Same here. I wanted to like it. I wanted to use it. But it annoyed the hell out of me on narrow two lane roads with "false" alarms. BTW, the lane departure warning on my previous 7 series BMW was just as annoying and got turned off too.

Diagnosis: Emotional attachment to a (delightful) aluminum can with wheels.
Financial Analysis: Appears to be able to afford several substantial upgrades (if offered).
I dearly love my car and all, but one of the things I am ready to do at any time is say goodbye.*
It's just a car.
Buy a new one... if (when) you can afford to, I say trade it in, once there are enough new features out.
This is a technology platform, after all.
* for a newer Tesla only.
No there's more than just him, @wk057 posted that he got this version too a few days ago. Their may be more that haven't updated Tesla Tracker yet.
Please inform us on your progress!
If your version is higher than 7.1, I'll be parking at the Amsterdam HQ (SeC and SuC) first thing this morning.
I'm currently on .102, so will drop by at that SeC within the next week anyhow. But .103 was of course already spotted, so chances for 7.2 of 8.0 are slim.

Ah, update fever! I understand.Please inform us on your progress!

I wonder what it is like to have a car that didn't improve* regularly? I find my memory fuzzy for that period of life.

Haha, that's probably sound advice. My first car was a Honda Civic and I (tastefully) modded the hell out of it. It was a sort of therapy and way to learn about it. Then one day, a distracted, speeding, self consumed, lunatic of a pregnant woman drove up a bike lane, through a red light and totalled my car, a taxi, and her decrepit van. I vowed never to mod cars again, and you just drew attention to my impulse.
Probably a rude message just for WK057 embedded in the code
I'm starting to think the same thing. I spoke to someone locally who was just updated at the same service center... and received 2.24.102.
I have not. P85D is just as big of an energy hog as always. Just did a 55 miles round trip and got 360 Wh/mi driving normally. 366 Wh/mile lifetime efficiency over 28.3k miles. 367 Wh/mi over last 7.5k miles. So, yeah... so much for the P85D being more efficient than the P85.
(For comparison, wife's P85 life average is 326 Wh/mi @ 30.5k miles)Totally bizarre if they created a package just for you.I'm starting to think the same thing. I spoke to someone locally who was just updated at the same service center... and received 2.24.102.

Maybe different driving style also? more ludicrous oriented driving style? !

...but then again, my understanding from his mods and former posts is his MS *is* unique in the world of Tesla. Besides, I don't believe anyone here has ever been able to predict with 100% certainty exactly what Tesla is doing related to update frequency, numbering schemes, availability, or exactly what every update is for, anyway. All we can do is second-guess after-the-fact.

Tesla has hidden torque sleep in the range mode setting. Turn on "Range Mode" and you will experience a roughly 7% efficiency advantage over the RWD models. For whatever reason, I think Range Mode can only be turned on if the car is in Sport mode. I really don't understand why torque sleep can't always be running. It shouldn't even be an option.P85D is just as big of an energy hog as always.

Blasphemer! You're willing to sit around waiting, perhaps reading War and Peace, while your car spins up the second motor to give you
maximum power when you mash the pedal at 70mph [120kph, for our Canadian friends]? Your time is clearly not very valuable!

Haha, it's valuable, but I guess I suck at reading cuz I can't seem to read a long novel in a dozen millisecondsBlasphemer! You're willing to sit around waiting, perhaps reading War and Peace, while your car spins up the second motor to give you

My P85D's lifetime average is 365 Wh/mi and I've had Range Mode set to ON ever since it was available concurrently with INSANE (soon to be LUDICROUS) mode.
I have a 90D so no "sport mode" but when you say there's 7% efficiency advantage what do you mean, Rated Range?

That's really odd and doesn't seem normal, especially if you have a P85 reference that goes on the same roads and trips and it's beating you in efficiency, and by what seems like a large margin. Is your alignment off?
I mean achieved efficiency (not projected) -- as in actual watt-hours per mile/km.
Here's my reference for the details of how this test was conducted:
Their methodology seems reasonable to me.
