    Firmware 5.8

    The toggle/reboot seems to have cured my regen issues as well. Thanks, phat78boy.

    Firmware 5.8

    Ditto--and I posted about it in the 5.6 thread before the 5.8 thread even existed. - - - Updated - - - I've also never used creep.

    Firmware 5.8

    Had you driven my car before and after you would understand and we wouldn't be having this conversation. To my post from last night, I really think this change may be affecting different cars differently.

    Firmware 5.8

    The first time I noticed it was the first time I took my foot off the pedal after the upgrade. It was in the low 50s. And I've noticed it every single time since without exception. It's different. Period. And without looking back through the thread for everyone's location, I do remember a report...

    Firmware 5.8

    I can state definitively that this is not the issue in my case.

    Firmware 5.8

    I find it a little confusing that many of us--myself included--have noticed a significant and undeniable change in the regen profile, while others haven't noticed a thing (I assume anyone contributing to this discussion is using standard regen and not low). I've also confirmed the change in...

    19" Turbine Wheel Solution

    Thanks for the update. It's probably easier to order individually if they'll have the color combinations on file and we don't all have to reinvent the wheel (no pun intended). That would certainly be easier for you. I can go either way, though, if people would rather save the $20 then I'll join...

    Tesla Fires

    I think they were annoyed by the "safest" claim, which I'll reiterate just simply could not be made based on the crash test scores. To your first paragraph, my point was less the NHTSA reaction, but rather TM making a claim that couldn't be substantiated.

    Note the change in Model S safety claims

    It was reported at the time the crash test rating came out that Tesla annoyed the NHTSA when it proclaimed that the Model S was "the safest car in America" based on its score. It was pointed out in numerous places that the NHTSA doesn't test most luxury vehicles, and therefore that Tesla had no...

    Tesla Fires

    You could be right. I suspect, as I posted during an OT segment of another thread, that they "requested" it because they knew it was coming and wanted to be able to make the claim that they requested it. I have no inside knowledge here, though, so yes, there are lots of possibilities. I think...

    Tesla Fires

    I'm thinking TM didn't really ask for an investigation. Washington — The head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration flatly denied Tuesday that Tesla Motors had sought an investigation into battery fires in Model S vehicles, and questioned if it would even be proper for the...

    Firmware 5.8

    Curious--if you connect it to a wifi network somewhere, anywhere--Starbucks, whatever--will it stop bugging you to connect in your garage? I'm connected at home and it doesn't bug me anywhere else--wondering if you just need an initial connection to satisfy its demands.

    Firmware 5.8

    I can see how a change to the acceleration can help Wh/mi, although that shouldn't come into play much on long highway drives. I know I'm using the brakes a lot more with the new regen profile, so I'm failing to see how that can be helpful either (not to mention far less "green" on the power...

    nkohlimd, any update on the 3D stickers you were looking into? Sorry if I missed something. Thanks
