Firmware 8.0

[AmpedRealtor]

I'm leaning more to it being the software ON the MCU rather than the hardware itself as the reason why it's so slow, laggy and needs to be rebooted often. Memory leaks, inefficient coding, etc, can all be contributing factors.

^^ this

My MCU sped up after deleting a bunch of navigation destinations (a hundred or so). I'm leaning towards sloppy programming. First of all, a list of navigation destinations should have zero impact on performance, but the fact that Tesla doesn't put a practical limit on the navigation history to the detriment of performance shows me just how sloppy they can be.

A prime example of bad coding: Tesla's web browser. It's a totally unusable piece of sh*t.

When I took delivery of my car in 2013, there were no lag issues and I didn't have to reboot my computer for the first year of ownership. It was rock solid back then. Only after updating the software several times did I start experiencing wonky behavior requiring occasional reboots. My money is on the software.

Waarom niet? Als je even stopt om iets te regelen? Op warme dagen kan de temperatuur verbazend snel hoog oplopen, zelfs binnen de 10 min. Dit is een goede feature dat ik zeker zal gebruiken. (en ik heb het over dieren, niet jonge kinderen ;-) )

Is het gewoon ook niet energiezuiniger om het interieur op een bepaalde temperatuur te houden dan na een uur stoppen een helemaal opgewarmd interieur te moeten afkoelen. Je merkt dat zelf ook als je op een stikhete dag uit je garage rijdt blijft de wagen lekker koel zonder veel inspanning, maar zet dan een half uur de airco af en je krijgt nooit meer dat gevoel terug omdat alle materialen intussen warm staan en dat krijg je niet met wat airco weg.

So for all the people running 8.0 already, and signed NDA's, when are they free to start sharing more info? When the rollout starts?

I'm also assuming that other sites like electrek and insideevs have stories waiting to go, and are just waiting for the allowed moment to release them.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but a lot of those can be done in 7.1 I think?

I can set a favorite by long-pressing on the map and clicking on the "heart" icon associated with that pop-up address to add it to favorites (it can also be renamed).

Chargers can be brought up with a lightning bolt icon now I think? Any difference?

Regarding the press/swipe for home - that is obviously new. I've found I like the simple voice command "take me home" which works very well.

I was gonna say the same thing lol.

FYI to all who are commenting on seat belt positioning issues, I think its related to the new generation seats.

Refer to my post:
Difference between Multi-Pattern & Next Generation Seats?

PS The seatbelt adjuster I got from Amazon worked fine

Yeah I have seats from April 2015, they weren't next gen seats but they're also a version old I believe.

Super.... 141 posts over .... niks eigenlijk; want niemand had "hem".

Begin maar een nieuwe draadje over "the real 8.0"

Ik heb er toch minstens twee langs zien komen die 8.0 wel hebben

Ik heb er toch minstens twee langs zien komen die 8.0 wel hebben

Ik zag er drie, waarvan 1 het niet zelf zei...

It's not, unfortunately. Tesla's updates are currently still push only, where Tesla decides who gets what.

But since we're leaking 8.0 info, I'll express my dislike for it with one image:

I think the wording is wrong. It should say "Hold Steering Wheel and drive manually" given that you always have to hold steering wheel - in AP mode or not.

I think the wording is wrong. It should say "Hold Steering Wheel and drive manually" given that you always have to hold steering wheel - in AP mode or not.

But the reason you would get that screen is because you weren't holding the steering wheel.

Ik heb er 1 met 8.0
Is wel een classic, zonder hoedenplank.

I bet it was you who filed the APAR against "this page intentionally left blank" that led to IBM changing it to "this page intentionally left blank other than this notice".

Yippie!! As a CICS Systems Programmer/Engineer, this talk about IBM and APARs is making me feel like a kid at Disney World!

Yeah, well, as that same sorta guy as a customer more than 35 years ago, then working for Big Blue more than 30 years, I couldn't agree more. I saw @jgs reference "APAR", and well, knew there were still people keeping the spirit alive.

CICS? I'll BDAMed.

 

[jgs]

I knew you guys would understand.

So I got the 8.0 update download and installed (no longer the icon for start schedule update, notification from MyTesla app). When I go to the car it's still on 7.x.

What am I missing? This is my first Tesla update and Google results aren't helping me / coming back with just stories about the update(s).

 

[LastGas]

Are you sure it was 8.0 you downloaded and not the security patch that came out a day or so ago?

 

[Tech_Guy]

I got an update today as well, to 7.1 2.36.31 you can check the version under the T in the center top of the touch screen. Tesla pushed this update out to everyone as it contains a security patch to protect your car from hackers.

 

[Canuck]

After you get an update, it tells you what's new and improved. You probably got what I just got and it said something like bug fixes.

When you do get 8.0 you will know it and you won't have to ask.

 

[DavidP100DL]

Thanks. It must of been a 7.x patch and not 8.0. I didn't think to check the version number before I patched to compare to the version after I patched, because I was all excited thinking it was 8.

Many thanks.
