Model 3 Software Update 2018.42.x

[PoitNarf]

A Model 3 popped up on TeslaFi this morning with 2018.42.1 installed. Found this screenshot on reddit that has a snippet of the release notes (New Release notes - did not see this posted yet. : teslamotors):

This version also supposedly includes Navigate on Autopilot, but you need to confirm lane changes and there is no option to allow it to do lane changes on its own yet.

Some of this was reported by Electrek yesterday: Tesla starts releasing Navigate on Autopilot feature with disappointing caveat, update with UI changes

Will this fix the darn web browser and the car side swiping it on the monitor?

Also i wonder how much a fob will cost.

Looking forward to the stronger regen

I'd like to know if the increased regen is a third selectable regen setting option or if they just increased the regen for the standard setting.

It should be around the same that the FOBs for the S and X cost which I believe is somewhere around $125 to $150 (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).

Very happy they allow adding/deleting key cards now... my car only was delivered with 1, but 2 were in the computer... they sent a ranger out a couple weeks later to give me a new card and add it to the system since it required their special laptop to do it... I asked him to delete the card I never got and he wasn't able to (though thought he should have been able to).

Requiring approval for drive-on-nav to change lanes is super lame though- the car could ALREADY change lanes if I told it to.

Very excited for the increased regen. I hope it is comparable to the Roadsters which is much more aggressive.

Glad to see that the regen is mentioned as item. Maybe this will end notes from users that say they have experienced change without it being in the notes. Or going forward that Tesla won't mess with it without mentioning it. Would love three settings. Lots, some, and none. Us snow folks might like the none.

I wish I didn't have to hit the brakes at all to stop, but I guess maybe it is better that way, otherwise I might end up rear ending someone when I have to drive an ICE. Once AP can be used everywhere, that will also solve the problem too I suppose.

Pretty pricey but I would still get one.

A lot cheaper than FOBs for some other brands. I'm pretty sure I've read that FOBs for BMW or Audi can cost $300+.

Dang. I've actually never bought one before in my life so I have no idea what they typically go for.

I wonder if the regen change fixed the issue people have been having with no regen on snow tires.

The stronger regen would be nice. I hope it's a setting for those who can't handle it.

 

[run-the-joules]

I am 100% on board for stronger regen no matter how they implement it, and to go buy a fob the day I can

Electrek article sounds like it makes regen ‘normal’ but we need to get our hands on it to see. Picking up our new 3 as we speak, but I’m sure it won’t have 42. Will check on fobs though to see if I can save a trip.

Ask for 42

I hope they add a third setting. The current standard setting on the AWD is just about perfect for me. I don't want it too strong since I still have to drive gas vehicles from time to time, and adjusting to no regen gets more jarring the stronger the setting that you normally use.

Me 2! Now I can use one key card for 2 cars!

There's a low setting for those who can't.
