MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

[dvaz]

I agree, I find no creep safer than creep. I guess difference of opinions to others which is fine. Long time habits are hard to break but I can gaurantee if we never had creep and someone introduced it nobody would use it. They'd probably consider it more dangerous .. how can you possibly let the car move without me telling it to! what if my foot slips? etc.

I guess Creep is made for people that have been driving automatics all their lives, old habits die hard. The TM3 Its basically an automatic as well.

I have driven manual all my life till the model 3, so creep made no sense to me - you can't move forward on the manual unless you are in gear and you let the clutch off slowly anyways. I do enjoy rolling back and forth sometimes when im bored and seeing people give the wtf look

Coming from 3 pedals to one pedal is too much of a jump for me anyways, so ill keep using the brake to hold. Maybe ill do give that one pedal mode a try again in the future, but for now its a nope for me dawg.

Can’t wait to try the hold mode. When does the car stop? I usually coast a lot right now under 5mph so I don’t hit the brake till the car is at like 2mph and there aren’t any cars close behind me. I’m guessing hold will kick in sooner than I currently normally brake, which probably won’t take too long to get used to.

Not quite sure how to answer this, but it’s done very well. It just gradually comes to a gentle stop. It’s good. I would always try and time my decelerations so I don’t use the brake pedal anyway (except the end). If that’s you, then you will love hold mode.

I tried the new hold mode, not sure how I feel about it. The reversing feels very strange. It will definitely take some getting used to it.

Got 2019.36.2.1 last night. Rushed out this morning to try out one-pedal mode. Seeing as it was 40 degrees out, the regen braking was so minimal out of the driveway that I couldn't do a real test. Oh well, will wait for warmer weather, or a warmer battery. Happy to have it though.

 

[Ayy Eye]

Just got it, anyone know how significant the power increase is for the P3D+? Any time shaven off the 0-60?

So far really enjoying new hold feature. Took a few stops to get the hang of it. Now it’s become a game to see how long I can go without using the brake. Made it from downtown to Napa today with just one brake tap.

Hold mode seems ok, but backing out with it is going to take a lot of getting used to. The thing I like about creep mode is that forwards or reverse, you’re controlling it with the brake, so something unexpected happens, your foot is already in the right place to stop immediately and there’s a lot less chance of getting confused in a moment of panic and accidentally stepping on the accelerator. I’ll have to test it some more. Swapping modes with a different user profile is a great idea.

Can we get back to cones? Really disappointed it's only showing cones that are standing up! I want to see ALL the cones. Any one else have this issue? They shouldn't have released this without making the cone detection better, this is getting out of hand.

Love the hold.

Now that winter, salt and a lot of wet weather is here how do yo think hold is going to affect the rotors? I guess with limited regen in colder weather we will still need to press the brakes but I'm curious if some might rust out.

Yes - the reversing on a steep slope now requires the pedal to constantly be used. When I back out of my driveway, i'm backing down a steep slope into my alleyway, gravity would normally cause me to use the brake but now I have to use the accelerator. Not a big deal, it's easy to learn how to manage it - and the auto stop / hold mode is really nice!

That's a great question. Are we sure the brakes aren't used by the Tesla algorithm for the last 3-5 MPH with that issue in mind?

It literally says on the on-screen description when you enable the mode that it blends in then brakes.

 

[skrtskrt]

Anyone get it in Michigan yet?

 

[jebinc]

Looks like the latest release stalled, like 36.1 did. Here's to hoping we see 36.3 soon!

Wouldn't know, as I have yet to receive the update....

 

[DBeckwith]

It sounds like the brakes kick in. However, I think concern for how brakes handle reduced use is justified.
