V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

This is a game changer for me! SO refreshing to have a full-featured streaming service now!
Agree. However, it is currently WORLDS better than it was. I'm OK with a slight lag in start time as long as the proper acceleration is there, which it is now. I'd think that it may be a touch risky to have it start sooner AND have the same level of acceleration that it does now. If someone were to start and suddenly stop in front of you AP may not be able to transition quickly enough.

With apologies to Leonard Nimoy, the Tesla seems to exhibit two-dimensional thinking. A multilevel parking structure might be beyond its current capabilities, and is definitely beyond it current intended usage: the user is directed to maintain line of sight. See the advisory in the V10 Release Notes.
Las Vegas to Phoenix yesterday, 60 mph gusts, AP handled like a champ, however range was horrible due to headwind so had to make multiple stops which gave wife and I time to watch some Netflix while charging!!!!

Yes, I get what you are saying. What I was trying to convey is that the Tesla should start sooner and only accelerate a little slower than the car in front until the selected separation is reached. A fairly easy algorithm to incorporate. The radar can handle that easily enough. It's the process that many humans do

As much. I to still see some dancing, though no more spinning cars. I did have a pickup truck that - in motion - could not decide if it was in the adjacent lane or one further over. A nice reminder to still head-check before approving an NoA lane change.Cars don't dance anymore

Hmmmm, well the cars around me still think they are Michael Jackson. A lot of moon walkingCars don't dance anymore
But yes, getting better. At least they weren't spinning to the Little Richard's tune of "Good Golly Ms Molly"

That was my impression last night while driving around town.Cars don't dance anymore
I tested out Smart Summons at my place of employment on Saturday so the parking lot was completely empty.
I always park in the same spot or roughly the same spot, and I always exit the building from the same exit. So it was a pretty simple test of seeing if smart summons would be capable of picking me up. Was this going to be the Wall-E moment we've been expecting?
I initially tried the come to me option, but I wasn't getting a separate full screen B&W type view that other people were seeing, I saw bits of it on the screen, but it wasn't really useful. There is probably a trick to it that I didn't realize at the time. I was simply holding it down, and then I watched over the car.
It backed up just fine, but then proceeded to drive over the empty parking lots. After a small bit of this it was coming to the end where it needed to avoid the curb, and to turn the corner. Basically the parking lot has trees, grass, and a large curb that separates the two parking areas. Well it was getting too close the edge, and I couldn't see it from where I was standing. So I stopped that test.
Then I tried the smart summons to a picked spot. Initially I was confused from the map view of trying to associate things with the map so that didn't go well. I then realized it had the satellite view which was a lot easier to use, but for some reason it wasn't defaulting to this.
So I tried the satellite view, and initially the summons seemed to go fairly well. But, it kept ending up blocking the entire path. So I adjust the destination to have it drive past me thinking I could just stop it on its way, and it wouldn't look so bad. But, this changed the path it wanted to take and led to it being entirely confused.
So I kept retrying where I'd put the car back, and slightly adjust the destination.
Over about 10 tries I never did got it work quite right, and got very inconsistent behavior that was highly tied to the exact destination position even though I was only making slight changes.
In Summary:
The smart summons does work in a kinda, sorta way in this specific example. But, the way it does it and the lack of consistency makes it entirely unusable.
I'll continue to test it with each update, but to use it the feature needs to exhibit confidence building capabilities. Things like not driving over empty parking spaces, and not getting close to curbs. The latency between when you release the button, and the car stopping is high enough that you absolutely have the err on the side of caution.
I didn't have any issue with the speed that it drives. I did have quite a few glitchy pauses for no apparent reason.
On the plus side it did reliably detect me when I would get in its way, and would stop with basically saying "an annoying human got in my way".
It exhibited no Christine like behaviors.

Wrong King novel. Should be Christine.It exhibited no carrie like behaviors.

I really shouldn't glitch when talking about Smart Summons glitching.
I fixed it. Thanks.

Well this was really interesting to me at least. I was on 2019.32.10.1 and wondering why I wasn’t getting 2019.32.11 like everyone else seems to be (at least per TeslaFi), so I clicked on the Software tab. Prior to this, I did not show the pending update icon on the status bar. As soon as I clicked on it, I saw for the first time this “checking for updates message.” Immediately after, I saw the “Update available” message. I wonder if that triggered anything or it was a coincidence.

So, I added a playlist in Spotify on my phone a few hours ago, and it still hasn't synced to the car. It did sync when I first signed in on the car, but nothing since. Did anyone get this to work?
I had to leave the car for a few hours then sign out and in to Spotify. But that isn’t working for everyone. I haven’t gotten any stations to show up yet.

Hm, that's a potential show stopper. If it can't sync playlists (including updating dynamic ones like "Discover Weekly") without signing out and back in every time it loses a lot of its value.

It's updating playlists for me, both ways. Added some new albums from one playlist on my phone a couple hours before driving, worked find. Added a couple songs in the car to the same playlist; they showed up on my phone when I checked at the next red light.
