Just announced is a large update to Tesla Model S software.

Something we owners of "head in the sand" manufacturers can only dream about.
Whilst I have followed Kevin's cell pack woes with interest and certainly do not understand the Tesla stance on that, it is interesting that the "new kid on the block" Tesla does in other areas think "out of the box" with their free software updates which do tend to fix all sorts of bugs and wish lists.
I fully understand that any software update in the auto industry has to be fully tested which is expensive, the main fixes we all continually chat about are generally where annoying features are allowed to be disabled and nothing to do with the operation of the car when moving.
Charge beep being one of them! Why not flash the indicators? Its amazing that initial trials did not have that annoying feature at the top of the list.
Navigation not accepting postal codes is another. I see that the map update is over £200. Does that give the post code facility? All navigation software is purchased from external companies so how is it that the sat nav is so poor. It has a nice English girls voice which goes up an octave when announcing road names. So funny.
