Yes, but you're in Canada right? Still, it shouldn't reset something the user set.
Um, why wouldn't you want the settings to be in Metric anyways?
There are a few other things they "reset" in this release. Like Dolby Surround gets turned off.

One improvement in 5.8 that isn't documented is the improved rear camera performance. I think Tesla tweaked the contrast ratio and did something to improve the performance of the camera when water gets on it. Before our camera was worthless when water was on it, now it is actually usable. Here is a picture of how it performs now in the rain.

Another change in 5.8 (not sure folks had seen it in 5.0/5.6) from 4.5 is the look of the media player. The changes are more pronounced in the FM/AM mode than in Slacker. iOS 7-like flat look overall but, the big buttons have more reflections and gradients:
On the other hand, Slacker's song skip/pause/play functions appear, atleast to my son and I, to have become a bit laggy. There's a half-second delay at times between when the button state is changed - say from play to pause - to when the audio is actually affected.

that has nothing to do with any tweaks on contrast ratio but rather how much water and fog is on the lens. you have less of that now apparently.

Seems like sleep still results in some variation -- here's mine: I didn't drive anywhere yesterday and the car lost 5 miles in ~22 hours after yesterday morning's upgrade to 5.8. Will see what happens while parked at work today.
On 5.6, sleep mode seemed to work sometimes and not work at other times. For example, I had 5.6 for 11 days -- and when parked at the work during the day, I'd notice anywhere from 0 to 4 miles lost in ~8 hours. 4.5 was almost always 3 miles lost while at work (in line with the 7-8 per day I experienced on 4.5)...
You are right, the center was instant and it was the instrument that took a few seconds. I know what I meant, but that's not what I typed.
In the new Nav, is there a way to revert to the behavior where a search list is returned after searching for something? I notice that here in Mountain View, when I search for "Peets" for instance, it'll auto-navigate to one in San Francisco instead of the nearest one.
I can push the refresh button and get a list but I'd rather the default behavior be that I can select which destination to go to....

It never re-set the Units before, and I thought it was interesting in the context of another owner who suspects the auto lowering suspension may occur at higher speeds due to a possible US/Metric mixup.
I grew up with miles and gallons and never really agreed with the gov't ramming in the metric system against the majority's will (at the time). This occurred just a few years after the gov't changed Canada's flag, pissing off many WWII veterans who'd fought under the original Canadian flag. I'm not fond of "government knows best", and figure while we still have some freedoms left, I can keep my car's displays in the units I prefer.
Bleh. I liked the instant slowdown. This may have been a traction control issue, though. (To clarify: the instant slowdown is less than desirable on icy roads.)

I noticed the change in regen immediately after upgrading. I even pulled over to check the settings, to see if the update had changed them. I prefer the pre-update regeneration; the new regeneration just feels sloppy. Understand the lcy road issue, but we don't do much icy roads in the urban PacNW (or perhaps this semi-granny driver just doesn't drive when it is icy or snowy :biggrin

My sense of the tweaked regen is that the onset is graduated differently. Rather than a sudden grab, it now eases into full regen. Aside from the snow and ice concern (which isn't an issue for some), the change might make cancelling cruise control less jarring. I was just getting use to putting weight on the goose pedal every time I reached to release the cruise control. That move still feels counter intuitive.... step on the accelerator slightly in order to begin slowing down).

I have to say I haven't noticed any difference in the regen amount, but since I tend to throttle my regen maybe I would not notice a drop in maximum regen power.
