Updating from 40.3 to 40.4

[Shelby16]

I saw .4 was released a bit ago, but now updating to it and never realized I was on .4. I have been having very weird car issues lately. I hope they are fixed.

At a stop like and it going into park.

At a stop light and flashers flash twice, then all the heated seats turned on.

weird stuff like that

Yeah, I've been having USB issues since .3. Hopefully that's fixed

I’m glad I’m not going insane. I was going to be bugged if it was just me and maybe my car crapping out on me.

Just installed it.

My car went from .3 to .4 very very fast, usually means they found a significant bug they quickly patched.

Haven't driven significantly on either yet though (will tomorrow)

 

[Wnuk]

Just got it also.

Ah, the joys of OTA updates...

I find it to be a good practice to do 2 reboots after installing an update - the 2 button hold one, and a power down one. Doing this I don't get the little "ooops software glitch" things others do.

Wow, that is really weird stuff. Have you tried resetting the computer? Going into park while you are driving is very bad and should never happen. If you reset your computer and this is still happening I would schedule a service appt immediately. Heated seats coming on while at a atop light with flashing lights is just straight freaky, but this seems like something that would be correct by resetting the computer.

Wow, as i was posting my last post I just got the notification that .4 was ready to install. So, installing now.... As a side note, I occasionally experience weirdness after a FW update so I typically do a computer rest after each update just to make sure everything is fresh.

I can't say that's ever made a difference. The car reboots anyway after an update.

maybe I’ll try this in the morning and go from there before scheduling service if needed.

I can’t either, but I do it and don’t have issues like the OP’s. The “car reboots during the upgrade process” argument isn’t a good one - we don’t have access to the console, don’t know what happens after that reboot.

I always have (for three years) rebooted after firmware installs and I know the few times I haven’t I’ve gotten glitches or the car hasn’t slept. And the reboot the car does ‘anyway’ is not the same. The software is not in place yet. Highly recommended to do a scroll wheel reboot. Not sure a power down reboot adds anything but can’t hurt!

And if you ever call Tesla the first thing they will have you is those exact things. Reboot both ways.

Nobody’s saying rebooting doesn’t fix things in general. It’s just unnecessary for most, it not all people after a software update. Watch your screen - it reboots exactly the same as a double scroll wheel reboot at the end of the update.

Whatever. To each his own!

Well the two button reboot just restarts the screen. The actual power down reboots the car, so wouldn't you want to reboot the car and not just restart the screen? (info pulled from the manual).

I don't reboot. I've been lucky to have very few glitches.

This is my take too. No harm doing extra reboot. But as far as I know, there is no formal requirement to reboot after an update, so it can only be something that might help in very unusual circumstances so try it any way.

Pretty much like a phone. I always reboot my iPhone after a software update just as an extra precaution.
