Model s sentry mode

[zaako]

I just talked to customer service chat about an issue and then I asked her if sentry mode was out for model s and she said yes it came out 3 days ago.
Is she mistaken?

• This is sentry and dog mode and I believe the location specific folding mirror update.

Very few cars have this update so far, Model S or not. Elon tweeted a few days ago release would ramp up “next week”.

As I was reading this, I got a phone app notification that the update is available. Said 1 hour and 40 minutes to install.

‘An’ update.... more people getting 2019.4 than 2019.5 still.

There was a mass release of 2018.50.6 a few days ago which had many peoples' hopes up (mine included). But there was nothing new in the release notes. Apparently all the new goodies are in the 2019.xx.x firmware.

The Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker is showing that's just starting to trickle out now.

And from what I'm seeing else where the new stuff may only apply to 2.5 hardware.

This week is "next week"

This week is "next week"

Next week is always “next week” in Elon Standard Time.

I have priority updates so I’m hoping I get the update soon I thought it was only out for model 3 though so far (sentry mode)

 

[ucmndd]

I have priority updates

That’s a thing?

 

[Asterix187]

At least one public car got it last week so Elon’s ‘this week’ comment was technically correct. He didn’t say everyone would get it.

@zaako what are priority updates and who told you you had them?

For 4 referrals you receive priority updates. It’s in my lootbox

Yup. This happened to me a few days ago. Got the in-app notification of a new version and thought I'd get 2019.xx...but only got 2018.50.6 with nothing new in the release notes.

Next week is always “next week” in Elon Standard Time.

there is no clock or calendar on this world which can accurate predict Elon Standard time, even the Revised Julian calendar could not accurately measure Elon Standard time.

Sentry mode blue balls- Checking only 10x a day. Looks like very few cars to date have received it.... Up there with my imaginary Spoiler!

 

[emmz0r]

Also - only Model 3s seem to get it. It's like a newer macbook air would get an update before a macbook pro... doesn't make sense.
S/X is the flagship, they better act like it too.

 

[Kevin Bohacz]

I feel the same way. Why are the flag ship products not getting this update at the same time or before the Model 3? Is there some technical issue?

The contrary -- they know we S/X owners are very high maintenance and that the sentry update has been VERY buggy (read those posts), so effectively they're using the 3 owners as field beta testers for a firmware that they really don't think we'd want yet.

Imagine if we had gotten those updated ahead of 3. This thread would be entitled: "I Paid $110k for my Tesla and got this piece of junk firmware!!"

Sure, but I haven't seen a wider rollout of the supposedly bugfixed software for S/X yet.

still more bugs to quash and possibly additional features to add...
