    LTE upgrade is on the way

    Got my LTE upgrade at the Fremont SC today. All good and you can really see the difference on map updates and Slacker or Tune-In. All very nice! Same pricing that others have stated.

    Firmware 6.2

    Clean install on my P85+ with autopilot. Got the notice about 10:00 PM PDT on Sunday night and installed right away. Took about 2.5 hours to complete. Drove to/from work today - about 100 miles in total. The TACC is much smoother and the blind spot is nice. Audio is a little better but not...

    Firmware 6.1

    I received .167 on my P85+ Autopilot HW on Monday night this week. This was and update from .140. The things I have noticed: - Hill Brake is now working better on slight inclines - this was "broken" starting in .115 and they have now resolved the issue - TACC driving is much smoother and...

    Firmware 6.1

    I did get .140 earlier this week and I have found that the album art is much better - even over 6.0 (finally). Also, the Range Mode switch now has the "i" for more information. Since i have a P85+ with the Auto Pilot HW, I only get the details on the "reduced climate controls" vs. the "balance...

    Firmware 6.1

    Like others, I too have 6.1 2.2.115 now. I had been running .113 for about a week. Got the notice at 2:30 AM PST last night and installed it this morning at home. Took about 1 hour for the install and at the end the "Update Successful" dialog box with the release note summary was displayed...

    Tesla Model S Stop Sensor Error

    I have a new P85+ with the autopilot HW and this has been an issue since day-one. I've been told since 9/29/14 that this will be resolved with the new software for the new ultrasonic soon. I even have issues with objects too close on the sides triggering "front" STOP warnings. Hope it is...

    Brake booster "proactive repair"?

    Exactly what I was told when they replaced mine. VIN below and yes I have a car with new HW. I was in the service center for another repair and they swapped out the iBooster.

    Firmware 6.0

    I was in the Fremont Service Center for a wiper motor problem today and I too received 1.67.125. As others have stated, the Internet and XM distortion issues seem to have been resolved. I also notice that both Slacker and TuneIn have pretty good sound quality. I was getting better sounds from...

    Adaptive Cruise Control By December 15, 2014, as per Tesla Test Drive Rep

    Typically the updates go into the field of cars in service first. I took delivery of my new Model S P85+ and I was only running 5.14 while a good percentage of the cars in the field had 6.0 for weeks... I had to finally go in for service to get the update. This has been true even before me...

    17" Screen Protector

    I was just back at Premier Protective Films in Fremont to have my PPF wrap re-checked and sealed. I also had a 17" Screen Protector installed. THIS is WONDERFUL! The coating provides a nice layer that dramatically reduces the fingerprints on my screen and the system is still just a touch...

    Three Quick Southern California HOV Sticker Questions...

    Exactly! Once my Model S P85+ was wrapped - I got the decals and am placing them on... that way the paint is totally protected! :wink:

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    New version for iOS today as well. Only thing I noticed is the App seems more responsive.

    Firmware 6.0

    When I went from .42 to .80 I noticed this as well. I have rebooted and still the hatch gives a "push" shut. Prior to that it did just softly close and click shut. It is now more similar to what a person would do when they close the hatch manually.

    P85D - Electric Mechanical Braking System

    Yes HE is sure... I have a new P85+ that I took delivery of on 9/29/14 at the factory. Today I picked up the car from the Fremont SC. I have the new HW on my P85+ as they had to replace the iBooster (Electro-mechanical brake assist). I only went in to have an AC Compressor Fan noise looked at...

    Firmware 6.0

    As promised, I picked up my P85+ today and I had 6.0 (1.67.80) from (1.67.42). I have not seen anything different yet and the release notes are still the original 6.0 notes. I have the new HW on my P85+ and they had to replace the iBooster (Electro-mechanical brake assist). I only went in to...

    Squeaky fan?

    I have the same issue on mine. I had the issue with the passenger side and now BOTH are loud. Funny... They changed out BOTH about 2 weeks ago and the driver side is just super bad, even when running at any time I can hear it. The noise is totally related to the AC... if I switch that off -...

    Will the 12 sensors be able to create the 360degree cocoon?

    Like TDial I have the new sensors on my P85+... There are 6 on the front and 6 on the rear bumper (the old parking sensors were only 4 on each bumper). Here is a view of the sensor kit...

    What's your 6.0+ car name (if you are willing to share?)

    Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning

    New 6.0 software is going out to folks that were on 5.14 with new hardware - the new 6.0 release is 1.67.42 (at least). I was in the Fremont SC yesterday and got that update. Other than the 6.0 changes, nothing new to the Lane Departure or Speed Limit Assist features. Also, no ACC features -...

    Firmware 6.0

    Just had my P85+ in for some adjustments post delivery and they also placed 6.0 (1.67.42) on to replace 5.14. The new Lane Departure and Speed Limit assist features are working just as they did on 5.14. Nothing new other than the other 6.0 features. I have all the new HW so this must be the 6.0...

    Newish cars and 6.0

    Just going to get my P85+ from the Fremont service center and for sure it has 6.0 on it (1.67.42). SC called and told me that this was just released last week for the "newer" MS with the new HW. It is 6.0... I'll let you know if I find out anything else after pickup.

    Newish cars and 6.0

    Same for me... took delivery on 9/29 at Fremont - all the new hardware - still on 5.14. I am at the service center today for an AC Fan noise issue and hood alignment issue. I asked my service rep to update the FW to 6.0 if possible. He told me that the new hardware Model S can't use 6.0 - yet...

    Are Parking Sensors now standard?

    The OLD parking sensors are NOT the same. I will take pictures tomorrow. I have a NEW P85+ with the NEW HW and my neighbor has a P85+ he took delivery of in early July that has the parking sensors only. We talked about that yesterday and how they are NOT the same and not the same "count".

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    I checked with my OA again today and ALL Models S cars from 9/18/14 include the "hardware" for Safety and Autopilot. ALL purchases of "Tech Package" will INCLUDE the Autopilot (even if those were made under the OLD Design Studio). However, Safety features will be included in ALL cars... 1)...

    On a budget....S60D with Tech vs barebones S85???

    YES! I have a NEW Model S and I can tell you that the brakes are different. Also, the different steering options feel "different" vs. prior Model S. I have now driven about 10 different Model S P85s and P85+s - the difference between mind and the others is interesting in breaking and steering...

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    Wow way too much mis-information... ALL Model S cars since 9/18 are leaving the factory with all the required Hardware for Autopilot "ALL CARS" period... I have talked with the regional OA director here in the Bay Area and the data folks are getting is about "the software" and only that...

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    I agree it is a mess! My OA is providing more details in an email shortly that I will post. I just hung up with him again and he told me that she is technically correct - however there will be an upgrade for ALL Model S equipped cars. I think they are just running in so many different...

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    Actually, you would be able to add the "SW" later... I confirmed this with my OA this morning... Autopilot HW is now STANDARD on all Model S series The blog also is pretty clear... Good you "added" the SW now - but just as an FYI.

    Autopilot HW is now STANDARD on all Model S series

    The blog post today is very clear and supports what Elon stated last night... "Every single Model S now rolling out of the factory includes a forward radar, 12 long range ultrasonic sensors positioned to sense 16 feet around the car in every direction at all speeds, a forward looking camera...

    New battery for D vehicles?

    Right on Giz! That front motor is like an "overdrive" gear on an ICE transmission. The front motor is half the HP as the rear and with a taller gear the front motor "pulls" the car along on the freeway at your constant speed. This and backing off the 470 HP motor will reduce you draw on the...
