Wiki [UK] 2021 - The Holiday Release - 'holiday fun' not V11 UI changes and features

[MrBadger]

Moderation comment - since thread was originally started, it has come to light that the same release will also incorporate the long awaited V11 UI and related features. Please use the existing Wiki - [UK] V11 UI Changes and Features thread for discussion of the new V11 UI and associated features.

This is probably the kiss of death, but EM has hinted at this coming Tuesday for this years holiday release

I'm going to guess that the Sonic game is being included, but after last years false dawn, difficult to speculate on what else. Much of last years speculated features ended up being drip fed over the course of this year instead, and those features that were released and described by EM as 'fire' were at the time largely irrelevant to the UK.

So, any advances on more cones...?

Some further suggestions in the global thread 2021 Holiday Firmware Release - Predictions and Impressions (after release)

To further manage the expectations of those UK members that got their Teslas in 2021, there is a whole thread covering what most agreed was a very underwhelming experience last Christmas/New Year:
Wiki - [UK] Holiday update - 2020.48.26/.30/.35.x

I'm hoping that we will get more than a couple of games e.g. remote Sentry viewing on the app, but I'm not holding my breath...

Remember it like it was yesterday

maybe they'll add volume control for santa mode? fun for the kids, but current volume is a touch excessive, or just have the option for the sleigh without the music.

 

[Mr H]

The last update was a disaster, i don't need the car to show me 'on a screen' the things i can see out of the window - a larger map would be more useful

I've not tried this year, but last year if you activated it by saying "ho ho ho" on voice control rather than through the toy box screen then you didn't get the music or indicator bells, just the sleigh graphics.

It still is.

I would sing his praises if he arranged my headlights to go back to full beam earlier than 3 seconds after the last car has passed. I might even bow down and give thanks if he arranged auto headlights to come on below 25mph, so I can get up to 25mph on the single track roads around here with all their bends. My expectations are low - a stupid game I'll never play?
FSD - fools and suckers debited (yes, I was one too)
<brightly> we'll all get a demo of self drive on city streets working flawlessly as a trial for those who didn't buy FSD </brightly>

I don’t believe regulations allow the auto system to operate below 25 mph so don’t hold your breath on that one.

Really? I wouldn't be surprised by such a stooopid rule except that once you do manage to get to 25mph then the system keeps working even when you drop down below that speed again...

 

[Cilonen]

Nope - the last 2 BMWs I owned had auto high beam, they don't operate if under 30mph. System can be activated, but remains idle until speedo exceeds 30, and disengages if you drop below 30. Also disengages if it detects street lights.

 

[Tony Hoyle]

He'll hype it up again and we'll all be expecting something great then get maybe a sonic game.

Someone at the dev team really needs to tell him to shut up..

 

[Bouba]

For Christmas I would love a 360 degrees camera for parking

 

[Tony Hoyle]

360 degree camera would be a hardware change.. it'd be impressive if they could do that by christmas!

 

[MrBadger]

Was was wondering if the FSD beta visualisations might be rolled out though, ie vector based BEV. It would keep with the holiday theme of cones...

 

[Godsense]

Here we go again!

Maybe the cones can have baubles on top too

 

[Dilly]

I’m in Santa mode.

[Bouba]

If Santa won’t bring a 360 camera, then how about front parking sensors that actually see the curb

Well doneThose Norfolk reindeer are a real problem....not as bad as the herds of wildebeests

I was new to Tesla, having bought my first at the end of Sept 2020. So the last Holiday Release pretty much created my don't trust a word EM says mentality.

On the plus side, whatever we get, no matter how small is something. I just wouldn't listen to the hype.
