First Model X with 8.0

You mean other than letting you know when you need to get up and walk out to your car to schedule the update. It seems to me it can save you a lot of the "is it here yet" hassle.

I suppose, but I'm not waiting on the update with bated breath. It seems like if it alerts me that an update is available, I should be able to accept and schedule the update on the phone. Right now I press the alert and it just takes me to the Tesla app, which has no indication or action item about the update. Just seems like a weird customer journey.

Perhaps it a bit of a safety issue. If you could launch it remotely you might accidentally do it while somebody was using it thus trapping them for almost 2 hours. Not in the car of course but perhaps at the store.

It would be nice if it said what the update was though.

Consider the extra step as location based three factor authentication.

I think that could be easily geofenced to your home location. Certainly it would restrict the software from being updated while the car is being driven.

I don't really see much of a defense for it and for the other limited functionality of the mobile app. You can't even roll the windows up or down or change the driver profile from the app. Both of those seem like they should be basic functions.

You can't open the windows but you can move the car from the app

You can. My car doesn't go anywhere with the app.

Firmware tracker currently shows only 12 reports of 8.0 update. All are model S. Looks like the X is not being updated right now.

 

[Nerdy_Engineer]

Yeah, it looks like Tesla is starting the rollout with the S. I haven't seen anyone on the forums, Facebook, or Twitter with the 8.0 update on a Model X yet...

... And all in Switzerland? Does that seem kinda weird to anyone else?

EDIT: Whoops, misread, only 1 in Switzerland.

 

[Jgdixon]

I was told a few weeks out for the X.

I was told a few weeks out for the X.

That's a bummer if it's true. Who were you told that by?

 

[EV-lutioin]

I won't be me, I have owned my MX for 5 months and have never received an update notification

That is disgusting...

 

[Maaz]

Hey the model x is still new for me. I wouldn't mind a new change for another 6 months haha.

Really, I get two a month

At least for the iPhone, you have to have Notifications enabled for the app in Settings to get firmware update and charging status notifications.

My X is making clicking noises and pulling data from the wifi, I hope this means

 

[X Fan]

I was told a few weeks out for the X.

FWIW: TeslaFi shows two registered x90's with 8.0 installed. Perhaps testers....
