 is finally being pushed to the fleet, currently version 2018.39.5.

Some additional official info from Tesla can be found here:
Discover Software Version 9.0

And here:
Introducing Software Version 9.0

Anxiously awaiting my update!!! I really wish we had the ability to force our cars to check for an update.

Any word on when everyone will get it? My 3 doesn't have it yet and it's whining at me.

4.72% for Model 3 (based on a 99% confidence level).

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

yes, so am I. I haven't even been notified. Got bug fix and then nada.

Alright, a quick update. Some observations from a very brief drive from today:

- the dash cam button is actually in the upper right quadrant of the screen - next to HomeLink. VERY easy to accidentally hit the save button when trying to access your HomeLink

- the energy use graph (main left screen) has reordered the trip stats. The top is stats since last drive, next is since last charge, and the last two are Trip A and Trip B - wayyyy better than the reverse which was in last version

- my web browser doesn’t load any pages - just a blank screen no matter what URL - it worked before just after the update but now it doesn’t load any pages. Perhaps I need to do a reboot (haven’t since I owned the car)


And here’s the “360” blind spot monitoring. Note that I don’t have EAP or FSD.

Two things about the above:
1. There’s no audible alert when the red line appears - I wish there was as I’m not always staring at this rendering
2. In left hand turns, I’ve notice it renders vehicles in the oncoming lane as driving through me - kind of a weird bug

Thanks. I'm actually excited about the energy card - the first thing I always do is scroll down so that current drive and since charge show - nice that those are on top now.

Please tell me the update doesnt reset your energy usage stats... i want to keep my lifetime usage info

I was worried about that too - but thankfully it doesn’t!

I’m confused on what you are saying? There have been zero installs of 39.5 today and hundreds of 39.6 on Model S and X without one single model 3.

Just looking at data, it’s clear nothing is rolling to 3s widely.

Read the post I quoted above.

There are folks who have received the update for the Model 3. Just because TeslaFi says there are no installs, it doesn't mean it's the gospel truth.

Lol. I’m fully aware. And no one got 39.5 today.

Then why the "confused" reply by you?

 

[Kcharwood]

Then why the "confused" reply by you?

You made a passive aggressive comment about me relying on teslafi data, yet their data along with this thread and other forums all confirm that no model 3s are getting the latest update. Not really sure what point you are trying to make.

 

[TT97]

Then why the "confused" reply by you?

I confused as well, I looked back through the thread for all the posts today and didn't find anyone saying they got 39.6 on the 3. There are a few 39.5 from yesterday but 39.5 is no longer being pushed out.

I'd be thrilled with even 1 confirmation of 39.6.

Just driving home from a friend in Brooklyn and the software update came up on my screen.
Set the download for 2am (EST). I have a Model 3 AWD. Excited to wake up to the changes.

Don't think Model 3 owners will be able to help with that question

MCU1 owner: It is definitely more responsive overall but it's hard to tell why. Actually the biggest improvement is getting rid of the slide-up/slide-down disappearing nav bar that 8.0 introduced -- that animation was always ridiculously slow on MCU1 but it was the thing you needed to do to launch another app.

It won't make your MCU1 feel like a MCU2 but definitely more improvement compared to that overrated update that was supposed to improve responsiveness.

Well at this point I don’t expect an update for my 3 until Monday at the earliest. Unless Tesla is actively working on getting it pushed out to 3’s on a Sunday, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

 

[Qwerty12]

Agreed. They’re still working out the bugs, doubt you’ll get it by next weekend either.
