After today's call, I decided to write as well.
Hello,
This Model X 90D was upgraded to firmware 2018.42.2 last Tuesday, October 30. Navigate on Autopilot was not available, so I contacted customer support on Wednesday, October 31. The representative said that I had current maps, but there was something that needed to be done by engineering to fix that problem and I should expect an email saying it was completed within 24-48 hours.
I didn’t receive an email, so I called again on Saturday, November 3. I was told that there were extensive notes and I should expect a response within 24-48 hours. He also gave me a case number: xxx
Again, I wasn’t contacted, so I called again today (November 6). The representative said he didn’t need my case number. I was told that it was possible that I wouldn’t get Navigate over Autopilot until “it’s out of beta,” along with a suggestion to have the car connected to strong WiFi (it is). Autopilot itself has been in beta for years, so to suggest that Navigate over Autopilot might not be available until it’s out of beta simply doesn’t make sense.
I understand that workloads are high at Tesla, but to have two ETAs missed, no transparency on what it’s actually going to take to get this problem fixed and then to be told that it might not be fixed isn’t acceptable.
I would like to know specifically what it will take to get Navigate on Autopilot installed on my car, whether that’s work by some remote Tesla team, with a time commitment, a service appointment at a Service Center, or a visit from Mobile Service.
Thanks,
