This may be occurring in the P85, but it does NOT happen in my S85. In the warmer weather, I don't get any bump, but in the colder weather and a cold battery it always happened.
I've seen it in my 60 so it's not a P85 thing.

seems like the tweet has been deleted...
When I spoke to the manager he basically admitted it was an ongoing problem with the valet company.

Mea Culpa.
I have had my energy window in either the 15 or 30 miles view.
I checked it out in the 5 mile view today and saw that there was a spike to 900+ (very briefly).
From a tweet about a half hour ago. Go forth and discuss how exactly we think it's going to work!

@BeauAthia yep. Should have valet mode uploaded at some point in coming months.

My usage would be to set the maximum speed to 35 for Valet
Why would a valet ever need to drive more than 5 mph?
In some cases, the parking areas where valets park cars aren't entirely close to the location where the valet is working.
I'm really surprised this feature is not already available. it make so much sense for a car this powerful and different.Let's come up with a list of features that we'd like included. Suggestions:
Exactly what I was thinking. In Europe, some valets park blocks away. I did entertain the thought of the valet limping along at a 15 mph limit thoughIn some cases, the parking areas where valets park cars aren't entirely close to the location where the valet is working.
I am not a big fan of using valets, but Tesla needs needs a 'Valet Mode.'
Let's come up with a list of features that we'd like included. Suggestions:
1. A prominent message on the 17" screen that warns the valet that the MS is constantly monitored, but also provides instructions on operating the car (shift, park, lock, etc).
2. Disable non-essential functions (radio, Internet searches, pano roof closed, windows closed, etc).
3. Enable a "governor" that severely limits acceleration and top speed.
4. Enable a function that will text the owner if the vehicle travels more than 1/10 mile.
5. When "in" valet mode, have the nav system map the route of the MS and keep the route displayed on the screen until valet mode is turned off by the owner.
6. Give the valet a way to contact you in the event that there is a problem with the MS.
We might want tabs on a valet mode screen for the 1) warning, 2) operating instructions and 3) the route traveled by the valet with notation of the top speed and acceleration rate. When the MS is in Drive, the route and top speed should appear on he screen.
