Software Update 2019.20.2.5

[Wennfred]

I would kill for any update. I'm sitting on 2019.7.107 since taking delivery three weeks ago. Home delivery if that changes anything.

Turn off “Keep Climate On” with this on, you wont be able to up date. Put the car in Park, press the Fan icon and you will see it on the display.

This thread is about 2019.20.2.5. Can anyone provide actual info about what’s in this update?

Yes, BeachBuggy Racing 2 is added, but this game is different. It's not an Atari game. It's a port from iOS & Android. It does a few cool things specific to Tesla and a new thing:

You used to access the games by hitting the T and go to Arcade. Now, you can slide up the controls and you'll see 2 new items - Toybox & Arcade:

When you launch the game (and go past the legal screens), it turns off the center console on Model S.
Then it scoots your seat to Driving position, if you have the Easy Entry feature turned on
It gets the model and color of your car from the car's computer
It uses the steering wheel, and you can use your break to slow down the cars in the game (not the accelerator to speed it up)
After you exit the game, it scoots the seat back to Easy Entry mode and turns on the center console (Model S)

Pretty neat that the game is actually interacting with the car's computer system, rather than the Atari games which run isolated in a MAME emulator.

A few pictures of the console and the game itself.

I do not think so.

Does anyone actually play these built in games? I get that the car should be fun and it is a way to draw folks in and have something to talk about but are folks really sitting in there cars at Superchargers playing Beach Buggy? You would think they would spend those development resources on higher priority items. I would rather have them fix the dancing and spinning cars on the display then another video game.

BeachBuggy is not in 2019.20.2.5 at least not in my Model 3.

Are you on the 2019.20.4.1 ?

If you take your car to a service center, they will gladly push the latest update available for your car configuration for free.

Only if you fall behind too much. They can’t just pull new updates at will.

I've been playing 2048 while supercharging. It does help kill time pretty well for me.

I would when supercharging if I remembered to. SC is so fast for me (former Leaf owner) that it's usually about over by the time I have a bio break and am done responding to texts and emails.

Just got Beach Buggy 2 and now I have two worn out spots on my front tires.

2019.20.4.5 is probably the rev.3 enhanced summon which Elon tweeted.
