Current status of Firmware 6.0 ?

[AmpedRealtor]

Someone should tweet Elon about his tweet a couple of months ago that 6.0 is coming very soon. Maybe he should be called out on this because he appears to live in a different time space continuum than us mortals.

He runs on Elon time.

My husband says I have a similar problem. I run on Liz time, which is always 1/2 hour to 1 hour later than actual time.

Elon's gap is just a little larger than that.

And by a little you mean a lot.

There are so many different time zones. Most docs here know that OR (operating room) schedule times have no relationship to any other time zone at all

...TeslaOS 6.0 (is there an actual name for the MS firmware?)...

Linux

Linux

Well, for the center console and likely the dash. The actual OS running the BMS/drivetrain is seperate from those two (as evidenced by the fact you can keep driving while rebooting the consoles".

I'd suspect that's not a generalized OS like Linux, and more likely a RTOS (either licensed like QNX or home grown).

...and that they're multiple OS's. BMS is likely a completely separate module from drivetrain management. Cars have evolved into a giant distributed computer system using a CAN bus backplane, where even things like TPMS have a very specific module for them that is independent from anything else.

Oh, and don't forget OS-9, too.

Have we established that Tesla implements a CAN bus communication architecture? I thought it was mostly over Ethernet/Local Area Network.

When I saw the Adaptive Cruise test car at Hawthorne, it had a large PC in the trunk with multiple CAN bus labels on it

There are multiple CAN buses in addition to the ethernet network that provides a gateway between the two displays and the gateway to the car's systems.

Not sure how much sense that makes. Security patches are reasons to prioritize a software release, not further delay it.

Wow! That's awesome!

Take it to the factory and say "Valar morghulis".

FYI I am installing 6.0 as I type this. I am at a service center. They just came out and said hey, you want 6.0? Gonna take about an hour. I'm like, DUH, YES.

Will report back with details and release notes.

Are you joking? My car just got picked up about 15 minutes ago. I'm calling over there now.

fyi i am installing 6.0 as i type this. I am at a service center. They just came out and said hey, you want 6.0? Gonna take about an hour. I'm like, duh, yes.

post photos of release notes please!!!!

 

[BlueTan85]

No joke. I have my car in for a simple tire rotation, and we talked about them adding 5.12, which I'm not even on yet, and they said it'd add an additional 20-30 min wait and I said nah. Then the technician comes out about 20 mins into their working on tire rotation and a few simple service bulletins and says "Hey they just release 6.0. Would you like us to install it? it'll take an hour." OMGOMGOMG YES, of course. So I'm gonna be here a while.

 

[TexasEV]

You're probably the first person to get it or even hear about it. No mention of it yet on the TM forum.

You got that right. I just called my SC and my adviser has no clue as of yet, but will check. I'll call back in an hour when he has time to investigate it.
