Bugeater On my 5540 mile trip in May / June I very often found that my cell phone had 2-3 bars or more while my S had 1 or none. I would really like to be on Verizon too, and 4G if possible!�
Nov 11, 2013
DriverOne Anyone else seeing the car not noticing dawn? As the day grows brighter, my headlights remain on, and the screens remain in night mode. Both are set to "Auto" mode.
This seems to have started happening since 5.6. I've rebooted both displays, will see what happens tomorrow.�
Nov 11, 2013
ZBB Um... that's by design. 4.5 worked the same way (and I've seen the screens in day mode with the lights on...) I know that in AZ, headlights are required for 30 minutes after sunrise, and 30 minutes before sunset. I suspect other states also have that law (or something similar), so the headlights stay on long enough to comply...�

Kermit How far is "further away"?�
Nov 11, 2013
Lloyd Why cant you set up your phone as a hot spot, and tether to the car via wifi? Then you will have Verizon/4G coverage.�
Nov 11, 2013
Bugeater That's $30 per month more than I already pay for my phone. Don't understand why it is so much. I currently still have unlimited data...�
Nov 11, 2013
Bugeater And of course, I didn't have 5.6 yet, so no S WiFi.�
Nov 11, 2013
Pollux @NigelM - thanks, I'll try the reboot tomorrow.
�
Nov 11, 2013
Mayhemm I always thought the WiFi hotspot function was a feature of the phone, not the carrier network. It seems strange that you would be charged extra just for enabling your phone's hotspot function, especially if you already have unlimited data! For that matter, how would they even know you turned it on?�
Nov 11, 2013
Pollux @Denarius, I used to press on the "P85+" in the "About window" and hold down for a while to make the car drive off and reveal the picture of the Tesla staff. Now, I press down on the "P85" and it does the same thing. Although does my memory deceive me... is the 5.6 picture a bit different from the 4.5 picture I used to have?
Anyway: definitely "P85+".

Hi, @andrewket,
You're certainly making me question my memory but... mine said P85+.
If I'm hallucinating, then I'm gonna owe you & @Denarius a beer or three.
And @AlMc.

FlasherZ They look at stuff like the User-Agent: passed through by web browsers to web destinations, to see if it contains full-blown computer OS's versus the phone & mobile operating systems. Then they do one of two things -- either they give you a warning e-mail and throttle your data, or they tell you they're switching your data plan to one that permits tethering because you've done it anyway.
There is a lot of information out there - just Google it. Verizon lost a court case on charging for tethering, based on their acquisition of spectrum that came with open-access conditions. The rest of the carriers have somewhat conformed toward the judgment, in fear that they would be subject to the same if they were to be sued; however, if you have unlimited data, many of the carriers have not capitulated yet.�
Nov 11, 2013
Mayhemm Wow. Must be an American thing. Our carriers will throttle your data for excessive usage (>10GB per month) but they don't care how you use it up until that point. At least, not yet.�
Nov 11, 2013
Bugeater And don't forget my other point. My S doesn't yet have 5.0 let alone 5.6. So there is no WiFi available yet. So no matter how much I try I still can't use any WiFi for my car.�
Nov 11, 2013
wcalvin Got 5.6 early
So the new Seattle SvcCtr at the I-5 and I-90 junction phoned back, hearing that I needed 5.6 early but no other service. "Just come on in now. It'll take up to two hours. We can loan you a car but all of our Model S loaners are out." I elected to hang around and sip green tea from their espresso machine. They were finished in an hour but "Would you also like us to wash it?" Sure. Then up rolls the transporter truck with seven new Model S's and I watch them unload the beauties and drive them into a huge room (twice the service area next door) devoted to new car delivery.
No charge, of course. You may spend a lot up front on a Tesla but it sure does buy you a lot.�

AlMc Nigel......You just can't get any TM love! :wink:�
Nov 12, 2013
FlasherZ This is one thing they've tweaked in the 5.6 release. It seems to take a bit longer for the car to make the change so that it doesn't do the flip-flop switching in the morning that it used to do. I've found that it sometimes takes a mile or so before it switches to day mode (I always start in the garage, so it's always night time to the car when I start out).�

Charging overnight on 5.6
169 rated and 196 ideal�
Nov 12, 2013
Doug_G Of course it's unlikely you've really "lost" anything. The console range display is just an estimate. Your range is how far you can actually drive it.�

Nov 12, 2013
viet658 I've been on 5.6 for almost two weeks now and haven't noticed any decrease on vampire draw. My vampire losses are about 3 miles over eight hours or about 9-10 miles a day�

