software update 2022.16.1.1

[sTuKat]

Update says, "
Your vehicle can now automatically apply regular brakes for consistent deceleration when regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge. To enable, tap Controls > Pedals & Steering > Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking Is Limited.

I do not see this as a new option? Anyone have it?

I guess the key word here is "automatically". I have not heard of this yet, so I am just guessing. Does that mean when you are going downhill that the car will no longer coast like a regular car if you don't have regen? I don't understand why this is something I would want.

 

[BigNick]

Yes, it's new for 2022.16.1.1.

No.

When regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge (ex: 100%).

I'm on 16.1.1 for over a week and the changelog of our car doen't show this particular update. So I guess Tesla didn't include this portion.

I don't think you understood my question, or perhaps I did not state it in a clear way. I know that regen is limited with very high soc. What I am asking is if anyone sees that the car is applying the brakes while going down a steep hill when your foot comes off the accelerator? Is that what this so called new feature does?

This is to prevent people who lost the reflex to press the brake pedal from flying off the road when regen brakes are momentarily disabled (say due to the loss of traction on gravel/ice/bumps)

It's only available for "select" 3 and Y. I was rather disappointed my Dec 2018 didn't have the feature.

I think it is perfectly rational to expect roughly the same feedback during braking. For those of us in cold climates there is the - "oh yeah, the battery is cold I'm not slowing down as much as I usually do after lifting off the throttle moment" better press the brake harder.

I drove a manual transmission for 30 years. It's not like I don't understand engine braking. But 3rd gear at a given speed always resulted in the same rate of deceleration regardless of the outside temperature or amount of fuel in the tank,

Once again the car was developed in CA and it shows.

I just downloaded 16.1.1 today...and also can’t find the switch to turn it on....on 2022.16.1 Official Tesla Release Notes - Software Updates
it says ‘on specific hardware only’...my car is a MIC M3LR 2021...perhaps I also don’t have the right hardware

 

[Gauss Guzzler]

Yeah my car didn’t get the feature either, nor was it listed in the release notes. Good to know that it’s likely coming soon though.

I really like and appreciate how Tesla has kept regen and friction brake controls separate. I like having distinct controls for distinct systems, and if that means I need to adjust my inputs for the conditions instead of the car trying to hide what's going on, that's totally fine.

I'm also a Luddite who hates automatic transmissions and only ever owned manual cars before our single-speed Teslas, so take my preferences as you will.

I know other EVs offer blended one-pedal driving these days, in addition to blended brake pedals, and clearly many people prefer a driving experience that's as simple for the driver as possible. It makes perfect sense for Tesla to offer this as an option! Just please don't force blended braking on me.

Me too! My first car had a slushbox and I hated it. Never had another one until the Tesla.

@Timbo2 Your Tesla is not a slushbox! It's a single speed, there is no torque converter or any other means of changing between gears.

I need the fix the sentry/dashcam drive unmounting issue. It’s really frustrating.

 

[Snowball316]

updated to software 2022.16.1.1 so far no issue with dash cam

 

[GtiMart]

Updated yesterday and I don't see this option either... early 2020 LR AWD Model 3.

 

[Apprunner]

updated to software 2022.16.1.1 so far no issue with dash cam

Yeah...me too. Hopefully its fixed now.

It's so that your go-pedal behaves the same whether the battery is 100% or cold vs. normal. I.e., in times that you would normally get regen braking, but the system is unable to use regen, it will apply brakes for you so the it reacts/feels the same.

What they are solving is 99% of the time you expect that you get some braking when you lift your foot off the accelerator, this can be dangerous for the 1 time you get in the car and the battery is 100% charged and you lift your foot and get zero braking. So they are giving the option to have the car use friction brakes to make up the difference so you get the same behavior all the time.

Got 2022.16.1.1 last night. Drove today, no option for the regen/mechanical brake blend.

2022 M3P 11/2021 build with Atom MCU and no FSD.

Just got pushed 2022.16.1.2 about an hour ago, but haven’t driven yet.

Got both and I don't see anywhere option and neither in the changelog
