Software Updates and AP1

[evalst2018]

You get that notification that a new software update is available. Eagerly you press the button in anticipation of what could possibly be coming. Software starts downloading...you wait for the install...you go into your Ap1 car and you see.....

absolutely nothing.

This has been my experience over the last 4-7 updates. I would rather Tesla just stop updating my car, as I see basically no improvement, just a reminder that I should buy a new car.

AP1 car here...

Got in the car this morning to see there were improved battery diagnostic capabilities.

Not sure how you didn't see that to be a GREAT feature to potentially see issues earlier.

Just got the new software notification after my post

How do you see that? can you share screenshot please?

Not at the car, but IIRC there's 2 ways to see the release notes
-Click the T on top, click the software version and then release notes
-Click the Car icon on the bottom right, click software (last one I think?) and then click on release notes.

Got the latest update...as usual see nothing new. Release notes blank as always. 2019.40.2.3

Got the latest update...as usual see nothing new. Release notes blank as always. 2019.50.2.3

50.2.3? or 40.2.3? I just got 40.2.3 yesterday.

Got my update yesterday. Initially the notes window was blank. But I closed it and then went back into the release notes and showed improved Battery degradation detection or something like that.

Screenshot shared in this thread over here:
2019.40.2.3 for AP1 cars

 

[evalst2018]

So no end user functional value. More data for Tesla to deny degradation claims on batteries.

40.2.3 yesterday. Ditto. Improved diagnostics for the high voltage battery. Minor bug fixes and improvements - the usual, but that was on screen at the conclusion of install. What is annoying is that, as far as I know, the eye Q3 chip in our cars has not had its full potential unlocked. I understand that it may well be capable of red light recognition for instance. I am prepared to be corrected or disillusioned by someone who knows in detail, but that is my current belief.

AP1 using the Mobile Eye solution has been EOL when AP2 came out. Elon mentioned it when many asked for an upgrade from AP1 to AP2. Even the past few days, someone ask him as well, and he indicated that it’s OG technology.

Technically, while AP1 using Mobile Eye can be a lot more than it does today. Elon won’t be making any improvements to it.

tesla wont update my 4+ year old car. woe is me.

 

[evalst2018]

dude you missed the point. Car is 3 yrs old...
the point is being notified when there is no real update. Better if Tesla bifocated the source code between Ap1 and Ap2+, that way you wouldn’t be nagged for pointless updates that offer no value.

My 2017 gets very few new features now, I wouldn't say 2 years is old.
But I have been burnt before too many times, I continue to click no to the update installs. My MCU is stable at the moment so there's no point adding new bugs to the system when there is little in the way of new functions for 'old' cars.

My 2019 volt hasn’t changed since I drove it off the lot....

 

[evalst2018]

Who cares...this is a Tesla forum.

You are so very lucky if you're on V8! Just curious what version that's stuck on, and how you managed it.

Just like the new tesla owners who don’t care you didn’t get your software update?

Just because nothing visible or feature-wise has changed doesn’t mean you’re not receiving any value and they should stop updating the cars so as not to “nag” you. That’s just stupid.

At least 50% of the updates that go to ALL cars have no visible changes, just “bug fixes and updates”.

 

[evalst2018]

You really believe that? 90% new features 10% bug fixes. Really tired of all the fanboys complaining about other fanboys complaining.
