Firmware 6.2

[AmpedRealtor]

Took a quick glance at the updates and said out loud, "That's it?" Another update, another lack of playlist / artist / song / album / genre integration with iPods and iPhone's music app.

But think about all the bugs they are getting rid of! In theory, anyway.

I would like at least one software release to make my HVAC function like any other car out there, i.e., keep me comfortable.

Default Autopilot ..
automatically degrades to .. TACC (when auto not available).
automatically degades to .. Cruise (when TACC not available).

Getting the user experience right here is incredibly tricky. As an example, when going from my TACC car to my non-TACC car it's quite easy to forget that I have to brake for slower cars always not just when/if TACC misbehaves.

One thing I found strange with .253 . while charging on a level 2 charger, the door handles keep on going out for 5 minutes, then retracting for 5 minutes. Don't know if this will happen with a supercharger or not.

anyone else experience 4his on .253?

 

[tinm]

Haven't experienced that, but the car sure made a lot of clicks and snaps and crackles and pops while the .253 software was downloading and installing. My office is right next to the garage and I had the door open and could see the car and it sure made a racket. I was just relieved when it stopped and then the car worked when I took it out later.

That's normal for any update.

I'm talking after the update completed several hours ago. I know during the update wierd stuff can happen. But the first time charging 12 hours after the update the handles were going crazy. Have since found out that it was only occurring while the car was unlocked and charging. Once I locked it, the handles stopped moving.

My reply was to tinm's description. Sorry bout the confusion.

 

[Lawsteve]

That was me.

My .253 update notice came in at 12:45am. I just installed it tonight on my "classic" pre parking sensor P85. Interestingly, the update took less than 25 minutes.

i haven't had time to look for any changes ( or to search this thread for any discovered by others. Too busy cooking my dinner.

.253 updated on P85 Sig today.

I was at my service center today and they updated my P85D from .251 to .253

Perhaps I am imagining things, but in going from .249 to .251 my AC suddenly started putting out a lot more cold air (higher blower speed and the air out of the vents seemed colder). Too early to say if it manages set point better across a range of temperatures.

The sunroof from closed -> vent continues to be laughable on .253. On my car, that behavior started at with the .239 -> .249 change.

 

[tinm]

In other cars I've owned with sunroofs, "vent" was real, opened 1-2 inches from back, worked great. The Model S "vent" is useless, there's no airflow. Hadn't realized it's a software issue.

On .239, I think "vent" went to about 12". It was definitely measurable. Since .249, it's been a joke.

That is my impression as well in the update from .249 to .251.

.253 installed at SC yesterday.

Tend to agree on the AC in .251, but then again now the it is hotter in the exterior temperature it just may be working better as it weights outside temp as a factor. But either way it seems to be cooling better and more aggressively. I just keep it set on 72 all the time and its fine now.

The AC logic should be very simple... blast the AC at LO until the temperature set point is reached, then back off. How hard is that?

So that's how you would use the least energy from the battery to achieve the desired cooling?

Happy to see people saying they feel the AC is acting better in .251

First time ever I was actually cold with the AC on. Yep. I am running .251
