New software update 2019.36.1 begins roll out

Some lucky Tesla owners have started to receive the next big software update after V10 last month, 2019.36.1.

Some of the newest features include several the Tesla CEO Elon Musk alluded to on the Tesla Q3 2019 earnings call last week, including the 5% power increase, scheduled departure charging, stopping mode (single pedal driving), and automatic navigation.

One feature that we knew was coming soon but it was a bit of a surprise to see in this release is the improved driver visualizations that can now detect and display traffic and construction cones. When cones are detected while Navigate on Autopilot (NOAP) is engaged, the vehicle will suggest a lane change to avoid the cones!

The full release notes are below.
