I goofed on the date of the time stamp. It was actually 9/5/16. less than a half hour ago. I made the correction as I had typed 9/15/16.

Man I hope they fix that USB-music-keeps-playing-in-background-while-car-is-off bug.The media player was the most striking change. It's been totally redone.
What sort of things outside of that are you looking for? Anything specific?
More voice seems to be a common request. And of course, Nav improvements. Those are the ones that come to mind offhand.
I'm not! People in this forum have been "cutting Elon slack" since 2012 and excusing his every misstep. It's now 2016 and Musk needs to start acting like a real CEO. That means hitting forecasts and delivering on deadlines. He shouldn't be in such a position if he can't do these two basic things. Investors have lost confidence in Tesla as has much of the media. Much of the media's criticism of Tesla comes from unforced errors by Musk himself. He suffers from chronic verbal diarrhea.I am quite willing to cut Elon some slack right now. I suspect "weekends" have been only a dictionary entry for him for some time.
You guys are rather staid in your attitudes. If Tesla operated such as you are suggesting then we wouldn't have the S and the X, and the 3 would Pie in the Sky. This company is where it is because of EM driving it there. The blog post will happen, just not for your personal edification. The CEO sending out an inspirational email is just that - inspirational. One can destroy that by watering it down the hierarchy -- it wouldn't be as effective. His job is to direct and inspire the company with his vision ... he has done a great job so far. He wants to demonstrate profitability when it isn't swamped out by investment -- is that a problem?
That email Elon sent asking for better 3Q performance is exhibit A showing how bad Elon's management skills are. In a functional organization, you work with your direct reports, outline the issue (gotta perform in Q3), instruct them to meet the goal, ask if you can help remove impediments to that goal, negotiate what resources they need, give them the negotiated help/resources.
Instead Elon is undercutting his senior mangement team's authority and ability to manage their own organizations by continually interfering with the entire organization. Sleeping on the QA line is laudable from a leadership perspective, but horrible from a management perspective. Why didn't Elon get the head of QA to sleep there? Why isn't he empowering his senior management to act as leaders instead of continually undercutting them?
That email also completely undercuts Elon insistence that Tesla doesn't manage quarter by quarter. It shows he is as much of a slave to quarterly numbers as any maligned CEO in corporate America. The fact that the email says that the Q3 numbers will basically be window dressing for a financing round doesn't help.
I suspect that this is low on the list. The focus is on pushing the cutting edge of AP. Elon doesn't care about play lists an phone number s.How about my vote for an easy feature revision that they could have done years ago -- when you pull up the phone list on the steering wheel that says "Recent" and "Contacts" or "Phone Book" ( I forget which), add a listing for "Favorites" at the top. That would save a lot of effort and be safer than the usual fishing around.I'll settle for being able to pick only five favorites from the Contacts list on the big screen.
