Tesla is sure rolling out these software updates no sooner did I get the 2019 dot
8.4 Update I now have the 2019 dot 12 update and
this one has some special stuff in it especially for s and X owners and what's
new in this up there we go now navigate an autopilot got a update
and that is we no longer need to confirm there was let's change a display here to
date time I usually make my displays at
nighttime all the time and Wow does daytime introduce some
nasty nasty wagon wheeling
so navigate on autopilot can now make lane changes without requiring the
driver to confirm the suggested lane change to turn off lane change
confirmations go to controls autopilot customize navigation require lane change
conformation and set it to no okay so this is on by default holy crap I'm a
little surprised with that you can now adjust how you prefer to be notified by
adjusting lane change notifications with this release you can also enable
navigation on autopilot at the start of each route where the feature is
available by setting enable at the start of every trip to yes note with
confirmation turned off lane changes will only be made once we've confirmed
that the drivers hands are on the wheel disabling lane confirmation does not
abdicate the driver of their responsibility to keep their hands on
the wheel be engaged at all times and carefully monitor their car surroundings
so let's go into settings here and go to autopilot customize navigate on
autopilot and navigate on autopilot already on enable at the start of every
trip yeah why would you not require lane change confirmation no this does not
make your vehicle autonomous you must continue to keep your hands on the wheel
and monitor your vehicle surrounding zone ah my arm or lawyer speak because
some people are effing idiots
lane change disable lane change notification you may choose to disable
the lane change notification for automatically initiated lane changes but
you must be aware that lane changes may happen quickly and at any time disabling
the lane change notification does not alleviate the driver of their
responsibility to keep their hands on the wheel and carefully monitor the
vehicle surroundings you know what I actually want to leave that on at least
until I'm used to it so that is pretty cool
see customize summon some distance clearing standard tight okay so I did
not get let's go back to what we got here
software updates you can now view details about your vehicle software by
tapping controls software in addition to your current software version you can
see when there is a new software update a package available to be downloaded a
download progress pillar is displayed once your car is connected to Wi-Fi
after the download is complete you will continue to be able to schedule when to
software when to install the software update or install it immediately let's
take a quick look here we've got a new software tab Model X 75d release notes
and nothing else is downloading at the moment so because I just got it tesla
atari tesla atari has been improved to make games even more fun to play each
game has been enhanced for full screen gameplay in addition to improved
touchscreen controls to play a game tap the team blah blah blah we all know that
ready we've also added new games including 2048 and super breakout here's
another big one I did not have before sentry mode sentry mode continuously
monitors your car's surroundings while it's locked and parked when enabled the
car automatically enters the standby state with its camera and sensors remain
powered to detect potential threats and trigger the appropriate response state
alert or alarm to an Able Seaman controls safety and security sentry mode
if a minimal threat detection is detected such as someone leaning in your
car sentry mode switches to alert state displaying a message on your touchscreen
indicating cameras are recording if a major threat is detected such as someone
breaking a window sentry mode switches to the alarm state in this state car
alarm activates the audio system generates loud and unexpected sound the
message on the touchscreen increases to maximum brightness and you receive
notification on your mobile app Century mode requires more than 20% battery to
operate if your battery falls below 20% while this features active sentry mode
turns off and you receive a notification on your mobile app note sentry mode is
designed to enhance the security of your car but cannot protect your car from all
possible threats and that was safety and security sentry mode so this is another
new one for me what we got here security alarm passive cabin overheat oh here we
go and this is basically a reiteration of what I just read loud music sentry
mode will send recorded footage to Tesla for temporary backup and feature
improvement you can able or disable this collection at any time via the data
sharing video clip setting in controls setting safety and security this is
awesome now this is absolutely spectacular on Tesla's part I got open
the other window cuz I'm friggin roasting in here is really hot out today
and we're getting snow tomorrow or Wednesday T's Monday century mode will
send recorded footage to Tesla so that means since the footage is actually
recorded onto a USB Drive that will be plugged into your USB ports so that way
if someone steals you know whoever they broke into your car just reaches in and
grabs that USB Drive out and takes off with it they can oh now they don't have
anything they don't have my picture or anything it will send it to Tesla so you
can get a copy of it even if they steal you are recording memory drive that
right there is gold and Tesla you guys are starting to impress me again thank
you this is yeah so um let's see sentry mode
enable but I don't know what kind of I've you know what I'm gonna leave that
off for now cuz I got to get a USB memory drive for for this vehicle I
don't have one in here yet so additional language support your touchscreen
navigation voice guidance now available in additional language is to change the
language simply go to controls display language or navigation language please
note your vehicle must be in park to change language selection auto steer
staff light warning I had this in the previous release and I tried my darndest
I could not get it to make any alerts but it does say this release contains
minor improvements and bug fixes cool so maybe I can get it to work today because
again after this video is done I am going to go out and we're gonna test
that navigate without confirmation and maybe see if I can get it to go off for
some stoplights and of course from the previous release dog mode is still there
so that is spectacular and I am impressed and
I cannot wait to give this all a try so I'm gonna go switch batteries in my
camcorder here get my action camp set up onto the dash so I can record the dash
of the ecto-1 which at the moment this car will be named the ecto-1 of course
my old one is kilowatt ecto-1 ghostbusters and of course killer watt
Ghostbusters was that episode two of the animated series please don't go stealing
my car names at least ecto or kilowatt pleased uncle's stealin killer wine on
me so that's it gonna go go for a spin now
