Software Update 2018.48.x

[OPRCE]

On my Model 3 if I tap the speed limit indicator on the nav the autopilot set speed will change to that speed + my chosen max delta. Does Model S do this? Might be easier than manipulating the physical control.

I believe holding the AP stalk up for about 1.5 sec accomplishes this same function in Model S with 48.1

Upgraded from 46.2 to 48.1: cars in the display definitely not jumping around anymore. They now move like on tracks. Looks great!

Ok, I can see that as well in the APP now, and firmware version is showing 2018.48 in the APP, but the status is still "Software Update In Progress" for well over an hour. This is unusual as most updates have taken ~30 minutes for me. Not sure what's up.

I'm also seeing a long update time. This is on a Model 2017 Model S with MCU1. How long did the update take to eventually finish? Mine seems to have been going for about an hour and a half...

Update:
Getting in the car there was a dialog box saying "Update complete checking systems" or something like that. Once I dismissed it everything looks normal.

Took right at 42 minutes for mine to complete

Regarding the long update time:
Started the update at about 11pm from the app and next morning the app was still saying "update in progress" while showing a new version (48.1). Went to the car and found there was a message something like "update complete. Verifying installation" (not exact wording) with an OK button. Pressed OK and no problems found after. Never seen this message before.

Both 2018.48 and 48.1 took around 30 minutes for me. I upgraded from 42.2 to .48 in 30 minutes.

Thanks. This is exactly what I found.

46.x was slated to fix the issue where if you lose LTE connection for awhile (e.g., parking in an underground garage) that it'll reconnect when it can. Previously, it seemed that it wouldn't reconnect until you rebooted using the scroll wheels, or parked where there was signal allowing it to go to sleep.

This is now fixed as of 48.1.

My update to 48.1 is complete but my app says still in progress. Car seems fine.

That same update issue reported by others happened to me for over 24hr until after I charged my vehicle. I keep my car on energy saver mode, idk if that’s related. I also activated update from my phone notification and this happened to me on 2018.48.0.

I updated my car from the app Friday night. I tapped the notification and it asked me to confirm, then it gave me two minutes to cancel the update like you’d expect. Unfortunately each time I’ve gotten into the car the next day, it said it was validating the update or something. I’m able to close this out but the app has also shown the status as an update in progress (until I plugged in the car). I haven’t checked on it since.

Good thing to hear. Even long semis without splitting into two while you pass?

@verygreen did you had the chance to check if with 48.1 cars are now tracked arround the car by AP (one static ID) or if this is a UI tweak?

I'm on 2018.48.1 and the right side of my display still shows jumping cars and splitting semis. The left seems more stable but I still get to see cars jump every once in a while. And because semis are not usually on my left side, I really can't tell if it is actually much better than the right.

I'm on 48.1 and seeing plenty of hopping. Even worse, I see oncoming traffic pop up on the IC more often now.

I definitely see semi splits but it seems to render the tractor and trailer as 2 until you pass.

Oh yeah! I'm seeing a lot of that too!

Just did this two days ago and st least for me, reboots didn’t help on return to the US. But later in the day about six hours after crossing it returned. May be a coincidence but was after a deep sleep.

It would until Tesla determines where the car is in its back end systems. Theory is that this is done once a day or when the MCU is rebooted. Folks who have crossed the border in one direction or the other have reported getting NOA in the US and typically for a day in Canada or unless a reboot takes place.

I took my normal Saturday route today and noticed a more frequent nag with beeping noise in the section of road that is missing clear lane markers. Prior versions didn't do this. It seems they might have increased the nag multiplier when AP is less confident of lane lines.

I also got to test NOA and I really like how the new feature to move out of the fast lane works. That said, on another occasion it prompted me to pass a slow car and I gave it the go ahead and it went and then abruptly canceled the lane change for no reason that I could see. If the lane change is deemed safe it needs to commit, the darting out and back into the lane makes you look like an idiot and can be dangerous if other cars are closing the gap.

The official explanation in the manual is that *halfway* out of the lane, it must see the other end of the new lane confidently. If not, it will abort.

But yeah, indeed, this is *precisely* the kind of behavior that leads to so many self-driving prototypes in California getting rear ended or side swiping other cars, with the blame always pinned on the other human driver for "not leaving a safe distance". Humans almost never abort lane changes.

I went from 42.2 to 48.1 and noticed an improvement in AP, especially on windy roads with crests. Freeway also seems smoother and more natural. This updated fixed my inability to calibrate new cameras for Nav on AP. Very good release IMO.
