Can't help with that. Don't think my S60 ever had chill mode (or needed it).Has anyone with a Classic Model S installed the latest release 2018.48.12.1 on their car and could share their experience with this version?
In the general thread the main topic seems to be about AP behavior which is kind of irrelevant for the older cars and I would be much more interested in things like:
- Has "Chill Mode" been fixed and introduced again?
My understanding is that we don't have Spotify in the USA. The streaming music we do have works well enough and in the same way for me as V8.1. So, can't help with this question.•Any issues with streaming music (Spotify)?
USB works well for me but those who complain about it have truly gigantic music collections and/or apparently have difficulties with sorting using album or artist views, album picture displays, and the like. I converted all my files to FLAC long ago and arranged them in folders (so that a folder has a single symphony in it and it plays the movements in the correct order, for example). I then always use folder view and everything works fine. Pause works. File usually resumes when I return to the car but will sometimes start over under certain conditions. Shuffle in a particular folder works fine.•Any issues with music from USB?
Once in awhile the IC nav screen will flip (reset) briefly when the turn instructions change but it isn't a problem and doesn't interfere with using navigation at all. Otherwise it works fine.•How is stability of the instrument cluster while in navigation?
Yes and no. Yes the percent charge at destination shows all the time, assuming that the destination is visible in the list. Under some views the destination can be hidden by a long list of turn-by-turn instructions but it is still there if one scrolls to the bottom. As is the %SOC at destination.•Is "charge % on arrival" shown constantly while navigating on the big screen?
The browser works but I use it so rarely I can't comment on whether it is better or worse than 8.1. It seems to be the same in my limited tests. The onscreen manual also works (it didn't a couple of versions ago).•Is the browser working better/worse as on the latest v8.1 release?
Don't know. I just use the phone app to turn charging on or off and monitor charge level. I also use it to change the charge level (but not the rate).•Are the issues with displaying "scheduled charging" and charging amps in the APP been fixed?
So far as I know I don't have this, so I don't know.•Have the issues with "fluctuating" between Dolby Surround and Immersive Sound and persistence been fixed?
The main complaint has been that the map is always up and in the background and that you can't use two other apps unless the bottom one is the media player. You can display an app near the top of the screen if the bottom one is the media player and the latter can be adjusted in size. The browser can be expanded to almost full screen (more than three quarters). People who don't want to drive with the map or media player on display are quite upset. There are some complaints that the climate control manual control buttons are less capable and harder to use. I agree, but I nearly always use climate control on auto and turn it on or off, and adjust temperature, from the right steering wheel knob so it doesn't matter much for me.•Other issues I haven't mentioned?
In general, the early bugs have been fixed. However, the ability to control which apps are on display is more limited than in 8.1 and I presume that this was done to make the display more like the Model 3 for software simplification purposes. Whether or not it is a big step backward depends somewhat on which apps one normally chooses to use. For me, the apps I want are available when and where I want them, so it works fine for me. Others differ.I still haven't updated and just received yet another notification about a software update (expect it to be 2018.48.12.1) and I am starting to get tempted since there now are quite a few new feature available. But seeing so many reports about bugs as well as design changes I am not too fond of and considering I am currently on a relatively stable version which works well I am still hesitant.
I updated to 2018.48.12.1 yesterday. I can answer some of your questions:Has anyone with a Classic Model S installed the latest release 2018.48.12.1 on their car and could share their experience with this version?

Installed last night....Has everyone got the new 48 update? I feel like I’m behind currently on 42.3
No Chill mode here either.I updated to 2018.48.12.1 yesterday. I can answer some of your questions:
- No Chill Mode on my car
- Don't have Spotify, but no new issues with streaming
- Same issues as before with USB music - slow to load new tracks or sometimes loading errors
- Same issue on the instrument cluster with the map spinning sometimes when stopping and starting
- Charge % on arrival shows, but it always worked for me
- Haven't tried the browser on this version; it worked fine on 2018.46.2
- The app shows "Charging Scheduled" when appropriate. This was fixed in the previous firmware version
- I don't have premium audio and don't know about the Dolby/Immersive issue.
- No other new issues seen so far
YesAre you guys able to schedule service from app? I’m on 48.12 and I don’t have the option
Had it briefly - clicked on it and it seemed to hang. Now it's gone.Are you guys able to schedule service from app? I’m on 48.12 and I don’t have the option
Oh hmmm, yeah it's gone for me now too... :/Had it briefly - clicked on it and it seemed to hang. Now it's gone.
I also still haven't made the jump to v9. Thanks to @dgpcolorado, @Peter_M and @BigNick for providing feedback to some of my questions back in December.
Some time ago, when the latest version of the APP has been released (I believe it was early January) I noticed some functions stopped working:
I saw some other threads where this is mentioned by other owners. Does any of you (whether still on v8.1 or already on v9) experience this? Did any of you resolve these?
- No "charging completed" notification
- Preheating does no longer defrost rear and front windows at lower temperatures
Some suggestions were to reinstall the APP (no effect for me). Reboot of the MCU did not help (I haven't tried one of the deeper reboot methods yet).
From what I see, this does not seem to be a problem of the car firmware (as also v9 users are affected) and I don't think it is the APP. I still have my pervious iPhone with the APP version 3.5.3 installed and experience the same issues there. So, indications point towards the mothership.
