Tesla Software 2019.16.2

[ibGeek]

Just got done with a longer drive and I did have a couple issues. One was a bit scary. I think I might know what's going on (at least for my issues) though...

I have not had any issues where either flavor of lane departure has triggered, and I was on everything from highways to very VERY unimproved roads as well as everything in between. So that issue does not seem to be one I am having. This after about 400 miles.

What I did have were 3 instances where the car in front of me turned red and my Model 3 braked. All 3 of these instances were more the display of a warning, beeping and in one case, some light breaking.

Then there was one instance where I was doing 70 miles per hour on the freeway and there was zero warning or notification before heavy breaking. This one scared me. Other than getting flipped off by the guy behind me, we all got away with it, but yikes, that's never happened before. In every case, I had AP on in one form or another (never nav on autopilot).

What I noticed about all of the collision incidents was that in each case the car in front of me was either tailgating someone or in one case the car in front of me was towing a small car sized trailer. So I think my car thought it was a car being tailgated. This leads me to believe that the new software is "predicting" a collision where one is not going to occur.

My collision alerts are set to "Medium".

Hope this is helpful to someone. I did file a service report on my experiences.

I still haven't received this update. Have they stopped the roll out?

I've seen a couple installs today but not many. It might be in your best interest not to get this one. There's a 2019.16.3.2 that has about 115 installs today but not sure if it is a fix or not. You can track firmware installs (fairly accurately here: TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker) (for those who don't know)

I’m on 2019.16.2 and had an earlier-than-usual and VERY sudden auto emergency braking (AEB) situation earlier today.
On city roads, following a car through stop signs, i kept rolling slowly forward in anticipation that the stopped car in front of me would start moving forward (which it did), my car freaked out and braked suddenly - enough to squeal the tires.
I could not even start moving forward again until several seconds later.

I’ve never seen this on prior releases and my driving has definitely not changed recently.
Also, I have forward collision warning set to Late, but not sure that matters for this type of AEB scenario.

My car on this software has now stopped seeming lane markings and won’t let me activate cruise or AP at all!! Arghh

Try rebooting, that has helped others. It's a good idea to reboot after each update anyways. If you've done that, then I'd recommend you contact service and let them know.

I’ve tried multiple reboots... looks like time to contact service.

Let us know how that goes. I'm spoiled because I live 20 mins away from the Fremont plant. So my experiences have been great but I doubt that I get a baseline experience.

Have you tried doing a hard reboot?

There is a specific reboot process that Tesla recommends.

1. Turn off the auto sentry mode
2. Depress both scroll-wheels until the Tesla T shows on your screen.
3. Go to the setting that shuts down your car completely...wait 3 minutes
4. Open up car door to turn car back on. ( Do not depress brake pedal)

If this does not resolve your issue, call Tesla service.

No guarantee, but:
PSA: no lane visualization, GPS stops updating: fixed

This is a cross post but given all the help everyone offered I wanted to post an update here:

No lane or vehicle visualizations and no AP. Tried every reboot many times, finally scheduled a service center visit for next week earlier today. Within hours the SC emailed me asking me about time/date it started being symptomatic. They pulled the logs and sent me the newest update 16.3.2 and all problems appear resolved! I was impressed with the efficiency.

Just got an update pushed 2019.16.3.2 a19d0e4. That was a quick one! Updated the next day. Build date 5/19 HW3

I wouldn't be so sure you have HW3. Most of the May-19 cars are being shipped with HW2.5. My May-19 Model 3 is HW2.5 and I have the exact same firmware version (2019.16.3.2 a19d0e4).
