That goes for me too if there's a way to restore gateway access through a websocket proxy. At least all in car services are still working with the exception of supercharger status.

To be honest, I see Tesla's loss of access to your car as the best feature of 8.1 now. They can't down grade you the next time they want to! I'm still waiting for Tesla to alter the deal again like Darth Vader and take more whenever they feel like it. You're safe!
... until Tesla moves #chargegate from the vehicle's software to the supercharger/server level. If that's even possible. Tesla seems poised to make some battery announcements in the next few months. Anyone thinking of buying another might want to wait.
Slightly OT, but looks like NHTSA is investigating Tesla over touch screen failures. Hopefully #batterygate isn't far behind.
Safety regulators probe Tesla over touch-screen failures
Safety regulators probe Tesla over touch-screen failures
Touch screen failure removes the ability to control lighting and that is a safety failure the NHTSA has understood forever. They are taking their time with batterygate like they did over dieselgate because they have to forge new precedent as they go so future prosecutions can follow more easily (if any company is crazy enough to try it again).

I still don't understand why the lights weren't given a physical switch to override the AUTO function.
The hazard flashers have a physical button. They were important enough to have a hardware button but the headlights weren't?
The regulations require a physical button for the hazard lights but not for the headlights.
Do you know if other params are same, eg. battery temp? assuming not
Variation between 15%-35% SOC is quite wide
Also, wondering why some stop at 90-95%, users stopped charging, or car couldn't charge further

I suspect many begin to feel the weight of time and their advancing years, questioning whether 'tis worse to sit and be sure or to press onward and hope.

You mean within the original four-year warranty period?The MCU is not SUPPOSED to fail.

The NHTSA request mentioned in that article gave Tesla until November 28th, 2019 to respond. Either they did not and the NHTSA has not pursued further or they did and their response is confidential. I wonder if anyone has done a FOIA to the NHTSA to check on the status or get Tesla's response?
Rehash of BI piece on petition to investigate. BI has paywall so I have read their version but Lopez is the author.
Petition has not been granted or denied.

Timing of BI article is as usual suspicious. The news is old. NHTSA’s time-to-closure closure on these petitions is terrible.
Actually the BI article isn't related to the NHTSA defect petition. It was about problems Tesla had in 2012 with leaks in the battery cooling system. (That could possibly cause a fire in the right circumstances.) It is unknown how many, if any, packs leaked that were sold or when, if ever
, Tesla solved the issue.In other words a big nothing as far as actual information goes. (Yep, Tesla has issues with their original Model S pack design, that doesn't seem like a surprise to me.)
Charged to 90% in my 85D last week, and noticed that the range shown in the instrument cluster matches the 213 mile figure while Teslamate reports a more real world range of 201 miles at 90%.
Still rubbish compared to the 234 miles @90% I used to get before battery gate last year... !

Not suprising that main stream media has not / will not pick up any of these stories, as far as they have their heads up Teslas bums
