MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.1 update released with 5% power increase

[Garlan Garner]

Depends on whether they like you or not. Little known fact, Tesla keeps a secret asshole score attached to your account. If you score exceptionally high it's.........no soup for you........

I suppose there is nothing that can be done about that.

 

[Garlan Garner]

I'm pretty sure it was heavily weighted that way.

I'm just really tired of the "haves" getting true privileges over the "have nots".

Oh well, maybe I'll call Tesla customer service and find out if I've been placed on santa's naughty list.

I know, right? Friends in high places. Everyone else will probably be on advanced Transformer mode before I get 36.1...........Hey, I know, let's class-action lawsuit the Bastille, with pitchforks.........

Cross posted with the "P3D Horsepower?" thread. I did an acceleration measurement this morning in my car. Plotted vs. pre-first bump, post-first bump, and post-second bump. Decent gains. Not as big as the first jump. (y-axis is ft/s^2, 32.2 ft/s^2 = 1G). 0-60 with rollout was 3.083 s, without rollout (from 0.8 km/hr - same as VBOX trigger) 3.315 s. Max Gs: 0.901

So, it's a largely an "after 40 mph" 5% bump...

Many people I've heard on reddit say they feel it's more torquer pre-40 mph. The last 5% pump was noticeable after 40 mph and this one should be felt earlier.

Can you back that up with facts ? Or is that the almighty internet opinion there ?

My data (above) says the opposite. There was a much bigger 0-40 mph torque bump last time. This time there is a very minor 0-40 mph torque bump and a nice power curve bump from there to 100 mph. Jerk is still the same from 0-5 mph. I'll try it again sometime when my battery is warmer (no dots on power side, but a few on the regen side of the power meter), but I stand by the measurement.

FWIW, my data shows 18.9% more acceleration @ 80 mph from 2019.5.15 to 2019.36.1. Seems pretty significant to me...what other car gets nearly 20% more top end acceleration a year+ after purchase directly from the manufacturer??

I hope this is the case. The higher double digits are not quick on the 3P.

0-100 mph went from 8.324 s on 2019.5.15 to 7.527 s on 2019.36.1. That's pretty massive.

Absolutely I can back that up with facts. But you do the math, Poe's law squared divided by infinity..........carry the one..........

0-100 mph went from 8.324 s on 2019.5.15 to 7.527 s on 2019.36.1. That's pretty massive.

Do you have the same numbers for 2019.8.4 to 36.1?

If that's true, then WOW!

Pretty much indicates, that when Elon was talking about improvements in motor control, he was talking about extending the torque range where it currently drops off. Also goes along with improved efficiency.

So for the same amount of current, input at the higher RPMs they are producing more power. Probably by getting the phasing/sync more optimal.

My initial impressions (seat of the pants) was that it pulled both harder, and longer.
P3D horsepower?

 

[SleeperService]

Do you have the same numbers for 2019.8.4 to 36.1?

Sure. 2019.8.4 and up was 7.861 s 0-100 mph. Again, all with 1 ft roll out.

I posted this in another thread, but thought I'd post here as well - for any LR AWD M3 existing owners who got the update, did you see an increase in range? I'm more interested in that than the power bump.

This. While i'm all for increased performance, i'd like to know if range also increased with this update.

Anybody have 60-130 numbers yet?

Yeah, I'm not doing that!

LW AWD here. Yes I saw my 90% charge range go from 279mi pre-2019.36.1 to 283mi post update. Immediately after the update it showed the same exact range as before. But I let the battery run down some over the last couple of days and charged to 90% last night and had the 283mi this morning.

It's not huge but I've never had I 90% get to 283. I think I've seen 281 a couple of times.

 

[PACEMD]

That's random variation.........
