Firmware 5.9

[AlMc]

She goes from very high to high upon hitting 22-23mph and then from high to normal about ~33mph. It could be 20/30 and a bit slow to react.. though I was accelerating fairly slow while watching.

Very high to high at 25 mph, high to standard at 35 mph.

Anyone know how to turn off this crazy "hill hold" feature? I was expecting a switch like there is for "Creep" but can't seem to find it.

That's great! Looking forward to using that next winter, driving on un-plowed streets. The earlier thresholds were much too low for that. It will also work better for speed bumps etc.

I am still suffering on 5.8.4 :-(. Maybe I'll go straight to a beta released of 6.0 (even though I am not on the early access program)

Nobody talks about @brainstorms getting upgraded to air suspension??

Pardon my ignorance, a little late to the party
Like many of you, i'm anxiously waiting for 5.9
So the question is
If the energy save mode is on, would you have less chance of an update?
My car is always on wifi with good connection, but i'm not sure how to "prep" the car so i have better chance of getting new firmware

Finally got .94 yesterday. My 80% went from 185 to 199 rated so a gain of 14 miles. I wonder why there's so much variability in how miles we gain back post-update.

No. I have sleep mode enabled. The car wakes up periodically to maintain the 12V, charge at night, or drive. It will download during one of these windows.

Got 5.9 last night. Some weirdness in the update. I told it to install when I got home. My car was plugged in, but that doesn't kick in until 10pm. After the update, it was charging. I stopped the charging and let it charge at it's normal 10pm time and in the morning the car said there was a charging issue and to check the source or cable. But it was fully charged, nothing unusual I could tell.

We'll see what happens tonight.

It's the VIN --> target range lookup table at work; the target range there is a function of how happy/discontented that owner is perceived to be by Tesla

My car "shows" a "gain" of 15.4 rated miles at miles at 80%. I just posted my data analysis from 5.8 -> 5.9 on my car. It MIGHT be able to help explain things a little. Unfortunately I conclude that it's just optical illusion...

The biggest problem with the old software was that for people who did not regularly charge to 90% the algorithm would more and more under-estimate the remaining capacity. So how much you gain back appears to depend on how much the algorithm got out of whack by your charging habits.

No. I have sleep mode enabled. The car wakes up periodically to maintain the 12V, charge at night, or drive. It will download during one of these windows.

The download begins whenever Tesla wants to push it to your car--it doesn't have to wait for the car to be in a "naturally" woken state. Tesla can wake up our cars whenever they want--just like the smartphone app can.

Interesting. I just updated from .88 to .94 this am and I noticed today that when I got back in the car my cell Bluetooth connection auto resumed my audiobook. That was nice. I don't recall this ever happening before.

With similar discussion on multiple threads don't know what to post where. Here's some detail on 5.8 v 5.9 rated miles. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/show...asing-rated-range/page121?p=625878#post625878

I was on 5.9 yesterday (must be the 88 build, since I got my 5.9 update in the very early days). Called the service center to help clear my music cache. They said the firmware needs updating. They pushed a newer 5.9 (build 94, which I guess is the latest right now) OTA.

Music cache is still not cleared though

Sleep mode = Energy saving mode under "screen" menu, right?

 

[franklandfield]

New update out today. I'll get it at midnight.

 

[Chuck Lusin]

I just updated from .88 to .94, nothing new in the notes. Will have to look more.

 

[brianstorms]

This morning, first morning with 5.9, I was curious what the range would say after a routine overnight charge.

Normally when I get up and check the car, the 80% is 197mi. When I checked this morning it was 209 mi.

It may just be a tweaked algorithm, but I like.

On a separate note about 5.9 . . . what is this I see on the map now, in my local area? I see gray charger icons, three of them, one for my garage, and two others on nearby streets.

Which begs the question: are these home chargers? Is Tesla really showing me the location of other personal chargers in residences? And are other local Tesla owners seeing MY home's NEMA 14-50 on THEIR maps?

What's going on here, exactly?

mknox, the Hill Assist feature cannot be turned off. I looked in the controls and didn't find anything.

I like Hill Assist. Try it a few times, you might too.
