I just updated from .139 to .140. I'll see if I can make a run of my test loop tonight. I didn't see any efficiency gain on .139. Hoping that .140 shows an improvement.
I haven't really seen an improvement with .139 either. I don't have .140 yet. So I'm living vicariously through you, and probably hoping you see an improvement about as much as you do!
I can't say for sure I understand why others aren't seeing an efficiency boost. Do keep in mind that the torque sleep stuff seems to be less effective in stop/go situations. At a constant speed, though, even a low speed, it seems to work wonderfully.
I think it would be worth suggedting that steady speed itself wouldn't be the issue, it would be the ability to stay within a particular power range. Rather like an automatic being able to avoid unlocking the torque converter. So significa t acceleration or maintaining speed on steep hills could wake up the rear motor.
No, I used the same settings as the previous run, which was sport + range mode.
So, the impatient part of me uploaded a 2-minute preview of my latest video.
Hopefully the full thing will be done rendering tomorrow.
(Yes, I censored the park assist disabled message on my dash...)
Range mode on both cars or just the D ? I would love to see the same tests with the D in insane and normal mode.

Fantastic video wk057. However I see in the beginning pretty much what my consumption experience is. The D is WAY worse than the P. It seems only on the highway the torque sleep pays off. I reset the trip meter since 0139 and are now at 402 wh/mile vs 433 before. My P was at 351 all time consumption. So this is still about 15 % more than my old P ! I do want to see a Tesla employee driving my D and get the promised range in the city, it is impossible !

But I am sorely puzzled by those of you who aren't seeing any measurable improvement: I don't doubt your experiences are real, I just don't have an explanation for it, and that bothers me.
I played with torque sleep this morning on my way to drop my daughter off at school.
The best way I can describe the original feel of my D was that it was "on the pipe" or immediately there on the throttle in almost a twitchy fashion. I can now feel the transition from twitchy to mellow or almost lethargic and can see a noticeable drop in power consumption with this transition. I can also delay or even stop this transition by gently modulating the throttle at the end of a normal acceleration to steady state speed. All of this was done at speeds less than 50 mph or what could be considered city. This leads me to believe that throttle actuation has a lot to do with if and how the torque sleep transition is made.
All the above was done in normal mode (not range) and insane acceleration mode. I've not changed any of these modes as all my experience to date have been with this configuration.
I am now very happy with my D's performance both city and highway. I just wish I knew how to get others the exact same experience.
