[UK specific] Software Update 2023.26

[EV_SteveA]

they have to have software that adapts based on local regulations - eg light patterns for cars sold in France will be different to the UK,so there will always be local versions of the software.

Llights on with wipers is a US regulation I think and is mandatory (don't know how they managed without supporting it until now?) - so while it makes sense to perhaps offer it as an option here, its not required and they haven't bothered.

Joke really just switch the option on in the UK - common sense for safety reasons

I’m not arguing that there are parts of the firmware that are clearly outdated. However, complaining about updates because they don’t add flashy new features is a little churlish.

People are complaining that the updates are adding flashy new features, while at the same time getting worse at the important stuff. Case in point removing radar and requiring auto wipers and lights on cars that had a physical radar. Or physical changes like removing the radar, removing the USS. It would be much better to just not update than remove or break features.

It’s the driver‘s responsibility, not the car’s.

It is definitely a legal requirement in at least some states in the USA (I don't know the rules in all 50 but know for certain it applies in North Carolina). Not all cars do it automatically and the regulations put the requirement on the driver to switch on the headlights if the wipers are running.

Summon remains broken under 2023.26.8

I would wager if they do this we will have some people complaining about it as another example of the car being designed for the US market and everywhere else being an afterthought. I would be happy if they turn it on or, better perhaps, make it an optional toggle in settings.

Great.

How long do I give it before I start asking for some kind of goodwill gesture for them breaking something I paid extra for?

I don't have Tesla vision, I have USS. Summon has been broken since 23.20.

Same. Two cars with USS and Summon not working on either. But I suspect it is not a defect...

My original post in relation to this was in response to someone complaining about minor point updates not providing new features.

Does the “lights on when it’s raining” actually work in the UK ?

Don’t know, not got the update yet.

26.7 on my 2021 M3, summon still works fine. Seems strange so many cars have stopped working while others still are.

But I haven't asked for new features - I'm asking for the basics to work so they can be trusted, the additional features that we already have to be made fit for purpose, I have zero interest in games

I want a proper SDLC where regression testing ensures that nothing working gets broken, That reported bugs are assessed and reverted or prioritised - something that any decent development shop has been doing for 35+ years. I don't want point releases to give the impression of progress and we should be given access to the change log to show what little is being done.

@Leverologist Interesting. Are you on Android or iOS?
There is view at Tesla that the iOS app is the culprit

Mine is working just fine(2023.26.7 installed yesterday afternoon) . Android, 2020 M3 LR.
2023.20.9 was fine too.

Android, Samsung.

 

[Dilly]

Android, Samsung.

That makes some sense and on the face of it confirms an iOS bug

 

[Dilly]

I can confirm that summon works using my old iPhone SE on iOS 15.7.4, Tesla app V4.12.1, car 2023.26.8

 

[speedyranger74]

2023.26.8 was so quick to install.

No. (And I don’t want it to either!)

What did you sacrifice in order to do it. Did you have Wi-Fi Bluetooth and mobile, all turned on?
