I wasn’t paying attention in April but that 5% took LR RWD down to 5.0 seconds?I also did not find much difference, measured only 0.1s, but remember we already got 5% increase back in April, another 5% would be double dipping

Interesting. I find it to be quite noticeable, especially with daily driving. I haven't even tried a full throttle run yet, but I thought this update was more noticeable than the previous one, especially on lower speeds from 0-40mph.
Agreed. My LR RWD fee significantly faster, the pedal response is way more powerful early on.
I didn't feel much with the last 5% update (if at all). But this time it changed the way the car drives entirely.

Chill should be much worse, in the 7-8 second range.
Back in April, the LR RWD went from 310m to 325m range and 5% more power, which I measured as going from 5.3s to 5.0s in 0-60 times (full throttle)

Yup, it was also officially posted as 5.0 0-60 by Tesla before they ceased offering it online. But even if you look at their "existing inventory", the LR RWD have the 325 range and 5.0 time listed.

Has anyone measured if there is a battery power increase in the P3D? Just measured mine prior to the update, 349 kW peak. I'll re-measure tomorrow after the update....

Yeah, that was before the update. Just got 385 kW this morning after the update. Nice! That was with a cold battery at 91% SOC, not using track mode (although I don't think that changes much).
Interesting. That means they didn't necessarily find a more efficient motor control algorithm that makes more power with the same battery input. They maybe found a way to pull more power out of the battery at the same voltage and speed. Or they just believe they can allow 5% more amps from the battery now without worrying about long term failures. I had assumed the P3D was battery limited before the update. I wonder how many more amps they can pull? I believe someone has accessed the firmware to find the peak amp limit, so it should be out there.
For the Model 3 Performance: 385 kW / 75 kwhr = ~5.1C.
The P90D pulls over 6C, although with a different cell and with some long term reliability questions. The P100D pulls ~5.8C, so I guess there may be still more power to be had.

Very cool, sorry I misread your previous post - so you had 349kw (~468hp) before the update, then 385kW (~516hp) after the update, which is actually about 10% increase. Awesome!

Yup! Probably some noise in there, but it was similar SOC in both: 89 vs 91% SOC. Maybe the battery was warmer this morning? But, either way, still pretty good!

I agree - this 5% update you can feel easily vs. the last one. It was almost like the same surprise feeling the first time I punched it after the car was delivered.

It's only displaying cones for HW3 cars. According to verygreens analysis of the actual AP data though it's SEEING them internally in either HW version, just only displaying them in visualizations for HW3 cars.

Strange, I'm on same release as you and definitely am seeing cone recognition. Drive through a construction zone everyday on my way home and they show up.
Likely then you have a more recent Model 3.
HW3 cars see cones.
HW2.5 cars do not.
Not sure the exact date when they switched over the HW ; sometime around April / May of 2019.
I charge to 90% My range when new was 279 miles now after 10,000 miles its 269-272 miles of range
