Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

[PhaseWhite]

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

The alert is such an easy thing to add it’s odd that it’s missing. There should be s setting for alert sounds or not, perhaps Tesla thought it was a Mute point with everyone using drive on Nav which got pulled.

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.

Which version did you get??

"introducing software 9.0-designed for a faster more intuitive driver experience"
Haven't gotten to my car yet.

That’s in your inbox, right? We all got that message, even before they pushed it.

I see. Well, i got the message to upload the software on my computer screen in the car and then on my phone it said software successfully loaded. I will know more when i get to my car.

Awesome. You can also check by looking at the bottom of the mobile app, where your vin and mileage are at.

Not all of us. I have yet to get a message or an email from Tesla re: v9.

Interesting. I got the emails and inbox message Friday night.

Yeah isn’t is odd I didn’t receive them when it seems like most people did. Hopefully doesn’t mean I’m really far down the list for a SW push.

Do you have the latest app (3.6)? There is an inbox in the app - it's a little hidden, so not obvious. There are 2 messages in the inbox - one stating there is now an inbox and the 2nd about v9.

Yes I’m on 3.6. Only one message for me.

I received two emails Friday, a minute apart. One is for the ModelS and the other for a Model3.
The information is slightly different. I don’t own a ModelS. Still waiting on V9

Sorry to get everyone excited. Don’t know what that software update was but I dont see any major changes to my screen. Is there anyway to see what the last update was for my car?
I read you need to be in WiFi. Only thing is I’m not
certain about that and have to leave car and go to
work. Oh well, have to see about all this later.

Go into the Tesla App and scroll to the bottom. It will show your current SW version.

FWIW I too didn't get any email about v9, neither email nor app (3.6) inbox.

 

[chinnam3]

I got the email about this update two days ago (Oct 5th). My car is connected to wifi, but nothing updated so far. My mobile app has been updated a while ago and has message in the inbox about this v9 update which came on Oct 5th too.

Not sure why there is still a delay.

Checked TeslaFi and a 3 in Texas just had their software rolled back from 39.6 to 36.2.

Not a good sign for us 3's, wondering if the speculation that there is an issue with V9 for 3's is correct and that is why it is only going to S and X vehicles for now.

Edit: Looks like an X just had the software rolled back to 36.2 as well...hopefully it is a one off situation and not an issue with V9.

now two 3's rolled back, although neither of them showed up in the filtered list before. I've not seen 39.6 in the Model 3 list at all so far.
Also, the total number of Model 3 in their system seems to be pretty fluid. Friday it was 778-ish, yesterday I saw 802, now its 794.
Either way, there is obviously something amiss with this release on Model 3 - very sad.
I was looking forward to playing lunar lander while charging.

How can you tell someone got rolled back?

Disregard this. Forgot it shows previous version in the list. Along with location. Lol.
