    App Connection down?

    A bit off topic... If you have your Tesla power gateway wired or on WiFi you can get the status by hitting the local IP. There is also a nice little doc on GitHub with the local API info: vloschiavo/powerwall2. I'm planning on writing a HomeKit interface so I monitor the battery. Wouldn't take...

    Firmware 6.1

    I'll be going out soon and can report back if either are further improved. I can say that .140 had vastly improved torque sleep already. I was able to drive from Gilroy to Atascadero on the PCH with plenty of range to spare, averaging about 300 wh/mile the whole way. My return trip between the...

    Firmware 6.1

    I am now at .167. Nothing jumps out as different at this point, nor nothing new that I can see in the release notes.

    Next-gen REAR seats no longer available for new orders, please post feedback on yours

    I have the next-gen rear seats and I can say that the taller head rest doesn't bother me in the least. When driving forward it doesn't block so much that can't see what's behind and when backing up I have a camera (that now has parking guidance lines) that does the work for me. As far as the...

    Adaptive Cruise Control (experience post FW v6.1)

    It may have been noted below as well, but another couple of observations I have to add: - At this point I after running my commute with and without TACC in nearly identical conditions, I find its about a wash on efficiency. - Seems to do OK on curves for me. Specifically freeway off/on ramps...

    Adaptive Cruise Control (experience post FW v6.1)

    My update came in overnight and it was like a experiencing a whole new car this morning. The TACC works amazingly well. I turned on cruise, set my speed and away I went. I tried various settings for the following distance setting and that worked very well too. I could maybe do with a little less...

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    Yes, the scarves were draped on the seats in lieu of a bow on the car. I thought they were a really nice touch. Folded seat photos. Apologies for the dark exposure, I was a bit too excited for anything better. I'll be doing a better set of photos at some point soon.

    Let's say thanks: Pizza for the factory employees

    I saw the mountains of pizza boxes in the break area during my factory tour. The tour guide even made it a point to call out that it was pizza day. Everyone seemed to be quite cheery at that factory today.

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    I just got home after delivery. What an amazing experience. I arrived about 15 minutes early at the Fremont delivery center and was greeted by DS Justine. She wasn't my DS, Nikki, that I'd been working with but she was awesome as well. We quickly went over signing the various paperwork and...
