Mine is in the bodyshop still, and so not only no update, but no car! Commenting now to trigger notice that both are ready today.

The blind spot camera is a gimmicky throwaway, IMHO. Looking at the dash when turning is not intuitive at all; most drivers use their side mirrors when checking their blind spots.

Isn’t it the whole point of blind spot camera, there is something your side mirrors cannot see or you cannot see by turning your neck and that your blind spot camera provides. You need to do all three to be safe.

It depends on how your mirrors are aligned I suppose. Mirrors are for blind spots, too.

is it normal that I still haven't received the update? It's taking quite a bit, are there others that haven't received it?

Electrafi, shows zero downloads for today. They are about 53% through the update of the vehicles they track. I'm still waiting.
I was wondering about this as well it appears they had a massive push then it slowed down. I'm hoping it is just a slowdown so they can have people put on some miles before pushing out in large batches again.

I hear ya. I hear ya. This is the one update I'm being impatient with because of an upcoming road trip that's all.
I know right before the holiday means I need to get it before the upcoming road trip or when I get home. I never update when away from home just in case it doesn't work right.

If you don't like it I think you can turn it off. My wife's car has them and I never use them. But my parent's Honda Minivan I found them it to be a key feature as you really can't see well on the passenger side no matter how you adjust the mirror.

Very normal. Randomized, rolling push.

I haven't gotten my update yet either. Honestly I don't mind. Its the same great car it was this whole time. It'll come and I'll update it when I have time to and it'll be fun and awesome. I agree with everyone that says it just nice to have a car the improves over time. Thats still awesome to me.

After the update, I immediately miss the fender camera view in the camera app. The screen used to have the front or rear camera views on either side of the bumper view on the screen. It was great for my really tight garage and for parallel parking (better than the arial view) to get as close to a curb as possible without scraping.

Also, I can no longer turn on the fan with the + button. It's greyed out until I turn on the AC/Heat, then adjust the fan speed. I suspect that will be fixed in the future.

Still figuring out the vent presets.

Like others say, it's not intuitive to look down at your dash when chaning lanes, so don't care for the new turn signal - camera view pop-up.

I wouldn't say "night and day", but I do think the ride is better in Soft mode.

Gen1 R1S, 21". 3000 mi in 2 months, avg 2.62 mi/kwh probably 50/50 highway/city. I leave the regen in Standard. Don't floor it too often ;-) I've seen over 2.8 for a couple hundred miles of slow city driving over a couple weeks but then it must be down around 2.3 for 70-80mph when we take a trip.

I wonder if anyone has figured out how to use the camp speaker to play what's playing in the vehicle?

They got rid of the fender camera? That was really useful when parking next to a curb.
