Great news! Thank you!

Thanks croman Do you have inside knowledge, or is it a gut feel? I know that the day I get it repaired with an MCU1 they will come announce the MCU2 upgrade!

Does anyone have an update on this? I have a 2014 Model S P85D, and my MCU has been dead since early March. I have been holding off getting it fixed because I want to wait for the upgrade. It is now July and there is still no word on the upgrade for 1st gen AP.

Both All Wheel Drive? You may find that the P85D traction control wins the day. Pray for rain.

Add me to the list of P85D owners who have not been updated

It's giving you a wrist-slap for signaling too late :wink:

It seems to me that those seeing big improvements in efficiency are from California. The only state in the nation that has not been seeing the recent huge drop in temps.

If you are doing A (P85) vs B (P85D) then it is still a valid experiment. You won't be able to compare the results to a previous run, but you will never be able to do that anyway. Too many variables. Thanks for doing this for the community.

It is colder for most folks than it was when they first got their P85D, this could easily wipe out the 10% improvement that *may* be in the new release

Or headwind (lack of), or ambient temps. There are a lot of variables.

They stopped installing them in MN because they are illegal (hide the tabs). Don't worry spv6, you will learn to love the Minneapolis team as you work with them more. There is nothing they won't do for you (within reason of course!).

I don't see you in the tracking spreadsheet. When did you go into production?

Are they both 21"? Oh yea, the yellow car. Sorry. OK 21s on both. I see the D is almost at 1000 miles, so we can't throw in 5% for new tires. Still looking for 5% somewhere. However, if we calculate it the other way: 306/252, it is 13%, so 3%. Still some tire break in?

Seriously? You are getting ripped off! A partial (clear bra) for me is around $600.

I am sure it was the reference to the "several crisis issues" that got that one deleted.

There seems to be a lot of variability from car-to-car. I am wondering if slight manufacturing differences cause a large change in range. It could be that the early prototypes did not identify the problem

I had to switch to the ship-to-home option. However I am still wondering if it can catch a truck by the 31st.

I have been thinking about this, and it occurred to me that a dyno has four independent rolls, rather than a single road surface. I am thinking that there may be a small synchronization issue between the axles, that can cause motors to fight each other. This will not show up on dyno rolls.

It looks fabulous. What was the cost?

Congratulations 3s! Just one day after mine. So now what? I think mine is still in CA, but cannot be sure. I had a discussion with my DS yesterday who was recommending the FOB Factory option. I told him to hold off on that decision until the end of the day, in case it got on a truck. Now I am...

I just talked to my DS, and I guess there a bunch of trucks on their way to MN, but my car isn't on any of them. Sucks.

Yea, it sucks. They are going have 40 cars land at the same time. Crazy.

Production complete. If it gets on a truck today, I still have a chance...

My DS tells me that the Dashboard status does not necessarily reflect reality. He is convinced that my car is out of production and waiting for a truck. I hope he is right. He said the factory sends updates to HQ who update the Dashboards. It is chaos at the moment and it is not unusual for the...

Oh, that's bad news for me. I may be in the same situation then. Has your status changed, or does it still say "in production?" Mine is still stuck

This is interesting. There seems to be a large variation in the amount of energy/mile folks are consuming.

I don't have a D, but I do have a lot of experience getting the most range I can from a P in subzero weather in high winds. This is what I do. Take it very easy at the beginning. Get onto the freeway and drive under the speed limit. Pull up the energy graph on one panel, and the nav in the...

Wow. This thread needs some serious moderation. We have drifted off topic.

Great test adopter. Anyone know what the hit is for the staggered vs non staggered 21s?

I hope he didn't type it backwards. That would be an easy fix!

woa. Have you checked your tire pressures?

I like this idea. Although I don't think I have ever had one of those!

While we could go crazy adding columns, I have found the greatest factor that influences range after elevation is wind. Head, tail, or crosswind. It isn't easy to gather the data, but I get the local weather as I am traveling, then average it out. A wind at 45 degrees to the direction of travel...

What does your dashboard say? Still in production?

My car is in "final EOL test" I guess it is the final step before production complete. My DS was a little cagey with his update though, so I am wondering what that really means. He said I have gone through the water test and burn-in, so I guess that is a good sign, unless it has been pulled into...

i am going to call my DS today. Will let you know what I find out

I have been watching your car too 3s. We both went into production on the 15th. Last I checked (Friday) I was still in General Assembly. Do you know where your car is at? I think we are in a black hole too. We both have gray interiors. I am wondering if that is the reason.

it worked as expected on the demo P85D I drove. Vibrated the steering wheel. Felt like a rumble strip.

When I first experienced the lane departure warning I thought there were rumble strips in the road, but it was the car itself. I did notice that if the white lines are far enough apart, and the sensor happens to cross lanes between them, it will not go off. Sorry, rather OT here.

good tip. Thanks

those front seats look like next gen to me

Ask 5 accountants, and you will get 5 answers. The same would be true of IRS auditors.

I believe we speculated that the ratio was 10:1 earlier. This is in the same order - - - Updated - - - It is still very variable. From 3 days to who knows how long. I am still in General Assembly, and I went into production on the 15th. Since you are in SoCal, I would give it at least 6 days.

the relevant columns have already been added to the main P85D tracking spreadsheet.

The recent ones vary from 3 days to who knows what. According to the spreadsheet, there are still a lot of post black hole cars in limbo.

Wow. 11 days for a non "black hole" car. That puts my complete date at 12/26. I guess it can still get here by year's end if that's the case, but it's darned tight.

This happened to me too. Now I am stuck in GA. 5 days since I went into production. I think they may be waiting for inbound parts.

your Delivery Specialist (DS) can tell you. You just have to call for an update.

Another day and I am still stuck in paint. :mad:

Once we all get our PD's and the dust settles, I think we will miss checking in on this thread every hour or so.
