Yes, all Sigs had dual chargers. However I wouldn't bother putting in 80A worth of supply (100A circuit). When you start the day full, drive an average day of, say, 100 miles, get home and plug it in, have it set to start to charge at 1am (or whenever your cheap electricity starts), it'll still be full in the morning even at 32A (NEMA 14-50 dryer outlet). We got our Roadster in 2009 and Model S in 2012, and I can count on one finger the number of times I didn't have all the charge I needed in the morning, without ever installing an HPWC for either car.
Question for Signature owners out there is anybody running a software version equal to 2018. 24 or better that is able to take advantage of the new speed limiting features that just got added to the mobile app?
I've always been curious and it would be interesting to know what the most recent software version is out there in the wild running in a signature car.

I am on 2018.20.. guess I'm doing better than I thought lol! That came around the same time I got the new navigation beta. I like the new voice better.

Someone has reported getting 2018.24.1 on a classic Model S, and the speed limiting feature wasn't available. They though the reason for that is that the speed limiting enables Chill mode as well as a limit and Chill mode never came to the classic Model Ss.
Here is that post: Software Update 2018.24.1 12dd099

And happy the Traction Control ON/OFF is still there. Not many can "burn a little rubber" now and again.2018.14 still. Happy to be last and best, instead of first and well, you know.
Oh well I guess it had to happen sooner or later that our cars are going to go the way of Windows XP just glad to have gotten what I got. Seems pretty unlikely at this point if they'll be any groundbreaking updates for the signature cars and or classic older model S pre autopilot cars.
But I'm still grinning and enjoy driving my Sig every day. Just got back from driving it across country back to Pennsylvania interesting trip learned a lot about the car and its capabilities that was the first time I've stretched its legs like that.

Was a P85, Signature Red with black interior. Enjoying autopilot on my replacement - P100D. But still bummed to lose a "first 500" car.

That's terrible to hear about another Sig biting the dust. Glad DaveVa is ok. I would be curious also how many Sigs are left. I haven't seen one in a few years but ran into Sig 592 (I think) the other day at a charger. Her and her husband were a orig owner and still love the car.

I have Canadian Sig 2028 which is number 28 in Canada. 73k kilometers 2nd owner got it with 16k on it. Still runs like its new. It's in for service right now and I just checked the app and I've been updated to 2018.24.1 12dd099. I'm driving a 2016 Model X 90D as a loaner and I'm in love with this car. Not as quick as mine but the tech in the X is amazing.

Interestingly my Sig has 2018.14.2 although I’ve never noticed a difference between versions.(other than the Easter Eggs)
If I remember correctly there were a total of 2500 Signature cars produced (approx 500 went to Canada) and I don’t think that they were all 2012s. Sig Red was a distinctive color but I find it hard to tell the other Sigs without seeing the Signature emblems up close.
If there are less Sigs on the road either due to being written off or end of life, I’d hope there haven’t been a lot. Mine is still running beautifully and although it’s now "lower" tech than the newer Tesla’s , the temptation to trade it in for Model 3 disappears as soon as I get in and drive.

Model 3 isn't as fast, sexy, spacious or practical as a sig. I have rear facing seats and with a 6 and 7 year old that feature alone takes the cake for me. My performance white seats are still in pristine condition.

I heard there was 1000 Signatures but that number is slightly higher than a 1000 because of some sent to Canada. Super interesting! Never heard a 100% verifiable truth though. As for Signature paint has been on non Signature cars. Mine is still fantastic! Although less miles than most I assume at about 63,000 miles.Interestingly my Sig has 2018.14.2 although I’ve never noticed a difference between versions.(other than the Easter Eggs)
