The two buttons above the scrollers, similar activity reboots the dash instrument cluster.Dumb question: how does one reboot *both* screens? I know you hold down both scroll wheels for one reboot, but how about
the other?
Not yet, I posted before reading the last 150 replies, wherein the discovery was made about the toggle/reboot.

Just another owner's observations. .....
• 0-60 seems to take a little bit longer...
Although I may know a thing or two about Linux... this is not something I'm even working on. For one thing I am now once again extremely happy. I don't have air suspension and the regen issue is solved. But the second reason is that I wouldn't want to mess with the firmware in my car. That's way beyond my risk profile...I'm just waiting for the hack to get your previous version back. Dirk... I'm counting on you!
Have you tried the Toggle/Reboot fix yet? Basically you just Toggle the Regen settings back and forth and then reboot (hold down both scroll wheels at the same time).
An faster alternate I discovered today is: WHILE DRIVING (carefully) toggle Regen settings back and forth. I could immediately feel that "normal" regen operation was restored.
That did NOT work for me. Believe me, I tried. But the reboot did the trick.

My stopwatch still got about 4.2-4.4 for a zero to sixtyJust another owner's observations. My S (standard 85, non-air suspension; coming from 5.0 to 5.8) definitely has a subtly different feel since 5.8:
• 0-60 seems to take a little bit longer
• Regenerative braking doesn't seem as aggressive anymore (which I miss, I liked it)
• Hence, I'm braking more, which has caught me by surprise once or twice in a scary way.
• Subtle differences in range after a charge -- it dropped a tiny bit

One guy did it once.... I'm still getting advertised times. The times fluctuate on other factors too... Soc, wind, etc.... Heh, wind might have been 40 knots at my back tha day, now that I think of it. I was also using a stop watch in one hand on my cell phone. And i was being conservative pressing it only when certain of being stopped and being past 60. Also, I'm in a p85+.IIRC, P85 does 0-60 in 3.9 sec. The numbers on TM's website are incorrect.
Not doubting that we can still achieve those numbers under max acceleration, but I'd be curious if someone can reproduce it on 5.8.

I held both Scroll Wheels down until it rebooted. I rebooted once after toggling the Regen and again after toggling the Steering and Creep modes. Both my Regen and Steering are back to normal! Also, did you see my post above? There "may" be a work around for the "no low at freeway speeds". It appears to work but I need to verify that it actually lowers the car and not just lowers the car on the little screen. It sure felt like it lowered… If true, how cool would that be?
Thank you to whoever was the first to suggest this (bareyb?). I am a little miffed that Tesla hasn't picked up on this install bug yet. These are things that I tend to worry about - Tesla's pushing out changes too quickly without really testing to make sure everything still works. I'm quite surprised that they didn't immediately pick up on this. Especially Elon, I mean he uses this to drive his family around every day. I would expect him to have noticed this bug.
I'm pretty sure that the next time Tesla pushes out a software version, I for sure will NOT be accepting it until a week or two of hearing reports from others about "whats different". I bet most of you are probably going to do the same. It's going to be a bit funny the next time they release because they are going to see a high rate of people NOT installing it. LOL
Early on, the Roadster had an update that made the jolt at the beginning of a throttle stomp less harsh but it retained the exact 0 to 60 speed. Tesla is well aware of the importance of keeping that number intact.

Well, this morning I rebooted per other's comments above. It was 22 degrees outside. Colder than cold. I just did my daily 100.1 mile commute to NYC and I can definitely say that my full regen has been restored after the reboot! I immediately felt the difference, the car pulled back hard like I was used to and would come by itself to an almost complete stop at lights and the toll booths.
This did not work for me.
After over a week and 1000 miles on v5.8, as I've noted earlier I also has this "degraded regen" after the install. The easiest way for me to tell is at toll booths (because I'm "regen'ing" from 60mph to 0) and in the mornings pre-6:00am in NYC when I'm heading north on 10th or 3rd ave - bc the lights turn green in sequence so its go-slow down-green-go-slow down-green-go-slow down-etc etc for 15 blocks. After v5.8 the regen would never stop the car. At the toll booths I would just glide right through. I would have to slam my brakes on at the toll booths and red lights. It was like half power, or quarter-power, or the curve mapping was just heavily skewed in some way that it takes forever to get >30-40kW of regen. These 1000 miles was in different types of weather, from 30-70 degrees. External temps did not make any difference (aka "normal regen" was not restored in 70 degree weather). Even though I could feel a difference by switching regen to low (where it feels like your gliding on air), switching back to normal still just puts you in this degraded state where you just don't get the full regen like it used to be.

I actually like the initial jolt more than the 0 - 60 number. I rarely get to accel all the way up to 60. I would prefer it to be an option. Out of curiosity, was there a reason given for the change on the Roadster?
- - - Updated - - -
I have no doubt the 0-60 is probably as advertised. I suspect it was better than advertised before. What feels different is the initial responsiveness. I notice less jolt off the line, or at any speed. I haven't tried mashing the pedal yet. It may be that it is just mapped differently and I need to adjust.
That did NOT work for me. Believe me, I tried. But the reboot did the trick. I have my beloved SPD (Single Pedal Driving) back!
