A couple of interesting updates, among other minor ones...
1 - "Energy prediction for your route has been improved by incorporating forecasted crosswind, headwind, humidity and ambient temperature when using online navigation.
Before the update, Tesla's routing system estimated energy usage by distance, elevation changes, and some additional information such as your vehicle type and its wheel configuration.
The new Navigation Energy Prediction makes this projection even more definitive by forecasting wind conditions, assessing if you will be driving into a headwind or crosswind, determining the humidity, and gauging the ambient temperature.
Of course this is more important on longer trips, which I do not currently use our Model 3 for.
2 - Updated Visualizations from FSD Beta now added into production software.
"This update includes new, more detailed vehicle models that have doors, windows, glass roofs, and wheels. Although the car models are the same ones used in FSD Beta, only the vehicle models are being carried over to production builds right now.
It doesn't appear to include anything else the betas are currently detecting and displaying, such as road edges, drivable areas, open doors or blinkers."
3 - Regeneration / Acceleration Line "The line directly above the speedometer reading in a Model 3 and Model Y shows the amount of regenerative braking (green) or acceleration (black) that is occuring. The center of the line is neutral where there is no acceleration or regenerative braking occuring.
The further the line grows to the left, the greater the amount of regenerative braking is taking place, and the more it goes to the right, the greater the acceleration."
Updates 2 and 3 are undocumented; Tesla likes to surprise owners with these "gifts". It is like opening a present. As a development programmer in business analytics, I find this interesting, fun and important. I considered my job to be, "Don't give them what they asked for; give them what they need." If you can throw something extra, something meaningful, into a release, users will be drawn to your work.
