Firmware 8.0

[NikeWings]

The Front vs. Rear air controls and the fan speed of the seats gave it away in the first pic.

I did notice the controls and without dwelling on it, assumed that the S was getting a boost. I still think a slightly better angle exists for the X, with a deeper turn, similar to the website but I suppose they don't dwell on such things.

Good insights from Ingineer as usual, thanks for posting......I'm expecting geofencing queues any day now.

I know a couple people with the rear facing seats that would love such a boost. Even more so if it could happen via software! I'm happy we are still getting updates on our existing hardware though. And some customization to boot!

I know I know, shoot me, I really wasn't thinking.......can't you tell I was obsessed with the picture?

It's all good. I'd be just as excited if I was less cynical!

Ummm, you are holding out on any high expectations for the forthcoming I presume?

More pics from Electrek:

First look at Tesla v8.0 software update with UI overhaul, improved Autopilot visualisation, and more


EDIT: Have to say, I really like the new UI. A much better looking flat UI than 7. Particularly the bottom bar. And stronger regen <3 <3 <3

Agree with you, but the "slightly stronger deceleration" ought to be interesting. I already thought it was a bit strong on the freeway deceleration and a bit slow recovering.

Wow, so happy that we can now select what Trip Odos to display on the IC -- huge improvement that I definitely complained about to them when 7.0 was released.

Also the entire UI still is flat, but it does looks better than 7.x. So a few more points there.

Thanks @Ingineer for the preview!

 

[HankLloydRight]

So if I select to turn off the main Odo in the IC, does it put battery SOC in its place (like it used to be)?

 

[Ingineer]

Battery SOC stays there I think. I got the improvement to regen message, but didn't really notice it. It's slight. At least this time there won't be people complaining they reduced regen! =)

 

[Cosmacelf]

Ingineer, any changes in the nav that you can see?

 

[Model S M.D.]

Nav waypoints and supercharger status would have been nice! Great info as always @Ingineer

 

[HankLloydRight]

I think it needs just one more option...

 

[msnow]

Thanks Ingineer! No Nav improvements (mentioned in the first leak)? That article mentioned improved accuracy, waypoints, route selection. Very disappointed if they left this out.....again! @Ingineer - did you check out Navigstion?

Screenshots dankzij @Ingineer

Weergave in IC is ook aanpasbaar geworden:

Laten we vooral hier NIET gaan posten als je de update nog NIET hebt.
(Ik heb hem nog NIET)

Ok

(ik post dus wel)

Yes, 103.53.1 is indeed an EAP version of 8.0.

I've played with it quite a bit today. AP is improved, but it's nothing earth shattering.

The CID is definitely less laggy. The browser is the same crappy thing, but in general they have squeezed out a bit more performance. It's helped that they've turned off the horrendous amount of syslog logging that used to be happening in the background.

In the US we get to keep Slacker (at least in this version), in the EU it's still spotify.

It's the same basic UI that's been reskinned again. The navigation will go full screen when you are driving and use ALL the screen real estate, hiding the 2 bars at the top.

The Media player has been redone. Seems to work much better and the UI is nice.

Thanks, @Ingineer !

Still no CarPlay, I assume...

Can we hope for 8.1?

About 45 minutes ago, I received a software update notification. First time in a couple of months. Hmmm....

I know we can't avoid the whole very subjective "I hate it" or "I love it" debate over the UI that is sure to happen again as it did repetitively for so long last time.

...but I must say, assuming Electrek's IC display image is what we're going to receive, I'm hugely disappointed that Elon/Tesla once again prioritized the Toy Car AP Display remaining in it's present location, vs moving the MORE IMPORTANT speed, TACC, AP On/Off, and key idiot lights beneath it -- so 100% of drivers could better see those critical safety and usability items on the IC display. Some of us have discussed this concern/suggestion in more detail elsewhere.

I see this as another example supporting my belief that Tesla does not consider it's whole present+future driver population as well as it should, in part perhaps because Elon does not care about real usability things effecting a smaller population unless pressed by the NHTSA or via negative press. His priority is AP front-and-center over most everything else, and continued low-and-center placement of the toy car display demonstrates it. (Yes, I did send a specific email suggestion on this subject to Tesla last Fall, and I'm 5'-11" and not alone in this concern from other comments on this forum.) It appears continued sore shoulders are in store for me when driving my MS on road trips, as I sit with the steering wheel too high, seat too low and further back than any other vehicle I've owned -- just so I can see how fast I'm driving and the TACC/AP indicators. As much as I'm OK being somewhat of a guinea pig with most changes Tesla provides, I still cherish my first 2-weeks of pre-AP ownership with 6.2, just because my physical MS driving experience was so much more enjoyable.
