MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

If still waiting for software update TRY this.
Tesla Tip: How To Get Latest Software Update Immediately | CleanTechnica

Worked for me.

I'm not sure whether this is a placebo or not. When you switch to the Software tab, it already goes into "Checking for updates..." mode. So it could just be a coincidence that it finds the update after a user plays with the switch on the tab.

But I will admit, I tried it this morning and did get the update immediately after pressing and holding the Advanced toggle.

Or you can just turn one of the thumb wheels one click.

Yes I do that once in while. My complaint is that it changed so that it is significantly less useful for me. Now I get the (much more frequent) prompt while my hands are on the wheel. 36.x seems about the same as 32 based on my one short test of AP this morning. I might as well just not use it.

Got my update and I'm torn.

On one hand, I love the one-pedal feature while driving normally. But when parking, backing up, etc., it feels really weird. Maybe I just have to get used to it?

I put down a 3.03 sec 0-60 with 1 foot roll. From stop it was 3.26, measured with Dragy. These times are both 0.10 sec faster than my previous bests. 3P-on 19” at 88% and 57 F.

3.03 sec 0-60 1 foot roll P3- 36.2.1

Just hope we can get some higher speed numbers, too. And 1/4 mile times!

Still looking for some LR AWD times, post update....

Now the big question is.. will Tesla update these numbers on their site? Was their 0-60 in 3.2 sec with 1 foot roll or not?

Yes, but I don’t have a safe place to measure these yet. I may need to head to the track.

Yes Tesla quotes Performance models with 1 foot roll, apparently the other models are from stop. This has caused a lot of fighting on forums

Only one trip to work of approx. 15 miles so far, but the one pedal driving is awesome! Definitely how it should have 'come out of the box', in my opinion. I especially like that the acceleration delivered at a given pedal position seems more linear / less front-loaded, and further rewards fine/subtle changes as you transition into coast or regen. Still getting used to it though, as it is a little different from the previous version of 'one pedal'.

PS- No strangeness and I did have the cone viz. (I always shut it down for several minutes after update/before using too...)

 

[electrictorque]

But, have you notices a solenoid/actuator clicking/energized noise upon coming to a full stop? I have, and it's a new sound for me.

That is also new to me. Sounds like the same sound when we press and hold the park button on the gear stick. I'm out on a limb and say that when the car comes to a full auto stop/hold it applies the parking break.

Ok we need new dyno figures. TeslaFi logged 416 kW power at 44 mph and 417 kW at 51 mph.
559 HP 417 kW power P3- 19” 36.2.1 89%

417 kW translates to 559 hp of motor power! It will be less at the wheel but probably still over 500 hp. The highest I observed before 36.2.1 was 470 hp.
P3- at 89% on 36.2.1

So their new updated 0-60 should be listed as 3 secs? I hope so

Do other car company uses HP at the wheel or total motor power? Like when AMG or Muscle car brags about HP is it wheel or total?

Already 2 different sets posted in the last couple pages of this very thread.

generally crank hp, not wheel

Crank hp?

I prefer roll. Guess I'm in the minority.

Love the idea of one (sic) petal driving but not sure about using go pedal for reversing instead of letting it “creep” back and forward.

Yep. Wish there was a shortcut to “Creep for Parking.” Light years better than Hold mode. For driving driving, I like the new Hold mode.

 

[Knightshade]

Crank hp?

Yeah- power at the crankshaft...essentially the part that converts the up/down of the pistons to rotational force and conveys that force to the transmission

The car maker instead puts it on an engine dyno, which essentially bolts on where the transmission normally would, and that's the number they typically report as horsepower.

Which is why it doesn't include drivetrain loss- since there's no drivetrain attached at the time.
