UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR: New firmware 5.13? Tesla service says it's being pushed now...

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Spoke to Tesla Service today and they said a new version of firmware is being pushed to customers starting a couple days ago. It should be fully distributed in two to three weeks. They said it includes significant Nav updates including traffic in routing.

Have you downloaded it? If so, please give us a summary of changes.
 
Are you referring to the update as 5.13 or is that what Tesla called it? All the news to date has been that the nav update is what is supposed to be in FW 6.0, which is supposedly being released "shortly".
 
Rarely have I read a thread with so many people stating as fact things they really don't know about. Including this post. But really, if you post something new as fact, please provide details and backup and don't fill in details with assumptions.
 
I am open to correction - wasn't 5.11 (then quickly 5.12) primarily to support the first deliveries of RHD cars?
Don't know. From the posts is seems that a few 5.11 were rolled out over the air in North America, and 5.12 plus a few 5.11 were installed by the Service Centres. The bugs are based on the posts in 5.11 and 5.12 threads. This is really very typical of how Tesla rolls out upgrades. First they do some beta testing with known testers, then they roll out a few and wait a bit, then they fix some bugs, roll out a few more an wait a bit. Eventually they roll out to everyone.

Not sure I follow Jerry. Are you saying that 5.11 and 5.12 are rolled out to set up for 6.0? If so, I disagree. Seems that 5.11 and 5.12 are attempts to fix problems in the 5.x series as they have nothing 'new' in them.

Yes, this is my first post and I'm surprised by the attitudes in some of the responses.

I spoke to two different Tesla tech specialists on the phone (I think they were in Fremont) who both said there was a firmware push which had started "about two days days ago" and that the sequencing would would take about two weeks to complete. I specifically asked if it included the traffic enhancements to the Nav and they said yes.

My P85+ is just a couple months old, (no service needs or issues w this spectacular car) so my update will be late since they explained they sequence by VINs.

6.0 would be big news... Not seeing any posts, I find it strange - so I'm asking this group. No need for the couple of harsh replies.
