Model 3 Master Firmware Updates List and pre 2018.12 discussion

[LucyferSam]

Has anyone been testing how long the remote climate control will stay on before it turns off? Many versions ago the climate control would shut off automatically after 30 minutes, but doesn't seem to be the case on 10.5.

Car was showing 124 degrees outside so I turned on climate control to cool it off a bit. 36 minutes later I remembered to check, and AC was still going! I shut it off and lost 11 miles in the process. Oops.

ETA: IIRC, an actual setting for camper/continuous climate control has never really been implemented on the 3 but I could be wrong.

I was deliberately using it once to keep the car warm while having dinner (had orchids in the car and it was in the teens outside), and had to turn it back on at about the 30 min mark. I wasn't paying quite close enough attention to give you more detail than that, and that was way back on 2017.50.12

This is one of my "big four", along with summon, autopilot controls on the right scroll wheel (allegedly in 2018.10.12, hopefully we get it soon), and wifi.

Exactly what I'm waiting for as well!

@LucyferSam funny enough the manual still says this:

When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate control system, it automatically turns off after 30 minutes. To cool or heat the cabin for a longer period, you must turn it on again.

Definitely NOT the case I experienced.

double posting this (also in the AP2.0 thread) for those that may not pay attention to the AP thread...

(ETA: with FW 18.12)

Wait. Which update is this? I have 10.5 and no autopilot. The scroll wheel doesn’t work for the basic cruise. I would think they would enable that for basic cruise too

This supposedly is the next update, not 10.5.

Ok, so does this go along with the maps update this weekend or is that only for S and X?

Good question, don't know the answer unfortunately. I don't think we'll know until someone compares the 3 to the S/X version.

I will let you guys know what I find out. I just finished my update & I now have the right scroll wheel for cruise speed & following distance. I haven't driven the car yet but I am about to & will jump back on here & confirm if the maps update was included! Super stoked by the scroll wheel update - can't wait to try it!

Whoot!!! Can't wait to hear about it!

P.S. I am so jealous of you right now, just so you know.

Oh man. No notification but I gotta go check the car now!

Dang it! Nothing but at least I got this view!

How long did the update take?

Ok so here is what I can share:
1. I didn't notice a maps difference but I only drove it down 1 exit on the highway - doesn't seem different & one feature I am hoping they add that is still the same (which makes me think I haven't gotten the map update yet) is the exit number being displayed on the screen - it audibly says "now exit right at exit 106" but the map doesn't display the exit number. Soooooo I don't think this is the new maps update.
2. Lane change in autopilot is BUTTER now! Huge improvement & feels incredible & activates the lane change much quicker as well...anyone else experience the blinker being on for 7-8 seconds before it changed lanes - didn't do that to me tonight & much smoother.
3. The BIG DADDY improvement - the scoll wheel is awesome. One click up increases speed 1 mph. A quick/fast swipe up or down adjusts speed by 5 mph! Really smooth & intuitive.
Clicking left on the right scroll wheel increases following distance & right click decreases following distance (see my pic)

Noice!

 

[SoFlaModel3]

You're right that is annoying. I echo @SoFlaModel3 -- I haven't experienced this problem. However, I use the J1172 adapter. I will try to pay more attention. It does seem like something Tesla could fix though!

Sure enough I just had the issue. This is exactly what I hated about walk up unlock “off” and now with 10.5 it’s forced to be off. I suppose it’s the trade off for the car not doing the dance repeatedly but annoying nonetheless.

What was the full FW # & build ID? I'd seen it was a 2018.12.?, but that was it.

 

[garsh]

I think it would be better if you walked up to the car and the charge port unlocked so you could remove it then get into your car. Not vice Versa.

If the charge port unlocking requires you to have your "phone key" on your person, that would be ok.

But I'd like to at least have the option to not allow just anybody to remove the charger. When I'm at a J1772 public charging station, I want the car to remain locked onto the J1772 adapter so that nobody runs off with it.

 

[Reliev]

does anyone know when scheduling is enabled? maybe that can prevent this.. is it a bug or a feature that is shutting off?

I hope someday they allow an option to leave the car unlocked at home. Mine is always in the garage. For now can you unlock the car from the app after you get home and have it stay unlocked? or does it auto-lock itself after some period of time? I'd prefer to have an easy way to leave it unlocked at home without having to dig through the menu and turn off "walk away lock" each time I get home.

Yeah that would be an interesting idea!
