Firmware 5.8.6/7/8/9/10

[Cosmacelf]

J in MN, maybe there is in fact a problem with your setup?

Oh and Tesla also told me that this release changes the behavior slightly for the 12V battery. Previously if you opened the charge port the 12V wasn't backed by the large battery pack until you either started charging or closed the port and pressed brake pedal. Now with this release it will use the wall power to support the 12V until charging starts. This means that there should be less 12V issues with scheduled charging where you wait for long time before scheduled charge starts.

My charge port is always open unless I'm on the road, but the 12V hasn't gone dead. (Since I share a single EVSE between two cars, the S may not be plugged in for days at a time. Hope this update doesn't create a new problem with the 12V.)

My service center told me that 5.8.7 addresses an issue a friend of mine was having with his model S where the rear windows would not roll down fast enough when you open the door quickly and the window would get stuck a little as you opened the door. Apparently 5.8.7 delays the door latch by a few milliseconds to allow the window to roll down.

5.8.7 seems to have modified the stereo settings again. Had to turn down my EQ settings to get it to sound good again.

I just installed it. Looks like it added seat heaters to the driver profile and the display dimming is supposed to now decrease in steps. Don't remember seeing this on the release notes before. (Ends up this is not true, just didn't notice this on the last update)

Jcaspar... Those aren't new features to .6/7

Don't know about the seat heaters but the display dimming in steps was introduced in 5.6.

I know the seat heat profiles were previously added, just not sure if it was 5.6 or 5.8.

This is a good change, I'm really surprised it did not work that way before.

Telsa's advice has always been to plug the car in when not in use, but if that did not keep the 12V charged, that advice made a lot less sense...

5.6

Damn. Sorry. I never wanted to be one of those guys who described "new" features that weren't really new. Guess I am. Sorry.

Tesla downloaded 7 to my car today.

Tesla downloaded 7 to my car today.

Over the air, randomly? Or pushed by a tech at a Service Center?

Since my car was in for service I would assume it was done by a tech.

v5.8.7 (1.49.84)

Mine was updated by the Service Center while the car was there for 25k service yesterday. It doesn't appear to be a general OTA yet.

BTW, service report refers to "Automatic Charge Current Reduction"

I am still running 5.6. Ever since 5.8 came out, I have received the software update screen every morning, and the little clock on the top of the screen has remained lit. I even received a call from my local SC. About a week ago, the software screen and the little clock both disappeared. I figured that I finally won the game of chicken with Tesla. After a whole week went by, the alerts reappeared. I was hoping that this would be a newer firmware (i.e.: 6.0) but alas I fear that it is 5.8.7 or some iteration.

Exact same scenario with me, down to the last detail.

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

Got 5.8.7 (1.49.84) when in for tire rotation, etc. at Tesla Burlingame today.

Let me see if my 60's overnight 6-8 mile vampire losses get any better. Sleep Mode is on but, I don't plug my car in at home most nights (charge at work).

 

[DrComputer]

I too got 5.8.7 from the LA service center when they had it today for an alignment issue.

 

[InTheShadows]

Didn't the OTA updates have version numbers on them before? I got one this am and it doesn't tell me what version it is.