Zythryn Check to see if sleep is enabled. Our 60 recently sat for 2 full days in a 40 degree garage and lost 5 miles.�

santana338 I just noticed this morning that with my 5.6 update I am not able to put the energy display on the right side of the speedo anymore. Is it just me or has that option been removed in 5.6? I don't remember how I got it the energy display there in the first place. I did a little searching on the site and didn't find this discussed, so please point me to a thread if I missed it...�
Nov 12, 2013
viet658 Sleep is enabled from the settings screen and I can tell sleep is active because it takes longer for my car to wake up.�
Nov 12, 2013
FlasherZ 5.x changed some of the calculations behind the displayed range, based on the observed battery conditions across the fleet. You're likely seeing that.�
Nov 12, 2013
giants2001 That's what I figured. I had the same thing happen in the last update. My concern is that with each update I am showing significantly less range. I assume the range calculations are getting better, so it appears that my battery can't hold the same charge as compared to other 60s.�
Nov 12, 2013
FlasherZ It may very well be a combination of the revised charge figures with a problem in your battery pack. You may want to call the service center and ask them to take a look remotely, if they can.�
Nov 12, 2013
Todd Burch Wait a minute--you're saying that the car now reads text messages that you've received on your phone while driving? If so, nice!�
Nov 12, 2013
dflye Even better, for those drivers like me that don't pay much attention to the visual warning cues, if severe battery trauma is detected and reported back to the mother ship, they could text you a message like "You car has experienced severe trauma to the battery pack and is about to catch on fire. Please stop the vehicle and exit with extreme haste before the ambulance chasing lawyers arrive."�
Nov 12, 2013
CantaMia Ron Just got 5.6 last week and did not notice a slow start up on the display with energy save on.�
Nov 12, 2013
SFOTurtle Have you done a full, 100% charge since the 5.6 update and if so, what are the rated miles just after the car stops charging at 100% SOC? We know that the calculations for % SOC changed downward from 4.4 to 4.5, and most (but not all) people are reporting decreased rated miles for the same % SOC setting, but that does not tell you what the rated miles are at 100%.
I just received the 5.6 update from the service center (stopped by on my way home) and yesterday I did a 90% SOC to 171. That is about 4-5 miles less than under 4.5 a couple weeks ago, which in turn is several miles less than it was under 4.5 several months ago.
And to add to the data mix, last night at 6 p.m. the car had 158 rated miles before it went to sleep, and this morning at 7 a.m. it was 156 rated miles. I hadn't been tracking my rated miles loss overnight prior to the 5.6 update, but it's probably an improvement of at least 1 or 2 rated miles over the evening as temps have come down into the 40s here and in the garage it probably in the mid to high 50s by the morning. Am going to start tracking daytime losses when my car sits in my work parking lot for about 8 to 10 hours per day.

SFOTurtle Ok, got it. Well, that's a little better. Thanks for the correction. I assume/hope the car also does not flash out the text msg somewhere on the touchscreen. Still, how long until we have our first MS accident where the driver was distracted when the car started sua sponte reading text messages to them when they were approaching an intersection and then ran a red light?�

