Ask them to send you an update

You don't have to wait. You will receive a notification about a new update maybe an hour or 2 later after you leave SC. Then you can install it anytime you prefer

Can you persuade Elon to extend this feature up the rest seats as well? App access would be great too... Thanks.

Very few would want this automatic because you don't take the kids everywhere everyday. Perhaps tho some smarts and if it detects the rear kids/passengers when the car starts (foot on brake) and automatically turns them on to the last setting.

And adding to app seems obvious.

that my S doesn’t have heated steering wheel. The loaner Cadillac I got when I dropped off my Tesla to the SC had this feature and it was very nice. It would save me some battery range since I sometimes just turn the heater on to warm my hands.

I guess I'm one of the few that would prefer persistent settings. My wife sits back there with my kids. So they would really like that and its really distracting or annoying to access the cold weather menu while driving. App would ameliorate the issue as the back passengers could use the app and they could be pre-heated like the cabin.

Can I warm my steering wheel before going in from the app?

Not yet. Control of the seats and wheel from the app has been a frequent request, and it's only a firmware update away - when Tesla has a little time for something besides Autopilot.

Will be interesting if any of the AP features have been improved (esp. auto lane change and auto wipers)

nope, NN is the same

nope, NN is the same

And, here I thought we lost that feature with the demise of verygreen from our rankings.

I'm pretty sure it will come. Elon tweeted about adding features to the app 5-6 weeks ago (when he went all bonanza with feature requests on Twitter).

If this changes, can you get in touch with @jimmy_d so that we can get his (I presume gender, sorry if wrong) opinion and analysis? I find it fascinating there is someone else who can obtain this information...I hate to have you reveal more but I'm curious.

The persistent heated steering wheel will be nice. I use it on almost every drive during the winter here. I was hoping for a dedicated button beside the climate controls (there should be room for it beside the "Auto" button) but maybe this will be less necessary if it just stays on. It can sometimes take 4 taps to turn it on (Settings/Cold Weather/Steering Wheel button/Settings again) which is really distracting while driving.

I just returned from the service center today. They did not know about 2018.4.1. The service advisor told me that he could only push an update which showed up as selectable on his system, and 2018.2 was the latest showing (he showed me his screen).

I got 2018.4.1 this morning (was available last night) and I came from 50.3.

So far the steering wheel change is nice. AP2 seems refined a little more (I thought it was fine before), and the auto lane change seems more confident. Otherwise, no other noticeable changes. Update took about 35 minutes.

That's strange. I went to SC today here at Devon PA and requested the latest service update that came out this week. They acknowledged it and after installing the update, I was able to verify that was 2018.4.1. So glad to have the heated steering wheel stay on now!

Just got 2018.4.1, coming from 2017.50.3. And just in time for a 300mi drive tomorrow. We'll see if AP2 is improved.

Sorry to disappoint but it was @verygreen conclusion on the release

Looking at the TeslaFi stats, this release hasn’t turned up on any HW 2.5 cars so far. So it would appear it hasn’t been approved for these vehicles yet.

No change in autosteer on Highway curves, still hugs the outer lane markings

 

[luckyj]

Two spontaneous MCU reboots in two hours of highway driving with this version. Been a long time since that's happened to me. Just stopped to charge and will do a hard reboot before getting back on the road.
