TESLA AUTOPILOT POV | MODEL S SOFTWARE UPDATE 2021.4.15 BUG FIXES

EV Channels Review

This video provides a POV test drive of Tesla's software update 2021.4.15 on a 2015 Model S equipped with AP1 and an MCU2 upgrade. The update focuses on minor cold weather improvements and bug fixes, which are not significantly tested in Sydney's mild climate. The reviewer highlights the limitations of the AP1 system, noting the need for constant driver intervention (hand on the wheel) and the absence of advanced FSD visualizations. While Autopilot and Traffic Aware Cruise Control function adequately for basic driving and stop-start traffic, the lane change feature is shown to be slow and sometimes unreliable, with a minimum speed requirement that isn't always clear. The reviewer also touches upon past reliability issues with the Model S, such as door mechanism failures and a leaky roof, and the elective MCU2 upgrade. Overall, the video demonstrates that while the core Autopilot functions are still usable, the system is dated compared to newer Tesla models.
