Software Update 2019.8.x

[trinhvc]

For those who got this version, can you test try the blind spot chime? This is what I've been looking forward to.

I got it. Works fine. Are you looking for anything in particular?

 

[CRASHER]

I had software update available this morning. I decided to hold, and now it is not available. Still on 2018.50.6

you should have installed it right way. I'm guessing they found a bug or two, pulled it and will release a newer version for testing.

It's supposed to live on Friday, so they still have a few days more for testing.

How does it work, exactly? Mine is on but I almost never hear any chime? Does it only work with Auto Pilot and with a turn signal on, if a car is in a blindspot, you get a chime? I was under the impression the chime only occur with a possible collision is detected, not so much a car is in a blindspot and it chimes?

It does not occur just when signaling and adjacent cars turn red. You have to be moving across the line to the extent the sensors believe contact is possible, at which point the chime provides an extra alert. The chime occurs regardless of whether AP is active or not.

I did not hear any chime either. I drove with AP and with Navigate on AP. I never heard any chime. That is probably good because I never went too close to the other car or in that car's lane. Also, it shows the cars in Red when the other cars are in the blind spots. Again. this is noted by the cameras and/or sensors when you are at least on TACC. Because, I may have seen Red cars during my driving at the rush hour when AP was not engaged. When I was on local traffic and on AP i may have seen Red cars. However, when neither TACC nor AP is activated I don't remember seeing Red cars alerting me the cars in the blind spot on local roads. I have seen that ICE cars with blind spot monitoring will alert you or gives cues if another car is in blind spot. This is just my observation driving once this afternoon. Possible that I missed something. I will try again.

They only turn Red (on AP or not) when you activate turn signal.

I have 2019.8.1. No sentry mode. 2018 100D

WE need more than just your Model S 100D. Which MCU and which AP hardware do you have? That's the limiting factor for Sentry Mode3.

 

[Chaz]

I just got 5.16 this morning and it has dog mode, but no sentry mode.
2018 Model S AP2.5

Mate, he said 2018 model s. That's basically mcu 2, ap2.5 eyes closed. Regardless, it seems sentry mode will be a lot later for S and x models.

 

[OPRCE]

Mate, he said 2018 model s. That's mcu 2, ap2.5 without a doubt.

It's AP2.5 alright but MCU2 started with vehicle build-date around 22 March 2018.

 

[AustinP]

I'm over 4 hours round trip from a service center, so I generally get mobile service only if things crop up.

No need to go to the SC. Staging means they push it to your car specifically.
Just a phone call away.

2019.8.1 7ee0493 just popped up on TeslaFi.com on Model 3 AP2.5
Someone here on the forum?

and popped up today on TeslaFi.com on Model S 100D with AP2.5 in Europe

Ok. October build. Paid for fsd and eap

No, I found it rather slow and annoying!

When you overtaking a truck and are more than save to move back to the other lane (in front of the truck) it will beep and show a red truck in the cockpit. When I overtake a truck or a car the visual effect in the cockpit is alway 2-3 seconds behind if you understand what I mean.

The chime works when AP or NoA is not engaged, when you drive manually and signal the lane change and there is car in the adjacent lane. Here is a video from someone:

Thanks for the sharing the video. The Blind Spot seems different for the S. Mine shows "Blind Spot Collision Warning Chime" whereas the 3 just shows "Blind Spot Warning Chime." Not sure if both are the same. The additional info (I) just describes that sound will chime when a potential collision is detected. I'll have to play around with it more to see if I can get it to make the audible sound but so far, haven't been able to.

Mine is an S and I also don't here the chime unless I go extremely close to the other car on the adjacent lane which i have not done.

Not all 2018 have MCU/2. As stated above, it was around March 2018 when MCU/2 came out.

Also note, that Sentry mode needs to have a USB to be activated according to Elon's tweet that I published above. While not necessarily written into the Model S and Model X Release Notes, if you have AP2.5 and MCU/2, you should be able to plug in the USB and see the option appear.

I haven't seen any confirmation with 2019.8.x that Sentry mode is available for MCU/1 regardless if you have AP2 or AP2.5.

I guess we'll find out tomorrow once 20918.8.x starts rolling out beyond Early Access Participants.
