I wonder if this is to do with headlight recalibration. After a software update, my headlights are usually reset too low to be of any use when driving in the dark. I've been resetting them back manually via the service menu.

The headlights pointing too low/high following software updates is a known issue for those that perform the update whilst parked on a slope. Until a fix is found you should continue to do a recalibration of headlights when parked on a flat surface after each software update (until the software update that fixes the issue of course!).

That’s just showing off @Dilly

@AnthonyLR You haven’t missed anything. My non-existent heat pump now warms the car even quicker

Likewise. Any idea what it does?

It messes with your mind…

most likely tweaks models with heat pumps. Maybe some other tweaks. I got it very early on yesterday in my 2020 with no heat pump. Lord knows why!

I do wonder whether all these heat pump changes will be enough or it's just postponing a recall and replacement of the part.. That'll be messy - *lots* of cars with heat pumps.

I suspect the fixes are an attempt to limit any recalls to cars in cold climates eg Canada. It doesn't get cold enough in the UK in comparison.

My experience over the last 2 weeks is that the heating works VERY well, especially when setting the car to prepare to be at a comfortable temperature before use.

When we get down to a patch level release (a change in y - x.x.x.y) this is just a bug fix. Don't expect any new features or changes to the release notes.

I haven’t had an update since .7 in my 21 M3LR. See lots getting .8 and upwards. Anyone else in the same boat?

 

[Overworked]

I am the same as you

There are still more people on .7 than on .8

Have you changed the setting for update frequency in the car?
It's defaulted to standard and that gets less frequent small updates. If you set it to advanced, you receive all updates frequently.
It's in the software update section of the car settings.

I’m on .8 still and the map is still constantly zoomed out too far. It’s slightly better when using navigation, but not close enough for my liking to have a good idea of your position relative to nearby roads.

Also I’ve noticed that since v11 I can barely see side roads that I’m travelling on when the map is in dark mode. There’s next to no contrast to the map background.

 

[Ferris the Cat]

Installed it into mine.

No heat. At. All.

So, in the 52 weeks I have owned mine, it has been in the Service Centre for 7 of those weeks, and if they can't sort this over the air, and since the Ranger service thinks I live on St Kilda, another trip to Birmingham service centre, to be told they "can't magic up" a replacement car beckons. They can do an Uber. Not from Shrewsbury to Edinburgh and back twice a week you can't.

Tesla build quality makes any JLR product look like a 70's Mercedes W123.

Absolutely.

I've also never seen the point of so much grey on grey on the maps. Why not use more colour/higher contrast for ease of viewing whilst driving?

I noticed this too the other night. You can increase the brightness for the screen which helps a lot. Think it's at the bottom when you hit Car Controls button.

 

[Durzel]

Thanks. I’ve always had the brightness on Auto which has never previously been a problem, until v11.

Or you can cycle through changing the map view which brings the map back to “daytime” mode.

 

[Durzel]

My point is that on Auto brightness and Auto light/dark mode prior to v11 it was never an issue. I don’t want to have to be digging into menus to change the brightness and/or be using light mode at night just to have a functional map.
