Firmware 7.0 Beta Discussion

[AmpedRealtor]

Well since the model x specs state that lane holding is part of the features and not (coming soon), my money is on V7 release on 9/28 and model x delivary on 9/29

Hasn't it already been pretty much discussed to death in other threads that what Tesla says on its web site is not always to be relied on? Yet here we are relying on it.

I think Elon is cracking the whip to have it releases before his talk show appearance on Set 9. Great publicity, will want to talk about it

Doubt many who will watch Colbert will care about software release dates.

Point taken. Not to be insensitive but it's almost akin to a abusive relationship.... I keep holding out hope that Tesla will change... maybe this time they will ship a product with what they say it will have.

Agreed. I was equally dumbfounded by those who took that as "proof" that full AP would come with the X.

... but it's an incredible place to make news, arguably going to be one of the most watched things in late night TV. If he's got something to say that he wants shouted from the rooftops, no better place.

Except, perhaps.. the rooftops.

Surprising we dont have a video of the UI while someone is driving yet...

It's not that surprising.

People talked about "leaks" as if they came from people in the EAP (the official beta testing program), but personally, since we hadn't seen leaks from that group before, I didn't think that's what we had been seeing. Many of the people who did post photos said they had cars that were not part of the testing program, and concluded that they probably received the software by mistake. Some of those people posted to say the software had been pulled from their cars via another update.

If the pictures really had come from people in the official testing program, then yes, it would be surprising, but that would have been surprising as well, in and of itself.

Given everything that's been opined in this thread, I sincerely hope that Tesla simply offers us a "Classic" or "New" option to switch between the different interfaces. Hopefully (!) their code is modular enough to allow multiple interfaces on top of the real code that does the hard work.

Also, one thing the power/regen graph does is allow me to easily explain to non-Tesla people who are giving my car a test drive how that actually works, and how integrated "one pedal driving" actually is. By moving it off to the side and reducing the size and scale, it becomes a secondary thing in the minds of people who are driving the car for the first time. I think this is a big loss.

Yes, the option to go back and forth would be great.

Are the leaked photos taken at night? There might be a whole different discussion if they were day time palette.

7.0 Update?

Has anyone noticed that on the Model S ordering website, the "Autopilot" add on feature now lists "self parking" and "automatic steering"?

I don't think this was listed before.

I know this is a small thing. But I'm going stir crazy waiting for delivery.

 

[Max*]

I thought that was there from the beginning?

 

[tstafford]

Been there for months.

7.0 Update?

Those two items have been shown on that web page since October 2014, I think.

 

[Mones]

Damnit. Thanks for killing the dream.

Hey where did this thread go?

 

[HankLloydRight]

Hey where did this thread go?

I think everyone had a chance to voice their opinion and no need to rehash it all again.

One thing I would like to add though, is this video about Elon Musk talking about receiving negative feedback.

What Elon Musk says about negative feedback. - YouTube

I hope the Tesla engineers and UI product managers take this to heart when reviewing this thread.

I hope that everyone got their immediate allergic reaction out and plans to drive with it for a few weeks before passing judgment.

I think everyone is out back burning their cars to the ground to prevent any possibility of infection. :wink:

Oh? Please see the Firmware 7.0 thread. Judgement comes well before experience.

Thread is back! I was wandering where this thread went - sure it has got some negatives in it, some positive ideas for improvement as well, but shouldn't be removed I'd hope for any of those reasons.

Looking forward to a 7.0 Release (non-beta) thread soon!

My luck it'll roll out tomorrow Tue, since I'm without my MS Tue-Thr getting a scratch repainted/fixed :-/
