Well car was ready for pickup. The upgrade was complete and fully charged. However, when I got in to leave the SC I got the message "Driver Assist Unavailable Contact Tesla". So I walked back in and they tried to recalibrate the sensor but could not do it. Said it would take about an hour to install a new one and did I want to wait. It was about 4 so I said sure. At a little after 5 I get a message on my phone that "software failed to download". Couple minutes later service adviser comes out and tells me they can't download the firmware for the autopilot and don't know what the problem is. I can take the car and the Ludicrous is working but won't have the autopilot. Since they don't know what is causing the problem they might not be able to fix it on Monday. I live about an hour from the SC so decided to take a loaner again. When I got home at about 6:30 my phone has a message that "software download completed" @5:51. Since they are now closed I don't know if they got it fixed or not. So I still haven't been able to see what Ludicrous will do.

When I had mine done at Fremont, they seemed flexible with dates. I couldn't make the first date available last November, and got another one a week (or maybe it was two) later.

Question folks. Have any of you who have had the Ludicrous upgrade done notified your insurance company and if so, did it result in a premium increase? My insurer does stipulate I need to let them know of performance modifications to my vehicle...
Is Ludicrous material?

It says: "Don't forget to notify us of cosmetic or performance modification to your vehicle."

Just got call from Burbank SC and appointment is set for 29th. My SC was the Centinela location but now that Burbank is opened I requested the move to Burbank since it's closer for me.

Thanks. Is it well done from an aesthetic standpoint? Looks good on the photo but up close how is it?

Yes, Centinela called and wanted to setup an appointment and I asked if Burbank can do it as I am closer and they said yes. Back in December they wanted to do my upgrade but I was not available. They had a couple of engineers at that time and they wanted to do it but I couldn't. I asked at that time if I can do it at Burbank but they had told me no at that time but I asked again today and they said ok.

Looks good to me, although I probably should have cleaned the car before taking that photo. The line is exactly the same distance (to the millimeter) under the P and the D.

Perfect. Thanks. One more question if I may. Have you noticed a difference in range under normal driving conditions?

They should be picking mine up within an hour here in Marietta, GA. I forgot about phantom drain -- my range is sitting at 35 miles right now. The dealership is < 7mi away but it is cold so cutting it close
Give it a quick charge.
