Firmware 5.8

[tanner]

Interesting data point. Upgrade 4.5 to 5.8. Before upgrade range showed 352 km. After upgrade range showed 345.

On the other hand, the screen that shows/controls % charged indicated the car was lower than my set point.

Yeah, apparently adjustments to how range is calculated were introduced with 5.6, which are obviously still present in 5.8.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I only got the upgrade notice yesterday morning, I didn't install it as it was going to be a long driving day (which is why I said I hadn't checked the behaviour today). My expectation is that had I installed it, it wouldn't have mattered much. Note my average is 257 Wh/mile over 13,400 miles, so YMMV. I suspect it makes more difference to handling than it does to range unless you're going 70+ mph.

Ah! Yes, that makes much more sense now. I was mostly talking about range at highway speeds. Interesting, that's a good point, I wonder if it won't handle as well at higher speeds now. Also, I'm going out today on the freeway and I'll certainly do some tests (especially with leaving the car at a higher setting to see if it auto-adjusts).

LOL, yup I must have missed v5.8 by hours if not minutes.

Yes I received my update this morning.

Just got back to the car from my son's swim class and I see yet another update waiting for me!!!

False alarm; 1.49.24 was installed a second time for me and it appears, a minor bug (see my car in Blue in the picture before the second update) with the display of the car in "About Your Tesla" was addressed:

Saw something interesting on my first charge after 5.8 (.22). Charge started at 35% SOC, with a target of 50%. At 44%, it jumped to 49%. Charge completed at 50%, a full 30 minutes earlier than expected. During the SOC jump, the rated range increased at a steady pace.

Okay, so, I've had a chance to drive my P85 (active air suspension) with v5.8 (.24) and I noticed that I still have the "low" setting for my suspension. Furthermore, I'm not able to adjust the ride level while going over 10mph and it still automatically adjusts back down to lower levels if I manually set it to "very high" for example. I'm disappointed. If you Google "Tesla firmware changelog" and click the second link, it states that 5.8 brings the following enhancement:

"Deletes automatic lowering of air suspension at high speed"

Does that simply mean that it won't go to the "low" setting while going freeway speeds, but it will still automatically lower the car from "high" or "very high"? If so, this isn't an improvement at all!

Just checking...everyone else has been reporting 1.49.22 up to last night?

I think I was the first to report .24 this morning in the post: Firmware 5.8 - Page 17

I also updated the wiki...

 

[Klaus]

For reference, the 5.8 update (.24) took 34 minutes in my 60.

(I sat in the car and read the other thread about disabled highway speed lowering to keep me entertained )

Does any one know how to make the car show the 21" wheels verses the 19" that came on the car?

Call service center (or ownership) and ask them to push a setting change for you. It took less than two hours end-to-end last time (and was probably more like 15 minutes).

Awesome thanks

Have we confirmed that. 24 affects suspension like 0.22? There seem to be varying reports that it does not.

If they had to push a change out that fast, I'd bet my house that it was to fix something they broke. We just don't know what it is yet.

It seems all of the .24 receivers are 60kw ... Unless I missed something. I don't feel like going back through this thread to double check, but that seemed to be a trend when I went through it the first time.

Edit: except tanner.... Nvm, guess that isn't it, the 60s evidently feel the need to identify that they are 60s and the rest of us don't... Or something.

Just starting the update from 5.0. Lets see how long it will take with 3 bars on 3G. Exciting!

There's a whole thread (with a lot of upset folks) discussing that -> Air-Suspension-no-longer-lowers-at-highway-speeds-(FW-update-v5-8)

P.S. The changelog is here on TMC -> Wiki/Model S software-firmware changelog

Is it just me, or is regen less aggressive in 5.x (I came from 4.5)? My regen is set to standard, but I don't feel the car pulling quite as much when I let my foot off the accelerator. I could just be over analyzing it.

 

[yobigd20]

Can someone with .24 check the supercharger map and see if any new ones have popped up?

Mine feels exactly the same as normal.

Also make sure creep is off .... just in case.

My P85 got .24 this morning. Was previously on 4.5. I have not seen the suspension lower today.
