Firmware 6.2

Definitely going to have to look into this...

Yep I was surprised too. My inner treads were less worn than the inner/outer ones, then I noticed 50 psi and thought I was wrong this whole time with 45 psi - turns out they changed their recommended pressures. I believe the door jam placard also states 45 psi IIRC. If you find out why they changed it, please do let us know!

Isn't it supposed to be every 5000 miles? Or does that not apply to the D's? It was just based on my experience with the previous P85 which I took in about every 5000 miles.

I'm not sure what the recommended rotation schedule is, as it differs between staggered or non-staggered setup, but with the D it seems that it would be less frequent since the rears are no longer the only tires doing all the traction work.

When I asked the service manager about it, he confirmed that the new recommendation for 19" tires on the P95D is 50 psi.

No one else noticed that MarcG inadvertently leaked the news on the battery upgrade that is coming?

(yeah, I know, I should have resisted...)

Oops my bad (now I'm going to get sued for breaking the NDA... :biggrin
Not the first time I fat finger the model number BTW. Should just call it PD from now on!

Ok I just checked the manual and tire rotation is indeed recommended every 5,000 miles:

Interesting. You're saying every time you hit the park button on the stalk the handles go in or out? I'm on 6.1 and mine only present. Additional presses of the button do nothing.

What I was referring to was that after the handles retract, pressing the park button the handles present. (a semiautomatic toggle). This is a new feature in 6.1. And they will present every time. But no you can't press and have them go in and out with each press (my guess is that the kids might wear them out pretty quick if that's what they did).

When I asked the service manager about it, he confirmed that the new recommendation for 19" tires on the P95D is 50 psi. Could explain the uneven wear while we were running at 45 psi (under inflated).

what tyres is that? Would it also apply to the standard 19" tyres?

Yes, it applies to the 19" tires.

 

[Mayhemm]

Yes, it applies to the 19" tires.

Anyone know if they've also changed their recommended PSI for the 21" tires?

Thread search isn't working for me, so sorry if others have already reported:

After updating my Classic P85+ to 6.2 today I noticed the park assist safety chime was turned off. I always have this on and find it very valuable given a tricky home parking space. I found it odd that this update seemed to default it back to OFF.

That's a new one, I don't think anyone has reported this.

And BTW: the best way to search on TMC (thank you, bonnie):

https : //www.google.com/#q=park+assist+chime+upgrade+6.2+site:teslamotorsclub.com

Or for the less hard core people, in the search bar enter "park assist chime upgrade 6.2 site:teslamotorsclub.com"

Seems to depend who you talk to. Our SC is still suggesting 42 psi as of today but I have sent an email looking for more clarification, quoting feedback from here. They must love TMC

That's probably just because of the conversion from US to Canadian.

Updated to 6.2 last night.

- noted that the radio starts in mute mode every time it is off for a while. Strange new "feature" that I don't particularly like.

I noticed this (I will call it a bug) the other day. This is the only place I have seen this documented after searching for it.

I kept thinking I had somehow hit the mute when getting into the car. This morning I was listening for it. What I heard was: Open door and start getting into the car. The FM radio was playing, then as I pressed on the brake, the car started powering up and the radio muted. WTF? Why? It was playing before. When I tried to unmute it wouldn't unmute until I changed the station. I rebooted a few times but I am still seeing the same behavior. This is very annoying to me. I hope they revert this soon!

There's another "6.2 bugs" thread and I posted there as a bug, only to be told it is allegedly a "feature". NO idea why they would have changed the prior behavior of attenuating upon entry and exit, but then returning the volume to the prior level. It worked great, nobody complained. Now this is a pain in the but requiring readjusting the volume every single time you enter the car.

Thanks. I posted there in case anyone at Tesla is listening and counting the dissenting voices on that one.

they should make it a configurable option. One of my pet peeves in sitting down in a quiet car and then suddenly the stereo starts BLASTING me in the face.

Depends on the tune, doesn't it? Julie, can you illustrate this one? I think would be good add to your tesla book!

Of course it didn't do it this afternoon. It worked the same way it always has. Maybe it is because I opened and closed the passenger door before getting in the driver's seat...

well in the case of my SO having used the car last... it's usually gangsta rap, LOL.

I am working on another tesla comic soon (involving batteries). But that would be a fun idea too

I just received a software update alert. P85D already on 6.2.
