Less than a week after coming out with the 2020.16 update, Tesla has just rolled out a patch software update with its version 2020.16.2.
According to Teslascope, there was a Model 3 in Oregon that received the 2020.16.2 patch software update.
And according to Teslafi twitter account, there was another Model 3 in Georgia that was just upgraded to this latest software.
After a flurry of updates in the last few weeks to roll out the latest and greatest Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control and Dashcam Viewer features, tesla is starting to roll out some smaller features.
In the latest 2020.16 release, new features included these minor ones below. Personally, the most useful feature would be the charging station filter function, helps searching for nearest charger based on max power. Helps if you are on the road and looking to get a quick charge and keep going.
- tesla Toybox
- Nearby Charging Stations
- Minor improvements to maps
- Dashcam Improvements
- Backgammon Improvements
The official tesla software update version is the 2020.16.2 a0c3c853bd.
We should note that most of the updates that have been rolling out have been the 2020.12.11.5 and 2020.12.11.1 updates. There has been very few vehicles with the latest 2020.16 update. So be patient if you are still on the 2020.12 version.
