I also leave mine in ‘basic’ Ludicrous mode all the time. No reason not to do so. I only use L+ to access “Max Battery” pre-heat to ensure my battery temperature is at least in high 70’s F, which yields at least motor output >600hp down to 70% SOC. I never use launch mode since initial 1/8th...

Charger in my Model S P100D is 72amp at 240V 17kW.

:) Great news! I ordered the tri-motor and would be happy to get it sooner.

I plan to keep the MS P100D for the long haul, even if a quicker MS comes out. By the time my tri-motor truck is really delivered may be 2023/2024 and my current car may be 7 years old and need replacement. I have previously owned many trucks and this one may replace one of our ice vehicles...

I used the 1500W heater for the initial test alone, then turned it off and stepped the Tesla load from 10A up to 35A (8400W, 35A, 240V). Above that current the generator began to slow/stall.

Close to the published rating. I do have a few 40 pound tanks. I didn’t buy it to charge my Tesla, haha. With our frequent PG&E power shutdowns whenever it gets windy in CA is why. The Tesla is just a convenient programmable load test fixture.

Yesterday I used my Tesla as a variable test load for a new 8kW (propane) generator.

Launch night my first impression was that the CyberTruck was hideous. The next morning I reserved the tri-motor version. I just couldn’t pass up the advertised capabilities. I still think it ugly, but by the time it’s available I may change my mind.

In the “cold” months, I use max battery to preheat to 80F (can bus) on AC power before I leave the house every day, as 80F yields 508kW battery output power and 450kW (~600hp) combined mechanical output power (all can bus) at least down to 80% SOC. If it just charged in the garage then max bat...

Hit the “Max Battery” Soft button on P-cars. Use can bus data to read cell temperature (as well as battery V,I & power, motor mechanical output power, etc. Use an app like “Scan My Tesla”.)

99+% of time in “regular” Ludicrous daily-driver mode, preheating battery to at least 80F before driving (using can bus data). The other <1% time in Ludicrous-Plus mode (with battery at 122F) reserved for the rare VBOX-instrumented accel test.

SSedan - My daily car before my Model S was also an SS, a ‘14 which I Whipple-supercharged and tuned. Its 630hp/4100 lbs power/weight ratio was greater than my P100D 680hp SAE net / ~5000 lbs. But the Tesla’s vastly higher torque (780 lb*ft) coupled with AWD traction & zero shift times make all...

Turbo3 - any possibility of a screen that shows very large numerical display of traction battery power output (V*I product) while graphing said parameter? Love the app.

Thanks! Set to record.

I never did find out what that 3rd parameter being plotted is. Couldn't get rid of it either.

I'm still on 17.14.23 - since April 23. But no new AEB yet. ( I didn't pay for any auto pilot software at purchase so maybe no AEB for me?)

Still waiting for update. Currently on 17.14.23

The only data point I have with max battery on and at servo temp 50C is from Jan 12ish right after the Easter Egg was unveiled and I ran Ludicrous+ but didn't successfully use Launch mode. I was at 64% SOC and got 548.7kW. Pictures attached. Before I had TM-Spy or VBOX.

Ok I just posted the data in that thread (essentially no change from the previous software version.) Power limit with latest software update: Data

----------- With latest software update Newest software release: 17.14.23 Power with ludicrous (@ SOC%): 538kW@82%, Current 1782A, Voltage 302V. Test performed 4-24-2017 (no plus) Power with ludicrous and max battery ready (@ SOC%): Power with ludicrous, max battery ready and launch mode...

@n2mb - thanks - worksheet works great

I finally tested that worksheet. Works great! Thanks

Did a quick roll-on acceleration (30-75 mph or so) power check this morning after installing latest software update yesterday 17.14.23 using TM-spy: 537.8 kW, 1781.9 A @ 82% SOC, standard Ludicrous mode only, no Ludo+, no max battery power, no launch mode. Seems about same for that SOC as...

I don't like the req't of launch mode and waiting for max battery power mode to reach temperature either (so I don't do it), but in basic Ludicrous mode getting 549kW at 88% SOC seems to be only down ~26kW from the best reported battery power numbers with max batt power and launch mode at >90%...

No I haven't. I started writing an excel spreadsheet to decode but ran into some limitations (of its included binary operations) and got stuck.

