Firmware 5.6

[apacheguy]

The car appears to be going to sleep since I see the dash doing its ~11 second wake up, and Visual Tesla gives me the sleep warning if I open that app while the car is sleeping. I did try rebooting both screens when we returned from the trip yesterday.

In addition to rebooting the screens, you may want to try pulling the screen/3G connection fuse. Not sure what if it'll help, but it's worth a shot. Let us know if and how you manage to fix it.

I wonder if it's temperature dependent? I know how 4.5 behaved last summer when I was away (Charged exactly 2.5 kWh every other day while sitting). I'll be going away again in mid-December and hope to have 5.6 by then so I can see. I'm still on 4.5.

I would love to see some comparison numbers for this. How much range is lost at 70° at 50°, etc...
Being that I am not in a cold environment, my contribution would be of limited help. I hope to be taking my MS to the mountains this winter, where I frequently see temps at 0°. I may not have the option of plugging in, so this would be valuable info to me.

BTW, overnight (11 hours) I lost 1 mile of range on 5.6 in sleep mode. Garaged at 70° or so.

On 4.5, temperature did not seem to impact range loss -- my car was pretty consistent at losing 7-8 miles per 24 hours, and ~3 miles when parked for 8-9 hours when at work. Temps have ranged from ~60-110+, but no experience with anything below ~60...

On 4.5, I lost close to 10 miles rated range at temps below 50. havent gone below 28 yet, that will be next week

5.6 Upgrade Resulted in "Downgrading" My Car?!

Has anyone else seen this?

Before I had 5.6, I had a P85+. You're gonna hafta trust me on this one.

After I got 5.6, I now have a P85. Refer to pix.

Thanks,
Alan

but if that's what really happened, that's actually kinda funny. at least you weren't downgraded to a software limited 40 or something like that LOL

i'm sure they can fix it if you give them a call...

I'd be willing to be that a reboot will fix that.

Note: Added this problem to the Model S Firmware 5.x Bug Tracker Wiki.

IF the reboot doesn't fix ... one call to Tesla (Factory) and they can send a note to engineering to correct it.

Mine was missing the spoiler at one time and it was resolved in 4-6 hours remotely.

Mine was parked in the garage Temp 60 degrees. I have 5.0

Over the weekend i had a chance to leave my car unplugged and garaged for more than 6 hours. I have 5.6

Day 1
13 hours unplugged
Rated Range lost = 4 miles
Temp was in high 40s F

Day 2
12 hours unplugged
Gained 3 Rated :scared:
Temp in beginning was in Low 50s but low 30s when I drove off

Is this like when you put a battery in the fridge to eek out a little more juice? My standard charge has now gone up from 223 to 229. Very odd but im not complaining. I was originally worried my last data points might indicate a linear loss of 4 rated miles each 6hrs but that's nkt the case. Maybe the most range lost is in the beginning before the deep sleep.

I had been waiting patiently to receive Firmware 5.6. Today, I called Tesla Service and asked them nicely if they could push an update to me. 2 hours later, the update is here. Car is installing the now. Nice!

The loaner that I had recently with 4.5 was a Plus but the in-car display did not include "+" in the art. Just another data point.

My P85+ never showed a plus in any of the software windows. 4.5 or 5.6. Are you sure it ever did show it? I believe I emailed ownership and they said that the + does not show up in the software.

For clarification, I emailed them when I first received the car.

I had to call Fremont Service twice to get one of them to try to contact their engineers to do this. He couldn't guarantee anything but it was much better response than the first rep who said he couldn't do anything for me but to try calling Ownership.

I also asked if they could give priority to those who prepaid a service plan, both replying they never thought of that before and didn't think it was a bad idea. I couldn't tell if that was a standard reply to politely ignore a request.

Did you ask them when we can actually start buying service plans? :frown:

You should be able to do that from your Tesla page. If it's forbidden by law in your state I guess you can try to write a letter to your Congressman, lobbyist, etc., maybe start one of those "We the People" petitions that seems to go no where.

It's not forbidden, it just needs Tesla to get their act together.

I was hoping by the time I get my car back we could get Verizon and ditch AT&T

Whatever the monthly service rate will be, I'd pay a surcharge to NOT be on AT&T! Having worked for the Death Star in the past, and having zero coverage with them at home (versus 3 bars through Verizon), I'd be insane to prefer them as a network provider for my car!

I have a plus and the displays have always said "P85".
