Software Version 2018.50.6 - No new features

[Tezla1]

I just received a notification that there's an update available and it will require 45 mins to install.

I giddily tapped at my phone in excitement and happy agreed, even nodding my head, as I clicked "yes" when it asked me to "install now?"

Now, it shows " software update in progress" on my Tesla app and I'm kind of excited to see what new features it will have when I drive my car in a few hours.

(please tell me there's new features....)

Just got notified there’s an update for my car as well. Not sure what version this is and would kind of like to know first but started the update. Been on 2018.48.12.1.

 

[aSlowOldGUy]

Just got it too. 2018.50.6. Nothing new in the release notes: Cold Weather Improvements, Keep Climate On, Romance, Yadda Yadda.

 

[Sneakerhead]

Same update took less than 10 minutes

 

[SMAlset]

Completed. Version 2018.50.6

Anyone figure out any immediate updates? I'm updating now too.
I do love how AP and NOAP get pretty major improvements even with small updates

No new obvious functionality, but likely things for cold weather and bug fixes. AP and NOAP are probably also improved since it's been ~1 month since the last update went out to the entire fleet and this seems like it's going to everyone.

 

[Knightshade]

Yup, 50.6 here too (after being on 48.12)

Bug fixes. Nothing obvious. Looks like it’s going pretty wide. Lots of cold weather issues recently. And some charge port issues, likely related to weather. Hopefully those are addressed.

 

[aspec818]

just got this as well. I'll take any bug fixes I can get for the 3.

 

[sduck]

Looks like they sent this out to a ton of folks tonight. Also got it. Remember it's good practice to do a reboot before using it - gets the gremlins out of the system.

 

[RocketPack]

Just received one also. Reboot by holding both steering wheel buttons down?

I didn't get this one today. I got 2018.49.20 today instead. So strange, especially how popular 50 seems to be now.

I got 2018.50.5 and have noticed the power button on the HVAC control doesn't work. It just minimizes the HVAC controls and doesn't turn the HVAC off.

Also now when I override lane assist it sets the max TACC speed to my current speed instead of it staying at the setting it was at.

So for the first time I am disappointed in an update as this is the first time I don't like the updates. Hopefully Tesla views these as bugs and will fix them soon vs this is how they think it should work and it isn't a bug.

50.6 here...was PIN to drive on the last release? I don't recall.

Been there for a while. I'm not a huge fan, but I can see why they did it. It could end up a surprise to force change lanes and have the car rapidly accelerate especially if someone is pulling into a turn lame.

Instead, every time I move over to let a motorcycle pass me more cleanly during my commute, I now have to take extra steps to not obstruct traffic once the speed picks up again.

Or if I override one of the all-too-common autopilot lane change failures, I have to remember to mash the throttle if needed.

It's a terrible change and they should feel terrible.

PIN to drive

50.6 here...was PIN to drive on the last release? I don't recall.

PIN to drive was a couple releases ago.

 

[Mahi-Mahi]

Just got mine done. Took 20mins. Updated to 50.6. No obvious changes but haven’t driven it yet. Sduck: thanks for the tip on rebooting. Seems like a sensible thing to do.

I can see why they would make the TACC change, too many fools thinking the car is “randomly accelerating”. Probably helps keep Tesla out of the news.

Sucks for us power users of course, hopefully they can bring it back as an option.
