Model 3 Software Update 2018.50.x

Exactly this. Also for all of us that have kids, being able to use that massive screen for entertainment as we wait to pick them up or for those who have spouses, would be great to be able to wait in the car as they shop and we watch a movie with the Model 3 surround sound and AC on. Hardware is already there so why not!

Maybe on Wifi, but couldn't see them wanting people to stream movies on Netflix over the car's data connection.

Yes. And walk away lock doesn't lock my car while it is in my garage at home.

If your car isn't lock, someone could just hop in the car and drive it away right?

I just wished I could play video files off my usb drive.

Anyone have 50.5 release notes?

Mine does.

I wouldn't mind teathering my Model 3 off my phone for Netflix movies. I have unlimited data..

I wouldn't even need the cars GSM data.

Hmmm....I wonder if the cars browser would patch itself over to a wifi connection or is it married to the cars GSM data connection.

Looks like I have an experiment to do at lunch time.

Updated my LeMR and now I’m on 2018.50.5 c9323af. Interestingly I “gained” about 4 miles range immediately after the update and I wasn’t charging. Maybe the battery simply recalculated or maybe it’s because they “raised” the LeMR range to 264 and now the battery calculates differently?

Whats the deal?

I did supercharge the other day with no cable unlock.

It unlocks outside in the cold, however mine does not unlock when I go to the semi-inside supercharger.

If you hop on over to Chicago...I'll show you.

What is this a response to? Don't know anything about Supercharger unlocks, it's 50° outside here.

After getting a new wifi set up at home a couple weeks ago (that can reach my car outside) I finally went from 44 to 50.5 last night. The fart machine works and I got try it out on someone already. Can't wait for the Y chromosomes in the house to get in the car next. . I guess I should check out the 'real' changes too...

I used the passcode on mine so, while they could get into the vehicle they wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.

What version has passcode?

 

[Zaxxon]

Also, unlocked != driveable. Just because it's unlocked does not imply it'll drive away without a phone key or keycard in the vehicle.

I believe Pin to Drive was introduced in 2018.48 on the 3.

 

[Donz_S]

What version has passcode?

Sorry, I called it a passcode. It is “pin to drive”. It’s been available since....mmm, don’t remember. But, I use it in lieu of worrying about locking. I don’t store anything in the car and maybe (just maybe) it will save a broken out window someday.

Cool, I'll check it out once I get home. I think it's a pretty neat feature.

Do you think people would try the door to see if it'll open before smashing the window?

I'm tempted to put my back seat down to prevent my windows from being smashed, but I'm not sure people would look inside first before smashing.

Thieves trying the door before smashing window? My (non-thief) guess is that that is what I would do first to try and avoid detection. If locked, then I’d resort to breaking in.

Back seat down? I’ve done (and on occasion continue to do) that as well. I’m hoping that they are browsing cars for content. When they see no content, they leave. When they see a closed compartment, it begs their curiosity and this a broken window.

That’s my two cents worth.
