Dolby has improved somewhat since .19, but its not carrying a consistent, rich sound. I continue to turn it off. Are you liking it now?
You know how taste-testers eventually loose tastebud sensitivity, well maybe the sound engineer.............nah forget it.

I am on 2.32.23 and FLACs with good bass sound very much improved over 2.28.19. Actually best with Dolby on. YMMV
Kinda wish I could dual boot from one version to the other.... to make a good test. Tesla needs VMware... jus kidding..

I don't keep it on consistently but I find depending on genre of music I sometimes keep it on. It's now hit or miss when before it was 100% miss.
That's kind of par for the course for this kind of postprocessing though. Some cars give you a slider for the amount of surround sound effect you want -- generally the settings below 50% are what you want for everyday listening, and cranking it up it either sounds really good or really awful depending on the track.

My question to you now is: Do you have some way to force an update so that you get the latest firmware and are able to decipher what's changed? There are only 10 reported through the tracker for this particular FW but you always are able to get the FW.

I like a slight fade and the Dolby just hates it. Oh well, as you pointed out the miss rate has been cut in half which is significant.

Nothing new. MS can and does turn on cooling (and heating) to preserve its battery pack's health regardless of your HVAC settings, so there has always been some potential to moderate the cabin temp as a result. If you keep it plugged in to wall power, it will draw from there to accomplish the task instead of using its own battery power.
Some owners report that changing Range Mode ON or OFF varies when that takes place, but I have not personally observed that difference myself. Also, there have been reports about recent firmware has become more aggressive with actually turning on cabin cooling... bubbles on touchscreen Is one such comment.

True, however - how does keeping the vehicle at 68-70 degrees make any logical sense? Seems like that would consume a lot more energy whereas normal operating temperature are a lot higher.

Did you read the reference in my link stating AC does seem to come on, and the context of the thread that is part of as perhaps one reason why Tesla may be exploring this?
No one here is gonna have guaranteed facts on Tesla's logic, as there is minimal reference in the Owners Manual and of course there are no substantive release notes with firmware updates. I was trying to help with references to what people have seen, but you could always call the 800# 7x24 and ask your question directly of Tesla Tech Support. Good luck!

I am on the wider release 2.32.23. Someone else posted before (but I can't find it) that they had a weird surge in energy consumption. Well, I had it too. For reference, I drive a MS 70D, I should not have an energy consumption as pictured. What is going on here?
It spikes as high as around 750Wh/mile!!
I mean, I do like to hit it every once in a while, but I never had more than 380, maybe 390 Wh/mile.

I agree with this. The temperature sensor does not constantly update when the ventilation system isn't running. Sometimes I've had the app show me a completely bogus temperature reading around 70 and then as soon as I turn it on, it jumps to 110 or something more believable.
I turned on the climate control and it confirmed 70 degrees.
I had it set to 74. So it's odd it's cooling even below that.
