I honestly never get tired of seeing my car get software updates.

Posted by TWuG Jul 31 '20, 21:35

It's on 2020.28.6 The 6th version of the 28th build of 2020.

Things it's gotten recently:

Side camera views when using the rear camera (so when in reverse or when calling up the rear camera while driving).

The passenger AC vent now defaults to off if there is no one in the front passenger seat. Rear seat AC has worked that way since I got the car.

Improved surface street Autopilot. Car handles stops more smoothly and will follow a lead car through a green light. It still treats all stop signs/signals as "full stop" unless there's a lead car (for a light) or if the driver approves ignoring the signal by depressing the gearshift.

There have been games added, and streaming services, too.

An upcoming update will highlight other Teslas with accurate color/model depictions on the screen.

A lot of this is just little things that are window dressing, but they really do add to the enjoyment of the car.

have they ever 'improved' something that ruined something you liked the way it was? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 31, 22:31 1

As compared to the ones I saw in the village tonight :) I'll take the '57 Chevy or the 72 Dodge Charger. -- nm - Meg Jul 31, 22:01
Games added? To play while autopilot is on? -- nm - jnine Jul 31, 21:56 3
- No. Only while in park. I can stream YouTube and Netflix, as well. - TWuG Jul 31, 22:28 2
