Software updates in Australia

[nzfatmatt]

Has anyone ever seen a 30 km/hr zone in Australia? I am not sure they exist. It generally is 25 or 40. This article calls for a 30 zone No Cookies | Herald Sun . Perhaps we need to lobby against 30 zones and just get Tesla to tell the computer that we don't have 30 zones in Australia so must be 80.

What's your speed for road works? In NZ roadworks are 30 and it's also that through busy suburban areas with shops etc.

Roadworks are 40km/hr, suburban streets are 50 unless indicated, shopping strips are often 40. Nothing in Victoria at least is 30

I have seen proper, full time 30 zones in Noosa and Surfers Paradise - oh, and they were read by the car correctly as 30, not 80

10 and 20 have been read. 10 as tram speed, 20 as a private property speed sign. The sensor (camera) detects the image and it is matched with data base and posts on drivers screen. I would imagine if the what has been sensed is unclear it posts what is closest within a tolerance or if it is unclear it does not post eg: a tree branch in front of the sign.

If it has doubts as to a clear reading, then (and only then) it reverts to the GPS database.

Interestingly, it isn't reading 40 school signs for me on latest update.

Yes I noticed 5 too today for the first time parking underground at The Observatory. Ironic that nothing else works underground...no app, no Summon, no Spotify, no Netflix lol

With all that technology you have to wonder why an update can't be started from the phone.

I agree Paul... as it turned out I was able to talk my wife through accepting/installing the update so it will be waiting for me to try out as soon as I get home, but as I was talking her thoough it, that thought certainly occurred to me too.

You left your wife with your keys? Brave man....

Don't look too forward to it, needs a lot of connectivity reliability added in the next update.

To initiate the install from the mobile app would require minimum connectivity. The update is downloaded by the car, all the app has to do is send a message to the car to commence installing it.

 

[Dborn]

Paul is referring to the update itself. Not the process. That is, the new functionality.

So we have reports that Tesla can read 5km/hr, 10, 20 etc. (we know it has problems distinguishing 30 and 80). Yesterday it read a 15 km/hr sign in a car park on at least 2 occasions. Why then does it stubbornly refuse to read 25?
