In a 40 mile drive today, the large display rebooted 7 times and then during a short 3 mile drive, it rebooted once. The car has been fully off for a few hours so I'll test again later.
I drove about 37 miles total today. No reboots today or any other day since I got 8.0.
I don't use USB music for day to day driving (only on long trips when connectivity is bad), so that might have something to do with the stabilty.

Finally got 8.0 today (108).
I have noticed that the seats are more comfortable.

My sunroof was a lot brighter today, too. Oh, but wait, it was somehow 95º here today!

It appears that the distribution of .108 was halted today (only 4 reports, vs. tens-hundreds on the previous days).

Thanks for that but yeah the exhaust fumes are nauseating as I drive a '13 P85+ with no advanced filtration :/
In some countries you cannot turn off the head lights unless you are in P (park).
Also the 'camper mode' requires to be in neutral so the car cannot be connected to a charger. So even if you find a charger to plug in over night, you won't be able to charge if you want to use 'camper mode'.
I smell alphabetical shortcuts are coming back! please....
The USB input is not an antiquated technology, but an important tool for those of us who want a higher quality audio experience including listening to high resolution audio files, listening to complete albums in the order they are supposed to be played, and having large libraries. Try finding playing Pink Floyd's Wall, or Chopin's Preludes in proper order over Slacker. The 7.1 interface was not great, but the 8.0 takes a major step backwards, getting rid of the alphabetical index. We should be moving forward with a search capability and the system should remember where we were, rather than taking us back to the beginning of the alphabet every time we do something new.

8.0 (2.36.108) release appears to be a really rushed, buggy even dangerous release. For those of you who have not received it yet consider yourself fortunate. My suggestion is wait for another update.

I've not seen anything that suggests it's a dangerous release, and it's clear the crashing everyone was seeing yesterday was not 8.0 but some other live information-related crash (no update needed to fix the crashing).

I have. The new AP swerves all around the lanes straight across the lines into the rumble strips on straight flat highway. I know it's beta software but after 20k miles of driving previously I can't keep it on the road for more than 30-45 seconds before having to take over. Maybe this update has uncovered a problem with my radar or something but i never had the problem before so it seems very related to the update, and it quite dangerous.
People here are talking about getting warnings, which must mean that it works for some people. But i would strongly recommend not upgrading till they do a little more testing.
I finally got a message back from Tesla service so hopefully they will be able to do something, but at this point AP I'm disabling the feature for obvious safety concerns.

You should see a service center. My 8.0 autosteering behaves identically to 7.1. So close that I can't identify a measurable difference. Spent 15 minutes on the highway this morning. Solid the whole way.
The dangerous refers to trying to use the USB player while driving. It's maddening.

For sure, almost emotionally blew a gasket on that one and shot a rod out my engine block!
