Tesla Software updates - Australia

[Quickst]

FWIW Ive set mine @ 55% instead of 80%/90% for my general around town stuff after looking into this area deeply as a personal decision on general use for my use cases.

Off topic but...
Welcome to the SoC55 club . I also charge to 55% for day to day.
If need 100% charge to 100% and I have no qualms to drain to zero if required. There is about a 4% reserve below zero in any case assuming BMS accurate
Even on long trips it is becoming clearer using the navigation app that charging to 100% if often not necessary - especially with Dc chargers along the route.
Charge at home makes life so much easier.
The biggest lesson Ive learnt about EV driving is to keep it simple, don't overcomplicate it.

Re software updates:
I have a general rule of thumb to always not be the first with updating software - other people can be the guinea pig experiment. @paulp indicated that the advanced/standard update setting does nothing. So in that case I have created a new rule of thumb to maybe wait 1 week after an update becomes available (or wait until I'm sick of Tesla reminding me there is an update).

Fellas with the MCU-Z apparently its 256GB in storage. So if I wanted just because is there a way to shift the arcade stuff onto an external partition?

Also I assume the arcade games are local specific and if I get mt kid asking about what he saw on youtube etc I assume it all depends if its available with AUS?

I thought that was only on the new refreshed Model S and X with that much storage space.

Reports indicate MCU-Z is MCU-Z: there is inner generation iterations. Was first out on the premium models but eventually it came into the model 3 / Y:

AMD Ryzen Affects The Range Of New Tesla Cars

The AMD Ryzen processor in the new Model 3/Model Y, that accelerates the entire infotainment/navigation, affects the range of the cars.

Heres my additional specs window from the display:

Is anybody having issues with their app not connecting to their car? Was fine a few hours ago and now won't connect at all

That can randomly happen at times. Seems to always be ok next day

I had this today. The two button reset fixed it.

installed 2023.20.9 about a week ago, just after a 1000km trip
no problem with Apple Music for the entire journey
last few days I’ve had songs not starting or jumping to the next one
two button reset doesn’t help
anyone else?

update: the problem seems to be related to playlists - not sure why

2023.26.7 installing... anyone found the bugs yet?

Good to see update notifications are working again instead of having to manually check.

Anyone else had the windows venting without asking? My Y, the Mrs 3 and another friends Y have all had the windows venting after switching on the climate. Haven’t gone into the interior page to turn that on either, just the main screen.

I read elsewhere that 26.x will change max recommended charging limits for non LFP batteries to max 80% for daily driving instead of 90%???
Anyone confirm?

Yep. Cant personally confim cos Im waiting on the VIN lottery for the release download but there is countless confirmations mate

SoC55 club FTW Obviously Tesla are looking at their data and their risk and feel for NMC and the like cathode lithium ion versions they need to risk the backlash by going to 80%. Though I also believe that the Tesla warranty on age and KLMs for batteries remains the same in Aus. The web tells me that Tesla has previously seen fit to adjust Australian warranty in the past when I was oblivious to all this in those dark sad days when I was a dino mode car enthusiast lol

Confirmed - on 2022 M3 LR on 2023.26.6 anything over 80% delivers you a Charging Tip.

4 year old model S updated To 26.6. Still showing a recommended 90% limit for daily driving.

 

[meloccom]

Nearly 9 year old Model S 85 and I have been happily charging to 90% in all that time. I don’t get that message either. 2022.8.10.12.

Science of Lithium Ion storage being calendar age on different cathode materials and different temps:

 

[MickyD]

That says to me that the difference between chemistries isn’t worth worrying about since none of us would be storing the car for 10 months at a high temperature…

2023.26.7 Installed. No issues at present, but an anti climax as I thought this version was introducing "drive on sunshine" option for those with PWs and Tesla wall connector.
