Given that decibels are logarithmic, isn't 70 dBa vs. 78 dBa a significant difference? At least this confirms by guesstimate that the 2016 X is as loud as my 2013 S.

I used a dedicated digital sound meter instead of the smartphone. I want to use the best technology to test the Tesla!
Another check is how loud the audio system must be set while driving on the noisy concrete highway. The newer 90D doesn't need as much volume, another way to compare Tesla vehicles without using a meter.

The X was definitely quieter. It had 22" wheels, so I would expect that Model X with 20" tires would be quieter and more like the recent reading in the 2017 MS 90D. My 2012 P85 Model S has 19" wheels with the Michelin tires. If I put the 21" wheels back on before selling the vehicle, I will run another sound check (it should be noisier).
Interestingly (or not), my May 2016 X90D is considerably louder than my March 2014 S P85.

You may want to "report" your post and ask an admin to move it to this thread: Firmware 8.1 - Classics
Just got a notification for a new updates--downloading now. TBH, I am pretty happy with where the car SW is right now. I don't have any expectations of big new features, just refinements of existing features like nav. The one big thing left on m wishlist is better voice recognition--both a better hit rate and more commands.

You might want to post that here: Firmware 8.1 - Classics instead since that is Firmware 8.1 and this is the 8.0 thread.
Same bugfix build two days ago.
It so happened my wife was driving it, and the car stayed on "powering up" for about 5 minutes when she got in the car, and then the center console functionality appeared to be locked up. Had to have her reboot it, and then all was fine.

Not sure if this is a bug in the latest firmware, and would love it if someone could confirm for me:
I was plugged into a Supercharger and charging, and when I pushed the windshield washer button, I got the spray of fluid but no wiper action. Turning the wipers on by rotating the switch wouldn't work either. All other 12v accessories were working fine. Once I unplugged, the wipers started working again. Not sure why the wipers (and the wipers only) were disabled during charging.

That doesn't have anything to do with supercharging. I've noticed that when the car is off (with just displays powered) in my garage. Pressing the brake pedal to turn the car on will then activate the windows.

This I have noticed as well, even when not plugged in (like when I button up at Cars and Coffee so I could then let the AC cool the car down before I hop in to leave).
