Release notes for Tesla vehicle firmware 2019.40.50

source

Driving Visualization Improvements (only for vehicles with HW3)​

The driving visualization can now display additional objects which include stop lights, stop signs and select road markings. The stop sign and stop light visualizations are not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. To see these additional object in your driving visualization, tap Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview.​ ​

Voice Commands​

Voice commands have been rebuilt to understand natural language. For this initial release, we focused on commands that minimize having to touch the screen so you can keep your eyes on the road. A few areas and examples of what you can say are:​ ​

  • Climate: "Set the temperature to 70", "Turn on the passenger seat heater"​
  • ​Vehicle: "Adjust my right mirror", "Open the glovebox"​
  • ​Navigation: "Let's go to work", "Where are the nearby supercharging stations"​
  • ​Media: "Play the Beatles", "Search for Joe Rogan podcast"​
  • ​Communication: "Call David Lewis", "Send a text message to Evan"​
  • ​Other: "Show me the rear camera", "Open Autopilot settings"​

Anonymized voice commands will be captured to further train and improve the system in future software updates.

Phone Improvements

You can now read and respond to text messages using your right scroll wheel button. When a new message is received press the right scroll wheel button to have your text message read out loud and press again to respond by speaking out loud. You will also be able to view messages as they come in via the "Cards" section of the touchscreen.

To view messages that have been received while your phone is connected via Bluetooth, tap the Application Laucher > Call > Messages. You can read and reply to a message by tapping an entry in the Messages list. To enable this feature, tap the Bluetooth icon on the top of the display, and enable "Sync Messages". Once enabled you can also choose to play a chime whenever a new text message is received by enabling "Chime on New Message".

Additionally, if you have favorite phone contacts on your device, you can now easily access them from the Favorites tab of the Phone app.

Note: Notifications need to be enabled on your device from the phone's Bluetooth settings to send and receive text messages. Due to the limitations of Bluetooth support from your device, you will not be able to send group messages. As usual, Bluetooth behavior may depend on make and model of your device.​ ​

Camp Mode​

Your car can now maintain airflow, temperature, interior lighting, as well as play music, and power devices when Camp Mode is enabled. To enable Camp Mode, tap the fan icon at the bottom of the touchscreen and set Keep Climate On to CAMP while your car is in PARK. Big batteries rock.​ ​

Tesla Theater​

You can now watch Twitch in the Tesla Theater app. To launch Tesla Theater, tap the Entertainment icon in the Application Launcher and select the Theater tab while your car is in PARK.​

Note: Premium Connectivity is required to stream videos over cell. To subscribe to Premium Connectivity, please visit your Tesla Account online.

You've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew VAlley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home?

Backgammon

Two players, two sides, one is light, one is dark. Play Backgammon against your passenger or challenge your Tesla to a game. Move by dragging and dropping the checker pieces during your turn.

To access TRAX, tap on the Application Launcher > Toybox > TRAX icon.

Save Dashcam Clips on Honk
