Indeed!

Unfortunately butt dynos are notoriously unreliable

Unreliable in countenance of a specific amount, of course. I am just observing that it is measurable to some degree and enough to bring a little extra joy. Let's not spoil the fun man.

Yea there’s no way someone is gonna “feel” a 5% difference in power...

Not sure how we ended up on this topic...but the Rollaway Protection not working properly presents a critical safety issue, so I thought I would chime in. The way it is supposed to work is if at least 2 out of 3 of the following are conditions are met, it should extremely quickly go to Park from Drive. It should not require that Hold mode be engaged for the Rollaway Protection to work, and it should work ok even if Creep mode is on (I'm a Creeper):

At least 2 out of 3 of these conditions:
1) Seat belt undone
2) Driver Door open
3) Weight removed from driver seat.

I've found that it pretty reliably does this, though there is a defeat if you nail the accelerator quickly enough, concurrent with the satisfaction of the rollaway conditions. It's entirely possible these rollaway protections won't work either if the car is in motion when these conditions are satisfied (so if you try to bail out with the car in motion, or the car is already starting to roll when the conditions are initially met, it might not engage the parking brake). This means that it's possible that if you're in Creep mode, or on a hill, and are in the (bad) habit of removing your foot from the brake before opening the driver's door, you could defeat the protection.

If you're finding that it's not working this way, and not reliably parking the car automatically when the car is stationary and the 2 of the 3 conditions are met, I would strongly recommend having the various sensors checked out, or at least double checking yourself the status of these sensors. The three failures could be:

1) Door open sensor is stuck in the "door closed" position. (This would usually present some other undesirable symptoms I think: specifically the display would not turn off when you exit the vehicle, so an undetected failure is unlikely.)
2) Seat belt sensor is stuck in the "seat belt on" position.
3) Driver weight sensor is stuck in the "seat weighted" position.

To check them, I would conduct the following tests:

1) Does the car detect when your driver's door is open? (by dinging incessantly when in drive with the door open)
2) Does the car detect when your seat belt is not on? (with an icon on the display and annoying chiming when driving above a certain speed)
3) Hardest to test - does your seat weight detector detect when weight is removed from the seat? The way to test this one is to take your seat belt off (display should then show your seat belt is off with an icon above the speedometer), then to lift your butt from the seat while still in the car (basically have to have the strength to brace your weight in various places, using the dead pedal, and the seat back, and center console (lightly!) ) and make sure that seat belt icon turns off.



Left hand pane of display, bottom section, swipe from left to right to get to leftmost "card." You can then scroll up and down on this card (by swiping) to access the various trip meters. You can rename the two main permanent trip meters - many people rename the bottommost one "Lifetime - Do Not Reset". Note that NONE of the meters measure ANY energy consumption when the car is in Park (this turns out to be important and a common point of confusion, and should be seared in your memory).

All my sensors are working fine, and creep is off, but there is for sure some combo of actions that I'm not going to try and replicate that allow the door to be opened and me get out of the car and it not enable park. I'm just in the habit of pressing the button now.

Where does everyone get these statistics from? I see lots of people talking about lifetime averages and things like that, but I’m not sure where to find this info. I’m new to the family, so still learning about this machine

I recommend getting Teslafi. This way you can revisit old journey stats any time you like.

This is what I am using to calculate my battery's total kWh based on Wh/mile usage on a long journey. You just multiply the Wh/mile by total miles, divide by 1000 to get the journey's total kWh use, then divide by percentage used (to get kWh per percent), then multiply by 100.

Nonsense. You should be able to feel a 40+hp increase.

Your car has 800 hp?! I missed that config when ordering

I'm going to guess 170kW for the SR+ as max Supercharging speed. 250kW * (240*209)/(310*234) = 173kW (very approximate)

I really doubt they will do 150kW. 150kW is the max at Supercharger V2 now and you actually get 145kW or so on an LR.

Plus they want to differentiate both cars so if they change anything it will be 120kW, but let's see

would set my bets on 120kW , if anything, but who knows.

The answer is 170kW. No surprises.

Do you still think most people will feel a 5% increase?

I can’t agree more. Teslafi is awesome and I’m going to be sharing more and more of my own experience with it!

Do you know if using Teslafi will give you historical stats before it was linked? Are there logs it’s able to pull to get that info or is it all real-time data it’s pulling?

Don't think it's possible.

That is odd, let's wait and see the real live charging sessions.

V2 doesn't offer more than 145kW anyways, I wonder what the charge curve will be on SR and SR+

 

[Chetanh]

Do we know when the update is going to start for SR+?

It seems like it already started, but Tesla pulled parts of it back.

I would wait the mandatory 2-3 weeks for Tesla updates for the beta testers, hm other drivers, to see if there are some issues with it.

 

[JBT66]

You will only get data from Stats while subscribed.

It seems that the 2019.36.X update will benefit those having FSD more than those that did not opt for it, so it seems logical that the vehicles having FSD will be updated first, if for no other reason, owner feedback. Have any non-FSD 3's been updated?

 

[pdx_m3s]

SR+ owner here. I usually get the update after about 50% or so of the fleet switches to the newest software version. I stopped worrying about it, as it's never never failed to receive an update timely.

 

[AlanSubie4Life]

V2 doesn't offer more than 145kW anyways, I wonder what the charge curve will be on SR and SR

What are you talking about? V2 offers the full 150kW on an LR, assuming optimal conditions. It will be similar in this case, with the same caveats on pack temperature, state of charge, and charging conditions. For example, if the conditions of the pack are such that an LR would only be able to charge at, say, 200kW at a 250kW V3 charger, the SR would be limited to 136kWh (at either a V2 or V3 charger).

The much more important factor here, of course, is that very likely the taper curve for the SR+ has been adjusted to match the LR taper curve (it will likely be the same, scaled by a factor of 170/250). It was the taper adjustment that came with the boost from 120kW to 150kW that really boosted the charge rates.