There is live graphing. I run it every time I drive. Then I scroll back and find the fun times - high power runs. Here's a sample screenshot.

Thanks.

Updated (or renewed) iOS beta version is working fine for me

Mine too. And I'm hooked on it and need it working. Have to break out my other android phone which has the app.

I have TM-Spy up and running on iOS on my P100D. Nice app! Attached plot of battery power and voltage for a 0-70 mph test run at 88%SOC, just using Ludicrous mode, not using max battery, Ludicrous plus or Launch mode. Question: is the top yellow plot current? perhaps normalized to some...

Here are some graphs using VBoxTools.com analysis of 0-60 mph test result posted above. Vbox attempts to calculate wheel hp from acceleration data with car weight, wheel+tire inertia (& drag coefficient & area). I posted my inputs 5230 Lbf weight etc.

I agree with you. Don't want nuisance tripping!

Even if true, what's the big deal? At least for 50A charging circuit requirement, 240V, 50A, 2pole GFI circuit breakers are common, can swap out existing breaker, and cost under $100. I had to put one in when I wired my spa. Square D Homeline 50 Amp 2-Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker HOM250GFICP at The...

Addendum to my post #10 above... I installed my new Racelogic Vbox tonight, charged to 90% SOC, and performed a new test with Vbox and TM-Spy on CAN bus. Newest software release: 17.9.3 Power with ludicrous (@ SOC%): 549kW@88% Test performed 3-29-2017 (no plus) Power with ludicrous and max...

Car type: P100DL delivered 12-26-2016. Battery version: 1086755 Previous software release: 2.50.180 Power with ludicrous (@ SOC%): 530kW@84% Test performed 1-5-2017 (no plus) Power with ludicrous and max battery ready (@ SOC%): Power with ludicrous, max battery ready and launch mode (@SOC%)...

I just decided to order a VBOX today; Should get it in a week or so. Then can do a better test.

I just did 3 back-to back runs comparing a subset of the power options, no launch mode. Approx 70%SOC. 1. Ludicrous mode, no max battery 2. Ludicrous mode, max batt enabled, not ready (just after enabled) 3. Ludicrous Plus mode, max batt enabled, not ready (just after enabled). Batt temp ~35C...

Mine works today (after 2 days of intermittent outages) with no special action required.

Yesterday it worked in AM, went out midday, worked this morning, and is now out again in the middle of the day (SF, CA area). Occurs using the Tesla app or using the Remote S app. I was just looking at one of the Facebook Tesla Sites and people are reporting it out all over US and a Europe.

Good point. I guess @fiksegts car is AP1 since it's one of the first P100D's.

Yes I saw this video too in which he says P100D. But the picture shown is a P90D (a little blurry though). And the update has not been pushed to mine.

I was only nine days ahead of you and I received my stickers late last week. You should get them in the next few days.

@JonMc - does this update apply to my Model S P100D (late Dec'16 delivery), or only to P90D / P85D models? I haven't received any software update notice and current software version is 17.5.28. Thanks.

Yes that's what I understand. But I was surprised to see Dragtimes new video clip today (link from twitter on YouTube) that indicated that he had received his software update "software performance reduction removal " for his Model S P100D. I noticed the picture looks likes his P90D but kind of...

Is Tesla being selective on the deployment of the limiter-removal software update? I haven't received any notification yet for my late-December-delivery P100D. I saw the video today that DragTimes got their update for the P100D.

My head can't get enough of the launch (in regular Ludicrous mode, w/o using launch control). I was used to the launch of my previous 630hp rear-drive car, but due to limited traction didn't subject me to nearly as much acceleration as my P100D. Having said that, I've only tried the "Ludicrous...

I applied for the ugly stickers on Jan 5 before I had received license plates, using requested personalized plate number, for which I had applied back on November 6 when I ordered the car. (Thanks to the tip on this thread I believe). Regular plates arrived late January. Today I received the CA...

Power tools app measures battery electrical output power. With P100D in L+ mode there is a new display showing motor input power, which combined is which is about 6% less than powertools battery output power (reasonable inverter loss). "SAE net" power is (motor) output power. Still not power to...

The other interesting piece is Motor Trend is stating (SAE net) combined motor output power is 680 hp. I haven't seen this stated before, just individual max motor hp (which aren't necessarily achieved simultaneously).

Thank you Jon.
