Software Update 2019.12.x

[Mike Robinson]

Got 2019.12 last night. Everything seems to be working fine except for TeslaWaze. I assume the web browser was updated and is now incompatible with TeslaWaze. Sure hoe that gets corrected. I use Waze a lot!

UPDATE: after a couple days, Waze started working again! Not sure why the delay after update, but thankful I’ve got Waze again

I'd always ask for the latest firmware. Especially if you have AP2. If you're AP1 then it's less compelling unless you really want dog mode.

It's AP1 but more importantly I don't want to not have launch mode. I think it's best to wait until they get the bug fixed.

For those having NoA in Europe, which version of map is installed ?
Since I got firmware 2019.12, the version of the map installed is : EU-2018.42-1729

Same. I've also noticed that quite often the car in adjacent lane becomes the trace car (mostly when there is no substitute ahead my me). I do understand the awareness of the cars joining from the on-ramp, but this should not be happening when I am just traveling in the regular traffic lane. Constant micro adjustments of speed or phantom braking takes the fun away from using either TACC or AP.

It is on 8.5 by the way.

I agree whole heartedly. I know LA traffic is a challenge for AP also, but the DFW area is very dense and has huge freeway changes and overpasses lots of construction and NoA doesn’t seem to do so well here. I think this is why some people say it works fine for them and others not so much.
Very different driving styles and city’s make a hug difference IMO to the experience.
Just my thoughts

Nobody has NoA on a model S in Europe.

... it has been hard enough keeping up with the construction changes there as a human driver, so I'm cutting the AP some slack on this one in the DFW area.

Nav on Autopilot? Model 3?

NOA isn't available in the whole of EU for the 3 and we weren't discussing Model 3 but Model S here so what is a UK Model S owner missing out on compared to other Europeans.

Do you happen to know maps signature ?

Using the "software" menu item in the configuration of the car.
You got the actual firmware version and the map ID installed.

It’s actually available on the Model 3 in Germany.

We were actually discussing what Tesla features the UK market is missing out on compared to the US to start with, but oh well. Lol.

Looks like 12.1 started rolling out today to M3s.

I'm pretty happy with 8.5 but would like Sentry Mode.

Installed 2019.12 on my 2018 MCU2 Model S 100D last week (4/18/19) in the U.S.
Here’s the Map Version info:

 

[alexdav]

It’s hitting on the S and X, too, it looks like. I just got it on my X.

It has the new browser (Chromium 73) and can supercharge up to 150 kW.

 

[Silent Ludicrosy]

Just got 12.1 also.

Anyone know download size? I just downloaded 399mb of something.

 

[dgatwood]

I was in the first batch that got .12. I am definitely not an early access member... in fact I'm usually towards the tail end of updates. This one definitely was my lucky one. I've got an MCU1 and AP2. Faux Sentry Mode, no Advanced Summon, and it DOES have NoA w/o confirmation. I've had it for a couple of weeks and it's been great. Zero complaints.

Does your web browser work?

 

[dgatwood]

This. MCU1 just isn't powerful enough to handle V9.

Its Geekbench 3 scores are as fast as a 2011 MacBook Pro, which runs every version of macOS except the latest, runs modern web browsers like Chrome and Firefox easily, etc. It is not a slow CPU by any stretch of the imagination, and all it has to do is control a few simple outboard devices over USB and, if enabled, stream camera footage to a flash drive. Tesla ought to be able to handle that easily on circa 2000 hardware, forget circa-2011 hardware.

The problem is not that the chip is slow. The problem is that Tesla:

• is either not gathering proper metrics, or is not doing proper analysis of those metrics before rolling out updates, or both,
• is not doing proper automated testing, and
• is not doing proper manual QA testing.

Period. It's time that folks quit blaming the hardware and put the blame squarely where it belongs — on incompetent engineering managers who are more concerned about hitting arbitrary deadlines and release cadence bulls**t than on shipping an actual quality release.

Woohoo I just got it

Nearly 900mb downlod

enhanced summon?
