While this looks good and I would like to get the update, most of these things won't affect me and my 2020 MX at all. I'm very frustrated with Tesla and their in-ability to update "legacy" cars. At this point I'm not even sure that I'll ever get v12 or that it won't be severely compromised if...

Yea, I'm in the software business and I have NO idea how Tesla is numbering these releases. RNG?

I'm not sure if companies can get Federal money for installing destination chargers. My understanding was that it was for DC fast chargers, not AC destination chargers. And you're absolutely correct in that we have to still have fast DC chargers, and lots of them. I'm just not sure that they...

It would be truly interesting to see what a fossil fuel company can/will do in an all BEV future. The thinking around creating EV "gas" stations is wrong. The only way it would work is if charging speeds get down to single digit minutes or even the low teens. I think a more probable futures...

"View or Reset Tire Mileage" Awww come on! Why can't the legacy MX / MS vehicles get these features? What's so special about the new platform that we can't track our tire wear as well!? I love how Tesla constantly updates/adds features but it feels uneven at times. I mean, I have a luxury...

It looks like 2023.44.30.25 was on a real tear over the weekend but the push has slowed down somewhat today. Maybe they are pushing v12.3 into the 2024.x branch or something. 🤞 NOTE: I'm currently running 2024.2.7 so I'm not sure how a "downgrade" to 2023.44.30.25 would even work.

I wonder if this will also "fix" the Falcon Wing Doors doors on the refreshed MX cars. As I understand it the refreshed cars don't have all the sensors that the legacy MX vehicles do and the FWD have to rely on camera information to avoid obstacles. This is one reason that I like my 2020 MX...

Well, it looks like 2023.44.30.25 is really on a roll-out. It's already up to 1% of the fleet, according to the statistics page. 🎉

I'm very happy to see the turn signals get clarified. I sometimes have a hard time determining which turn signal is on at a glance, especially if the display is dark.

Funny you should mention this - https://www.notateslaapp.com/software-updates/version/2023.44.30.25/release-notes

Ooooo... I like that "One-Time Charge" option; it's a simple feature that would really come in handy. And come on USA lighting regulations - step into the 20th century!

You know, after all this time I'm super afraid that I will be disappointed. I mean, I've built it up in my head to be pretty good and I'm not sure v12 can live up to my vision. Also, I'm kinda scared that it will require v4 hardware and my 2020 MX will not be sufficient. 😱

I'm not really expecting it to be perfect (I don't think that will ever happen) but I do want to get my hands on it to give it a try. All the videos I'm seeing of v12 are AMAZING and even with it's flaws it's miles ahead of v11.

Oh, and it looks like Rivian screwed this up on the R2/R3. The connector is on the rear passenger. Arrrggghhh!!! 😡

I just watched Marques' video on the new Rivian offerings and they look really good. I mean REALLY good! I especially liked the "outdoor" things they added; camp mode turns all the screens red to help keep your night vision, you can fold down ALL the seats to make room for an air mattress, and...

Actually, I was just reading something that said the wiring and capabilities for a front bumper camera and ambient lights is built into every MX made after June 2021. So, even a not quite so new MX should be able to be retrofitted with those things ... as long as you can pay for it. 🤑

Well, it looks like I'll be pausing my non-existent purchase of a new MX. One more reason to keep my money in my bank account instead of in Tesla's pocket. :D In a couple of years though, after I get my 2020 MX paid off, I'll be bellying up to the bar to get me some new MX goodness!

Looks like 2024.2.7 and 2024.2.8 are being released in earnest. I have a big drive coming up next week; I guess I should hold of on updating to the 2024.x.y series for a bit.

I'm not sure how such a document can be enforceable. Can a manufacturer prevent you from re-selling something that they sold you? What if this was a computer, or a couch, or a TV? I'm not sure it's legal to even sign away your rights like that, at least in the US. Sure, they can put...

I think it highlights the uphill battle that traditional auto manufacturers are going to face in the near future. Building EVs is significantly different that I'm not sure any traditional manufacture will make it out alive. Sure Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, etc. will be fine and probably do...
