The release of 2021.4.18 comes after 2021.4.17 was released back on May 10th. Earlier this week, Tesla released 2021.4.15.8, which also contained bug fixes.
No word on what’s new, but it feels like this is again most likely bug fixes.
However, according to Tesla hacker @greentheonly tonight, 2021.4.18 “brings animal assets to the masses,” similar to 2021.4.15.8, plus also “unspecified voice command improvements”.
hm, the now being pushed 2021.4.18 brings animal assets to the masses so you might want to see if they'll display dogs/cats on your car display same as it did on 2021.4.15.8 for some?
Also unspecified voice command improvements.
No autowipers v3 though.
