Max Battery Power Missing - Firmware 2019.8.3

[Litigate28]

It may be a good time for me to try the powertools test finally. I also agree it seems the car is slightly slower, though it could just be a placebo.

Didn't get 5 minutes into my drive and it ate dirt

I’m supposed to be getting my p90dL tomorrow. I’ve told 3 people at the SC not to update the software on the car.

Tesla doesn't seem to be in any hurry to fix this for us. Prob just hoping we'd up grade to a new model S/X instead.

 

[Grumble]

I just bought mine so that's not an option for me

 

[krsgio]

I just bought mine in Nov so also not an option for me.

 

[jerjozwik]

lolz, just got the update available notice a few hours ago.

 

[krsgio]

Just updated to 2019.12.1.1 ... still broken.

I bought a 2016 refresh P90DL last week and made the mistake of updating it last night. 10% less total output 510kw with L+ compared to 550-560kw with max battery. No launch mode. Also, there is no way to see your battery temperature or if it's ready. Also, EE starfeild does nothing. Who knew your car could lose 100hp in a week! 2.6sec 0-60 is impossible.. I'm very disappointed

 

[Grumble]

Very disturbing. I guess my butt dyno was spot on. Felt like around 100hp loss

This is devastating, it’s been broken for a while now. Im wondering if I need to bounce off the Tesla train at this point. I’m not even 5 years in and my $120,000+ model S just got downgraded to a model 3 in performance.

I don’t even want to look at this car, my 1/4 times since 2019 update went from 11.12 to 11.75.

How is this ok? I’ve called Tesla at least 15 times and they never understand what I’m talking about when I call.

Anything we can do as a community or just wait and deal with a 6 figure paid beta test? My love affair with Tesla is over, I fear this will not be fixed ever and that teslas just gonna say F you to anyone who is on HW1.0. This had to be the biggest bait and switch in automotive history and if true makes me feel this company is shady trash.

 

[Litigate28]

Well, take it for what it's worth. SC cancelled my appointment on this issue. Said it's a known issue and engineering is working on it for two weeks now. No ETA on a fix, but when it's available they can push it remotely.

 

[Kurfer]

IF it’s truly a bug I’m cool, if it’s abandoning older models I have problems. Not after 3 years at least....my p90dl is 3 years and 1 month old.

 

[ChiP90D]

I’m now experiencing this issue as well. I updated from 2018.50.6 to 2019.12.1.1 last night. 2016 P90DL with AP1. Very disappointing. I have a service tech looking into it and I’m hoping a fix is released and pushed to our cars quickly.

 

[Grumble]

I created a quick poll to start collecting some metrics/data. Feel free to participate. I figure if we collectively work on this we have a better chance of providing engineering with some quality data so they can address more than just one issue.

Have your say: P85DL & P90DL Issues

 

[Tech_Guy]

it wouldn't be the first time tesla reduced power with a software update....

 

[Grumble]

@Tech_Guy what FW are you on?

 

[Tech_Guy]

2018.36.2..... Ive been avoiding 9.0 as I prefer to have the ability and control to select which 2 apps are displayed. As well as having the icons all easily accessible at eye level along the top of the display while driving.

Primarily I run Tesla Waze in a web browser up top and music or energy or phone along the bottom I almost never use the in car navigation... Thus 9.0 would be a reduction in functionality for me forcing the maps to always be running etc...

 

[Grumble]

That's great. Oh, I need to add an issue to my poll. The browser is unusable. Takes about 30 seconds for each key press to register and is excruciatingly slow

I’m supposed to be getting my p90dL tomorrow. I’ve told 3 people at the SC not to update the software on the car.

Sounds like what I did with my P85D I picked up last week, except it was to not install a front license plate bracket. Car was delivered to a front-tag state SC but I live in a no-front-tag state and I didn’t want holes in the untouched nose cone.

Of course I now know from this thread to avoid firmware updates! Currently on 2018.50.6 and will stay until the max battery/Ludicrous+ bugs are solved.
