What do you think the cause of the difference is?

I read it as all 2024 models must use the new tests.

Speculation: Why the Model S LR range remained the same and the Plaid dropped. They now have to test different configurations and average the results. The plaid mode keeps the battery in ideal state. This heats up the battery and cools the battery.

I wish it was true, that would be awesome! But... I remember a lot of research about the feasibility of doing such an upgrade and it just didn't work. The cost was about $20K in parts. From my memory... Entirely new braking system, entirely new steering system, new windshield. Multiple wiring...

I'm agreeing with you. That calculator takes into consideration drive train losses and kind of indirectly validates what I was trying to say.

I'm actually pretty happy with the situation. No we aren't getting the 691HP which is the rating of the combined motors. What we did get was better than the advertised performance. I'm just glad they went to the trouble to offer the ludicrous upgrade for existing P85D owners at a discount...

I'm surprised this is the first I've heard of the removal of the high performance suspension. I wonder why Tesla has such a problem communicating? It almost seems like it is on purpose... I guess I lucked out with my February P85D. I managed to get the plus suspension, staggered wheels, next...

Version 6.1 (2.2.167) I just upgraded. It looks like a bug fix release. However torque sleep was also just a .xxx point release. I thought I'd make a thread so we can keep all of the observations together. I'll post here later after a drive... Edit: Thread moved...

I downloaded the source and built it. I ran the current version 0.50.04. So far things seem to be working for me. This includes the logging which is probably the problem area with the server throttling. @jpasqua Nice work!

IIRC It is about a month old though...

I asked at the Denver SC. You are just prepaying for the $600 annual service. You don't get anything extra other than a discount of $125 per visit (4x$125 = $500 off). The service center receives the same $600 for accounting purposes whether you prepay or not. If you prepay the $600 comes...

No it does not sound normal as you described it. But I think it can be explained away. There are two ways of measuring range rated 100% (265) and ideal (300) . The first thing to check would be if you are in ideal or rated. Perhaps it was switched (IIRC Settings, Measurements & units), it will...

I'm not sure it is that simple. If it was we probably would have seen it already. The added strain of driving the gears and free wheeling motor from the other motor through the road is probably not ideal from an efficiency perspective. Knowing just enough about ac induction motors to sound...

I'm curious if anyone knows what "Torque Sleep" does exactly.

+1 I just wish Tesla communicated this earlier. It is relieving to have it all cleared up.
