Login info is bolder and slightly larger.

Could have been primarily a security update due to this:
First Tesla Model S remotely controlled by hackers, Tesla already pushed a fix

Thank you for sharing this. I had updated when it was first offered. It's disappointing that the notes did not advise of a security fix that was included. I know providing notes in the software updates is not Tesla's thing, but that needs to change to at least advise of important things like this.

I have not done it for a while but I'm pretty sure you can create a destination to navigate to by pressing and momentarily holding your finer on the destination location on the touchscreen map.

Yes, that works in car, but I want to be able to send addresses from emails, webpages, etc to the navigation system from my phone (or computer), without having to type them again in the car.

You don't have to type them in the car. That's what voice navigation is for. "Navigate to" name of business or address, either works just as well. It's quick and in more than 3 years I've never seen it make a mistake.

I noticed the Climate pane now displays my interior temperature. It wasn't doing that before, unless I actually turned on the climate control.

That is still hit or miss. I still do not consistently get an interior temp reading before or after the updated app.

That's true, the voice recognition is awesome and picks up the destination every time. Unfortunately Nav takes me on a bad route about 40% of the time. All in all Nav is not good.

From my messing around with the API, your A/C has to be on, and then you'll see the temp in the app.

The security fix was on the car side - firmware.

This is mostly minor fixes and possibly rebuild fir iOS 10.

When I first loaded the new version of the app earlier today, it showed me the interior temperature in the climate pane right away. The car was parked and had been left alone for a while, but it was also plugged in and charging (so, likely not in energy saving mode.) Just now, I tried connecting again and this time it did not show the interior temperature. The car had to be woken from sleep, and I've never seen it display the temperature in that situation.

As @HankLloydRight said, once you turn on the climate control, the interior temperature shows up in the app.

I've found that when I first pop into the app, most of the time the interior temp is not shown. If I leave the app and do something else, but then come back to the app a few minutes later the temp will be shown then. It's like the app needs some time to get that info. (this is with climate off)

Is it so hard for Tesla to get a Profile button in the app???
And no, my wife won't use an "exit profile" nor should she in a car that cost way over $60,000.

Correct. That is the the only time it consistently works....when I turn it on. When off, it is hit or miss.

 

[brucet999]

whats changed?

What's apparently changed for me is that it can't wake the car.

And, no, Max is not parked in sleep mode, my daughter is out driving with a friend, so won't be in sleep mode.

Anyone else have problem?

 

[brucet999]

If 8.0 or 8.1 has navigation updates, maybe the new app will be able to push destinations from the phone to the new nav system

Right now, I have to make fake appointments to get a location from the phone to the car, which is silly and a bit awkward.

Silly, awkward, but a clever work-around nonetheless.

Well done.

Yes intermittent slowness. I'm guessing they are queuing up the update.

It's been a few days since the app updated and I am stunned. The app shows the temp of my car every time I check instead of sporadically.

Do you have 8.0 installed in the car?

Not sure who you are asking, but yes I installed it last night.

Not sure who you are asking, but yes I installed it last night.

Can you control any of the new Climate features in the app or is it the same as before?
