Tesla Software updates - Australia

[paulp]

yep, right under "sentry Mode" and above "Valet Mode" in Security & Drivers.
For reference, I am running Telsa App Version 4.20.75 and do not recall this option ever being there prior to this App version.

There is nothing between sentry mode and valet mode on my iphone, version 4.20.75. It must be specific to certain car models

I always carry the keycard with me… just in case. At random times the car won’t detect my phone, so I just use the card instead. This doesn’t happen often, but the keycard gives me peace of mind.

If your phone has NFC you can tap your phone as well (like a keycard). At least .. on Android you can.

I just checked and nothing.
Went into app store it had OPEN only so looked like upto date.
Went check under apps I had Always on with location under app it shows 4.20.70.
Went out and back into App Store UPDATE appeared so now on 4.20.75 and now I have the new option and it is ticked.
Weird

perhaps.
below is what i now see in App - if that is toggled to off, then I am unable to unlock by grabbing the door handle, I must physically go into App and press the unlock button - or use keycard.

I've been waiting for this update, but so far it's only available on iPhones. Those of us on Android phones don't have this option yet.

I looked at that screen on my app - mine is the same as your screen shot
I also got this pop-up:

I checked my iphone settings for the Tesla app, which confirmed that location access was set to 'always'
I have noticed lately that the car seems a bit less responsive to the presence of my phone, but that might be from a variety of causes

Confirming that I've also had the occasional issue with the car not detecting my iphone, an annoyance that is usually fixed by pulling the phone out of my pocket and pressing the power button.

Fixing or adding?

Let you know…

No doubt both….

The last update that is supposed to read speed limit signs…I stopped directly in front of a 10kmh sign today and it did not read. (Model S) It was front and centre, so either doesn’t work or doesn’t have 10 programmed in

I have 2023.12.5 and my car has picked up 10 three times out of three in the past 48hrs. But it has worked for me with "10" for some time previously.

 

[paulp]

I’m also on 2023.12.5, so maybe it works with 3/Y but not S/X. You can see the speed registered on my dash in the pic. Its also not on a public road so maybe that also makes a difference.

 

[doggy1]

Odd!

My car in the early days used to recognise 10 and 5 signs on private roads and in car parks, but that stopped some time ago. Probably a software update at some point stopped speed sign recognition when not on a public road.

The latest Android Tesla update has the option now.

My car on 2023.12.5 has started reading somewhat stranger things also. I went through drive through car wash yesterday and it was showing 30 speed limit in there for me, and I could not understand where it got the 30 until I noticed that on the screen where it shows the 30 sign there was an add for the car wash that ended with $30 for one of the options costs. So it read that 30 as speed limit sign and showed it as 30 sign on screen.
It is downloading 2023.12.9 now so will have to see if that changes anything.

Haas anyone confirmed any improvement to the ability to read the LED speed signs on motorways? I read somewhere (maybe here) that it was working on 12.5 but I suspect it was GPS data that was feeding the speed limit to the system. I regularly drive the M4, M7 in Sydney and the car doesn't see the overhead LED signs at all, but sometimes seems to pick up the roadside LED signs (but again could be GPS-linked speed info).

on 12.5 my car did not read any of the LED signs, I noticed the LED signs that have the regular sign under and text that if blank then speed limit is this, the car actually reads that regular sign regardless of what the LED says, though often they were the same thing, so it looked like it was reading the right sign, however any LED sign without the regular sign next to it was not recognized on screen at all.
