M3P arrived this week. Absolute beast! The power and acceleration feel limitless

Don't worry it will feel slow after a while :eek:

Yeah I got used to mine pretty fast, now it just feels like the fossil cars are slow

No doubt. I will be wondering why everyone else is going so slow

Is it only Tesla as a manufacturer that does OTA software updates ?

No. I had OTA updates on my BMW M135i and we get them on the wife’s 320i

No, but I've had 14 since mid December, 8 of them making noticeable change (Major Versions). No other manufacture is iterating like that.

Indeed. It’s exciting being a beta tester I guess.

No, because other manufacturers actually test their software before releasing it. I like my Model 3 but ironically much of what I thought I was going to love about it is the thing that really annoys me about it, all relates to software.

FerretBoy · 26 Jun 2022 at 19:19

I quite like the constant tweaks, but then I work in software and appreciate fast iterations and also love change.

{SAS}TB · 26 Jun 2022 at 19:34

I like the fact they regularly tweak - 9/10 I have no idea (noticeable difference) as to what they have done or are for

b0rn2sk8 · 26 Jun 2022 at 19:45

To be fair, some of the changes have not been good. The initial V11 release was a big retrograde step, it’s a lot better now but it still took them months to fix the things they broke.

FerretBoy · 26 Jun 2022 at 20:22

Yeah V11 was a little too clean. Confused why people loved the tyre pressure card though as the car literally alerts you if there is an issue, i.e. no need to watch it!

Happy with it now though, it's streamlined, but everything I need is at hand, some things even easier than before thanks to being able to assign my own buttons.

FerretBoy · 26 Jun 2022 at 20:24

Also really looking forward to the latest build, I won't miss the automatic off ramp exits, a little to scary, even for me.

kitkat9933 · 26 Jun 2022 at 20:31

Had my M3P about 30 months now after a MS P100d and MS75d.

Due to Tesla price increases it’s now with £12k more than when I ordered it. So I’ve made money driving lol. Crazy times that we live in. Pays for the deposit on my incoming MS Plaid.

Great cars.

I just think it's rare for manufacturers to do any form of updates that don't require a visit to the dealer or are just poorly done. For example trying to upgrade the nav software in my wife's 2019 fiesta st (model and age for reference, as its newish and not base model), but there's an error message now that essentially means there's not enough space to install the update. Who designs software like that, that screams of absolutely no testing.

I agree, particularly about the cards. The current version of V11 is abought right and a dare I say it, an improvement over V10, it just wasn't at launch.

V11 just about caught Uk with v10. I preferred the icons in v10 to add uniformity. I prefer the separate media icons in v11 though.

Quite a few recent cars are doing this better now. IDrive 7 and 8 on BMW all offer OTA updates that works well and occasionally add new features as well as bug fixes. Latest Audi similar I believe. VW’s latest infotainment is an utter mess mind you, having borrowed an ID3 for a few days it was easily the worst part of the car (along with those utterly stupid capacitive buttons everywhere). Ford Mustang Mach-E has OTA updates now too I believe.

So yeah, it’s getting there.

My cars have what.3.words update now for the navigation system #justsayin
