They’re falling back to the horse and buggy. It is GM, after all...

It's that time of year when the Pacific Northwest US gets a lot of different rain conditions. I have to say, this "deep rain" is just not getting the job done. If I were designing a system, I would have at least one camera with a shallow depth of field focused on the windshield, and maybe a...

It's working about one out of every five times now, so the busy server theory is looking more likely.

i tried it both ways. If I hold the button down, it actually closes the voice prompt window. The only times it has worked, I have NOT been holding it down.

Same here. HUGE regression as I can't use voice commands at all now. I wish I could roll back.

yes, it’s useful if you are in the car waiting on something. For example, there is a store here that only opens for a few hours on Tuesday and Thursday early evening. I went there after work, bit arrived about 15 minutes early. I was able to sit in the parking lot and watch a football game on YT...

IOW: “We’re working on the website accuracy and anticipate the issue with website accuracy will be corrected by Jan 1, 2020.”

Cool beans. Maybe the rollout will resume. I am looking forward to this release.

It allows regenerative braking below 5mph and as you slow seamlessly transitions to brakes to stop and hold the car. This allows you to spend much more time just using the accelerator pedal and you rarely need to use the brake pedal. it is only available on cars that have the newer motors that...

yes, there were some posts up on Reddit about a couple of significant bugs in the release. One was that when the car was in the new one-pedal driving mode, when backing up on an incline, the car might go forwards instead of backwards. The other issue I saw was some guy who enabled the scheduled...

Maybe some fix that was in 2019.36.1, that they have now back-ported to the branch from which 2019.12.* was being released - while they work on the problems with 2019.36.

i consider Hulu, Netflix and Youtube substantive features, great for charging as you say. We’ll have to agree to disagree on the value of the “easter eggs”.

No thanks. I want the Tesla engineers working on substantive features, not Halloween “Easter Eggs”, additional Monty Python animations, or Enhanced Fart Mode.

My wife and I were out there last Friday and Saturday. Looks like there is still a lot of interior construction to go. But the location couldn't be more convenient - just 10-20 meters from the superchargers.

Bring it on. I spent a significant portion of the weekend driving through rain and some snow. It was quite stressful, and having wipers that worked without me having to diddle around with the touchscreen would have helped.

Or the carrier throttling traffic from Spotify’s servers. Slacker is a fringe streaming service, probably not on their radar screen, but Spotify is one of the top ones, and it’s totally in character for AT&T or Verizon to do this.

That sure sounds like network congestion.

It’s very possible that whichever carrier they have contracted with LTE is throttling traffic from Spotify’s servers.

Any news on enhanced fart mode (EFM)?

I think the there's a greater chance of monkeys flying out of my butt. But I would love it if the car could leverage one of the existing voice assistants like Cortana, Google Assistant, or Siri. There is a huge investment in building this technology, and it's not Tesla's core business. But I...

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. It sounds like an actual horse galloping rather than someone mimicking that by striking two coconut halves together as in the Monty Python movie. My guess is that there's some copyright issue involved with the actual MP sound clip.

That doesn't sound like coconuts to me....

That would be an improvement over the track record so far. i really want them to get this right. “Smart Summon” is little more than a gimmick, IMHO, and clearly rushed out in an attempt to meet a promised date. City driving needs to be done right, and I would rather they miss the promised date...

I will be thrilled if your timeline is correct.

Looks great! That must be exciting seeing your place of business being built. Love the Tesla hat, btw.

Spotify's music catalog is great - second only to Apple Music, IIRC. But where they excel is in music recommendations. I was a Spotify user briefly before switching to Apple Music due to issues with the Spotify Car play app (possibly Apple's fault - they haven't learned to play well with others...

That is interesting.

Here is a link to the 3 month trial. Go to this page: Premium offers and discounts - Spotify Then click on the link there that says "current offers". This brought up the 3 month trial page for me. You can't have previously had Spotify premium,

Are you migrating from another service? You might email them and tell them you're thinking of migrating from Apple Music, but wanted a trial before you commit.

yes, i’m aware of the firmware tracker. I thought of another reason they might roll out two releases back-to-back like that. Sometimes you have some code that only needs to be there temporarily during some transition, and then once the transition is complete, you deploy another update without...

Oh, that's a great idea!

well, we may never know what the motivation was. In any event, I am loving V10.

same here.

It just seemed like sort of a panic fix rollout to me. If this release was ready, why push out 2019.32.10 the day before?

Yeah, i know all about incremental rollout, canary deployments, etc. I work in Microsoft Azure, and before that I worked in Bing were we did deloyments over hundreds of thousands of servers. But all of that you're deploying something that's had some internal testing first, and less than 1 day is...

Thanks. A little too cavalier IMHO, but here's hoping they never have a disaster with that approach.

Must have been significant to do another rollout this quickly. One of the well-known principles of computer services is that the biggest outages are most often when someone reacts to a small problem without proper testing and planning and turns the small problem into a big problem.

Probably a feature of the Spotify software that there either wasn't time to remove or someone forgot to remove.

i’m loving V10. Autopilot/NoA is finally good enough that I feel comfortable using it. Also love all the new entertainment features plus the ability to select icons on the map.

Congrats!

Plus imagine rain sensing wipers turning on and wipers being damaged.

A car wash mode makes - lot of sense. I guess that's something to look forward to for a future release (along with enhanced fart mode, of course).

Enhanced fart mode is worthy of its own major release - perhaps v11

Those of you still on v3.9.1 of the iOS app: Go into the App Store and search for the Tesla app. Open up the app listing in the store UI. You should see an "Update" button there. Push this to update the app. On my phone it was not showing up in the list of apps to update, so I had to do this to...

still stuck on 32.2.1. sigh....

Thank you! I totally agree. Please let's not turn this into one of those forums where people don't feel free to express their opinions. I find some of the posts here a little overly optimistic, and conversely some a bit too pessimistic. But the value here is to see a diversity of opinions, to...

Don't knock enhanced fart mode until you've tried it :)

Thank you for posting that. I think what he says supports my assertion. It's important to distinguish what they are doing now from the more future looking stuff he mentions, and even what's in the code branch they are using internally now. I suspect it is going to be very noticeable change in AP...

Yes, and for simple TACC, for the most part, it's not necessary for the system to anticipate other drivers' actions. The computer can react very fast and doesn't get distracted and so even with a brute force approach should be able to slow or stop to avoid a collision within the capabilities of...

I suspect the current NN is identifying objects of interest and determining bounding boxes for those. This is then used to create the model you see in the display. The way the objects (cars, bicycles, trucks, etc.) shown there bounce around is a strong indicator that they aren't doing any...
