Tesla Model S 5.6 Firmware OTA upgrade rolling out to US owners
I just got my 5.6 firmware update without calling Tesla. I was on 4.5.1 previously. It took about 20 minutes to install after a 2 minute shutdown procedure. After the update I got the screen above.
I did have some trouble connecting to my home Wifi networks as you can see toward the end there. I’m going to give it another try tomorrow, I wonder if it isn’t encryption problems. I also want to try a Verizon LTE Mifi.
I really love the updates to maps. Right away I can see the usefulness of the compass and directional UI.
I know 5.6 has been rolling out to Europeans for around a month but I don’t know many folks stateside that have it via OTA without it being pushed for issues.
Also, I hear this update reduces the vampire drain effect. That would be a big deal for me because I lose at least 5 miles per 24 hours unplugged.
