Ludicrous Plus is HERE!

[brianman]

yea, that would be nice.... I would like to see that numbers, but won't drive around in max battery ready mode all the time to see them...

@fiksegts - Since you apparently have Elon's ear, maybe you can tweet him that request and we'll get it before our sun expires.

Or better yet ask him to add a countdown counter till you loose performance permanently!

Really? Just pushing "No, I want my mommy" incremented the counter by 2 and selecting "Yes, bring it on" incremented it by 10 and sent an immediate red alert to the pinheads making these decisions...

what do you mean? they just loosed the full performance today!

A bit slick outside in my area to try the new update. Anyone get the 2.4?

Same thing here. I did confirm the L+ Easter Egg was included in my update. I was able to successfully turn it on following the steps from the video. It is too wet for any full power launches at the moment, but I didn't really notice any change on the butt dyno. I also couldn't drive around waiting the 1+ hours for max battery power to be ready. May be that there is no difference until max battery power is fully available.

I also confirmed as was noted in the video that the additional diagnostic information isn't available until you hit max battery power. It never became available in the 25 or so minutes I drove the car today.

Or maybe that was only accidentally included in the 2.52.22 firmware version and it isn't in the 2.52.36 version.

Also possible. I'll report back if I get a chance to drive long enough to hit max battery power.

Can you clarify a couple of things with your firmware?
1. Is the message new/different from what we've seen before when you choose Max Battery Power without L+?
2. With MBP without L+, do you get any of the new L+ UI in the instrument cluster?

Thanks.

 

[MP3Mike]

I don't think there is a new L+ UI, I think it was accidentally left in the 2.52.22 version, and isn't in the 2.52.36 version.

The same way that some people reported the "Readout" display being available in 2.52.20 and service centers telling them it shouldn't be there.

Lame.

So now DragTimes has been used by Tesla Motors just like Motor Trend was: demonstrating something that customers do not get.

Actually, my car had finally warmed up to max battery power when I went back out to my garage a minute ago. It has the full display shown on the video including the diagnostic info on the left and the purple gauge on the normal power graph on the right.

Great! Thanks for letting us know. Can you confirm which firmware version you have? (.22 or .36)

It looked just like this (from the video):

.36

 

[rowdy]

Has this just voided your warranty?

If there's any problems with your motor, gearbox, or battery in future are Tesla going to say that you accepted the risk of damage?

Car reports:
Peak Motor Power: 161 kW front, 354 kW rear
Peak Batt Power: 573 kW
(at 3:34 mark)

...now, how do we get those "extra" 58 kW to the wheels?!

Peak Battery - Peak front motor - Peak rear motor = waste ("efficiency")
573 - 161 - 354 = 58

uhhhhh watch the video first?

Numbers are from the video.

With the plus mode seems there's still 58 on the table... what would it take to get it to the wheels?

On #1, there is no difference from the way it worked before when you choose Max Battery Power. You only get the additional message if you enable the easter egg for L+.

On #2, you do not get the new L+ UI unless you enable the easter egg. The purple bar shows up immediately, but the diagnostics on the left only show up when max battery power says "Ready".

Here are some pics I took. The first is with L+ engaged, but before it hits MBP.

This is after it hits MBP with L+ engaged.

And more importantly:

Nice

Car reports:

(at 3:34 mark)

161kW + 354kW = 515kW * 1.34HP/kW = 690.1 HP

Close enough to 691HP. Finally.

And the disclaimer box needs a "More information about accelerated wear" button...

Assuming a 95% efficiency rating on the inverter at least half of that 58 kW is lost in the inverter and won't be going to the wheels anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised based on the amount of power if most of that loss is inverter efficiency and the rest is lost to resistance/heat in the wire interconnects.

But I'm just guessing at the numbers.
