2022.4.5.12 Release Notes:

Range Display Calibration​

The range display in your vehicle is undergoing calibration. Until calibrated, displayed range may under or overestimate compared to distance driven. To improve accuracy, charge to 100% and wait until the charge port LED turns solid green, indicating a completed charging session. It is recommended for this configuration of vehicle to keep your charge limit set to 100%, even for daily use, and that you also fully charge to 100% at least once per week.​

For more information on battery care and tips please refer to the Owner's Manual.​

Oh dear lord what have they done to me on this one! Have you ever been in a taxi in China, if so, then you'll know that point at which you want to whack the driver round the head for constantly accelerating and de-accelerating on a long journey. Well, in walking pace traffic jam (30% of my commute), the car does this kangaroo thing that ends with me banging my head on the headrest.. WTF! So no adaptive cruise in traffic then...until they fix that. The single most irritating thing I have ever had on any car bar the cassette player chewing a tape back in the 90s. And I own a classic car.
It starts subtly, then builds into a full on kangaroo mode that has to be stopped by turning it off.

What I cant interpret from those notes is if means more aggressive braking overall, or that the mix between regen and friction braking is shifting to more regen and less use of the friction brakes. If that's the case it may or may not be getting more herky-jerky. As someone who loves the one pedal driving but is also prone to motion sickness. The second option is preferable.

there is no discernable difference in braking. I think it is meant to use regen instead of friction brakes. But it isn't total.

 

[msjulie]

While I would want more regen to be used, my car has ordered me to remain on V10 so I don't punch the screen each time I get in, fretting over V11 downgrade

 

[RonAz]

Now that I have had V11 for awhile , I will move to the “like” column. I would like to have energy graph page back, unless I have not found it yet.

 

[RonAz]

I am looking forward to a friend getting a Y next week. Except for a short drive in my 3, they will be starting with a clean slate. Their reaction will be interesting

Energy graph is still there. Look among the icons at the bottom of the home screen (where games and such are located). A small green graph icon.

I just hope they fix it soon. It's completely not usable for me, makes me car sick. I've tried hard reboot, calibrate cams, trying setting the gap higher to the car in front. actually tried 1-6 on the gap setting, but still does the jerky kangaroo thing. Utterly useless for me in slow moving traffic now....Yet another feature taken away.

Thanks. Silly me, I was looking in the menus.

 

[styleruk]

Nope, that's enough, I've booked her in, completely stupid and even dangerous levels of jerkiness. It's like I'm brake testing the car behind as the car kangaroos in slow moving traffic. Absolutely terrible. Booked in for no heated passenger seat but also telling them the cruise control at low speed is broken.

I think something must be wrong with your car. I tested 2022.4 yesterday in traffic (on and off highway). It's only been one drive (~100km) so far, but I found the opposite of what you experienced! My distance is set to 4, perhaps that makes a difference. In any case, the accelerations and decelerations are much smoother with this version. In the past, I could feel the car in front shifting gears (e.g. after being stopped at a traffic light) and AP would wait too long before starting to decelerate and would end up braking (sometimes quite) a bit hard behind a slow or stopped car. I would rarely let AP handle slow and stopped traffic. With 2022.4, I feel this is a lot closer to the way I would accelerate and decelerate.

 

[styleruk]

Let us know what they say.

Will do, unfortunately, the earliest I can get is March26th! shocking.

 

[aresal]

Anyone on these new builds notice more responsive camera? Since v11 the backup camera lags a lot, especially when needed (e.g., reversing). Soft reset only temporarily fixes it for maybe one drive.

I mean it's cool enough but how about fixing bugs and bringing back features V11 took away, is that really too much to ask?

Closer but still less than we had It's so odd that we're cheered on by the addition of something they previously took away, I swear this must be some experiment or something.

Every once in a while I'll change something that my car thinks is an important profile change like which heated seats are on or a tweak to the seat position. With V10 I can hit the button to revert w/o going in park; how does it work now?

Seat heater icons, defrost icons, fast quick look of tire pressures. Oh wait, just stay on V10
