[UK] 2020.20.x

[Dilly]

Just had S/W update notification. Got very excited. Went to car only to find 2020.16.3 Will install and see if 2020.20.12 follows shortly afterwards. M3P.

Me too. Hope 16.3 has something useful!

I assume you have fsd?

I do, yeah.

So from the release notes, it seems like it added Fallout Shelter, TRAX improvements, and GPS improvements.

It's weird that it's such a large version jump for what seems like so little. Will be able to drive and test it out soon.

There appears to be various quality of life improvements that get added without being mentioned in the release notes, but I haven't yet found a resource that lists them all in one place.

2020.16.3, for example, altered the behaviour of Cabin Overheat to allow it to be used while Sentry Mode was enabled, as well as (apparently) making Security Alarm and Tilt/Intrusion permanently enabled - in the UK at least.

2020.20.12 is downloading to my M3P now. The service centre assured me this would fix the failed sentry recordings. Let's see...

2020.20.12 (which I installed this morning) still seems to have the Security Alarm and Tilt/Intrusion permanently enabled.

 

[Durzel]

I think that's intentional, rather than a bug. It's possible Tesla and insurance underwriters have been talking about this sort of thing behind the scenes, I don't imagine it is common at all that you can disable the alarm on a locked UK-spec car permanently (or at all).

16.3 doesn’t seem different to 16.2.1. Backgammon, toybox etc. No nav update
Presume it’s Just bug fixes
We’ll see how it drives

It's a shame they don't list what specific parts of Autopilot are improved in updates.
For example, the update prior to this one made the car slow down for corners, that seemed release note worthy to be to be honest. Maybe they could have a button to show advanced release notes so nerds like me can read the specifics.

The only thing new in the release notes in 20.12 over 16.3 that I see is a reference to a GPS Update (improvement in GPS stability and tracking according to the note).

Must admit I find the GPS excellent. When I park up I can even see which parking space I am occupying on the app map. Also when my other half drives I can see when she overtakes - car madly accelerates and its position changes to the other side of the road (and no I don't stalk her before anyone asks).

I'm in the same boat as you, got all excited till I seen the version

Upgraded to 20.12 from 16.2.1. all seems smoother but not too much change in autopilot over that if you ask me...

Well, sentry mode is now working properly!

Not only does it not appear to be working on mine, but the format button is greyed out on my new Samsung T5!

Where is the format button please?

Car settings - safety and security

Thanks. Mine is greyed out. Might be because I use an SSD.

An SSD shouldn’t make any difference. Word is if you unplug the drive then plug it back in, the format button will enable.
