Pics are in this thread:

To me, I thought it did sound like the parking brake, but I'd have to re check all of the above.

Just got my car delivered today, and thought I would let you all know, 5.9 is installed by default in cars that came off the line around the 17th(ish).
Was funny because it was the first my DS had even seen 5.9, so thanks to this thread I knew more than my DS did about the car, and I was actually telling him about the new updates! haha!

I tried earlier and it didn't seem to work (it never asked for my location) but PlugShare does indeed work on the new tesla version of the PlugShare site. I'll see if I can find any other sites that will actually prompt for the location.

Oh, also, my DS told me that it was good for me that it came with 5.9, since the way they do the OTA updates, not everyone gets it right away and they shoot it out in batches. So it is very likely that I would have had to wait a month or longer to get it. Just to let those who are really wanting 5.9 for the suspension lowering. However if your Service Center has it, then it might be worth it to just have them install it during business hours so you can get it sooner.
I'm curious to see if I get the update tomorrow. as far as I can remember, ALL of mine have come on Thursdays. wonder if they batch by day
Here's the HTML5 Test results for 5.9:
http://html5test.com/s/7fe3a81f185efdce.html
It is definitely indicating support for Geolocation. Still gets a relatively bad score of 254 compared to most modern browsers. Can someone still running 5.8 go to html5test.com from the car browser and get the output? There is a button to save your results which will give you a URL like above. Would like to see what else might have changed between 5.8 and 5.9 as far as browser capabilities.

The max speed and max kW are different for 60 kWh vs 85 kWh cars (at least in 5.8.x). If anyone has an S60 it would be interesting to see what the max values look like with 5.9 and if they are any different that before.
I have no doubt this is correct. This is the way that every other OEM has implemented this feature; my VW does it this way, as did my 2008 BMW. Neither of those cars were "brake by wire" and both have simple mechanical hand levers for the parking brake.
The ABS and stability control programs require control over brake caliper application, so programming in a slight delay in release is very straightforward.
Doesn't the car max out at 130mph anyway? What's the point of 140+?
In case you go downhill with tailwind on a racetrack?

The P85 and P85+ go to 130mph as you said so not sure why they bumped it up. Would be nice if you could pick top displayed speed (the numeric speed would still display) at maybe 100mph.

Ran the html5 test using 5.8.10. Big difference. Only 164 of 255. I write a lot of html5 code for spherical photos to replace .swf so they will work on I devices. They will not run on the Tesla browser. Maybe 5.9 will make the difference? When I get it I'll see.
Here's the 5.8.10 code:

So the 5.9 browser got 254 out of 555 possible. 5.8 only 164. My iPad 2 on iOS 7.1 (Safari) got 422, just for comparison. Chrome on my iPad got 412.
And nexus 5 = 488 on chrome beta. Plenty of room for improvement on the Tesla web browser then!

Are some of these scores dependent on the underlying hardware? The Tegra 3 behind the touchscreen is so...2011.

Some of the missing functions are missing on purpose. For example, Tesla is trying to ensure that nobody gets video on the display. Still, I agree, lots of room for improvement.