4SUPER9 As an added benefit to 5.6, Siri now speaks to me and listens through the car. I don't know if this was the case with 4.5. On 5.0, Siri would only work on the phone itself.�
Nov 12, 2013
Denarius I haven't tried Siri since 4.5, but I was able to talk to Siri via Bluetooth audio. I had to activate it from the iPhone by holding down the home button. Has any of that changed? I'll try on my way home from work this evening.�
Nov 12, 2013
gmontem Figured I give Tesla Service Center Fremont another call requesting to push the 5.6 update to my car today, and this time the person who talked me told me they don't do those requests, nor do they allow owners to go to the service centers to get their update pushed, and that everything said at Tesla Motors Club are rumors and unreliable (not his words, but that's the message I got from him). He even went ahead and told me that the representative I spoke to yesterday who informed me they push updates by VIN and by installed version, e.g., 5.0 gets dibs, was wrong. So either all of you guys are lying and still using 4.5 or this guy is also sadly misinformed.�
Nov 12, 2013
Zythryn Officially, Tesla can't do that and service personnel shouldn't make that offer. Otherwise the service centers will be inundated with people stopping by to get an update.
As for the forum, this is not an official, or even unofficial Tesla Motors source. It is a group of enthusiasts, nothing more. Everything said here is second hand information and is exactly what that employee said, rumors.
Now, sometimes rumors are correct, sometimes they are not...�
Nov 12, 2013
Gear Do you have a Windows Phone by any chance? I thought for the longest time that my BMW was reading my texts aloud for me, giving me the option to either read or ignore them, but when I got my Tesla, it was still reading them and with the same voice. It turns out it was a feature of my Windows Phone when using bluetooth audio.�
Nov 12, 2013
4SUPER9 That's exactly correct. On 5.0 (at least for me), I could not use bluetooth audio for Siri.�
Nov 12, 2013
ZBB Quick update... I checked the car around noon on Monday, and it still showed 141 rated miles. Checked again at 6:30am, and it was at 139. Sleep does appear to be working now -- but I'll continue to monitor...�
Nov 12, 2013
rlang59 Since I got 5.6 I am now losing around 15 miles while parked at work for 10 hours which is about double what it was before. In addition to that when the car does wake up Bluetooth, WiFi, and voice commands don't work. Usually takes a reboot to clear that up but today it took 10 reboots (I kept trying on my drive home since I needed the Bluetooth). Something just doesn't seem to be waking up correctly from sleep so I'm just going to turn it off for now, isn't doing any good anyway. Feels like this code release has some kind of corner case that they did not test out and there are still some bugs.�
Nov 12, 2013
joefee Your service center should be able to install the latest FW on request if you can not/did not get it OTA. I do this every time since my car parks under ground.�
Nov 12, 2013
steve841 I'd stop by the SC and have them look at it.. If none are close by, call ownership and let them check it remotely.�
Nov 12, 2013
santana338 Thanks Denarius. All is good again�
Nov 12, 2013
rlang59 I'll deal with it when I get a chance. Fact of the matter is that having to go to the service center for them to fix a remote update completely defeats the purpose of a remote update. Tesla needs to do a better job at testing these things before they push them out. Given that I am not the only one having issues with this software by the looks of this thread something was missed in the testing phase.
Edit:
I have emailed ownership to let them know of the issues I have been seeing.�
Nov 12, 2013
Btrflyl8e Good idea, the other good thing about remote update is that they may be able to diagnose and fix the issue remotely, too. I hope that's the case!�
Nov 12, 2013
rlang59 I trust that they will fix it. Hopefully they can pull logs from my car that will help them pin down the problem so they can push out an update before anyone else has similar problems. For me I can live with it for now if turning off the "Energy Saving" mode keeps everything else working. I'm more irritated by the fact that this mode to stop vampire drain breaks other stuff and to top it off doesn't even work!�
Nov 12, 2013
apacheguy Well, to be fair, Tesla beta tested this release for several months. In fact, I would have argued for less testing and rolling it out sooner. Just because 1 car out of a 1000 is going to have a problem should not bar them from rolling it out. Even after hearing of your problems I still absolutely want 5.6 whether it contains bugs or not. Obviously I think Tesla needs to look at your case and figure out what's going on. But I disagree with your assessment that more beta testing is needed.�
Nov 12, 2013
SFOTurtle Sorry you've been having some issues with 5.6. Things happen in software updates. It doesn't mean Tesla did a bad job of testing this. If you read from the beginning of this thread, you'll read literally hundreds of posts complaining that Tesla was taking too long in rolling this out and many people were willing to get the update ASAP, bugs and all. If perfection is the standard before rolling it out, we wouldn't see the next update for a few years, if ever.�
Nov 12, 2013
rlang59 I disagree with you on this, I think that some regression testing was skipped to push the update out to appease the very people you are talking about. I'm an engineer and I see this happen all the time, management gives you the deadline and some things get missed during testing. The unfortunate side effect that we have with the world of update-able firmware is the "Push it out now we'll fix it later" mentality that has come with it.
And I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for functionality, which in this case is not what I got.

Earthdog WiFi Connectivity
So I have setup my MS with 5.6 to connect to my office WFi and home WiFi. However they don't auto connect in range. Is there a setting for auto connect? Thoughts am I assuming this basic functionality?�
Nov 12, 2013
AlMc I agree with this sentiment completely. The 5.0 was tested and retested. Almost everyone wanted it sooner than later. Now that it is out there will be some people/vehicles that experience less than perfect results...but those problems can be corrected. It is time everyone has the 5.X series.�
Nov 12, 2013
SFOTurtle People have been pushing Tesla for much of this functionality for close to a year now. If there was a deadline, it was months and months ago. And Tesla went through beta testing for a couple of months. If Tesla had wanted to rush something out, they could have done that back in January or February when people were complaining about the lack of sleep mode. That a few folks like you are having issues does not show that Tesla "rushed" this out. Thousands of others are now enjoying this new release with little or no problems -- and certainly not the problems you're encountering. But because your car is having issues, you draw the conclusion that the entire release was faulty and is non-functional. It may not be functional for you -- yet -- but for thousands of others, it is. So again, perfection (100% of users are happy and bug-free) cannot be the standard.�
Nov 12, 2013
apacheguy I don't and I'm very glad that I don't. Having said that I stand by my opinion 100%. You're welcome to disagree with me.
It's just that I have been waiting for over a year for sleep mode, which was promised to me to arrive within a few months of taking delivery. Needless to say, I am very eagerly awaiting 5.6 and don't want TM to delay the rollout any further just because a few select owners are having issues with their car sleeping.�
Nov 12, 2013
SFOTurtle Your message reads like a carbon copy of mine, and I think after following this thread and other earlier firmware threads, hundreds and hundreds of folks would repeat our view. Nothing was rushed out. That does not mean it was perfect, just means that there is no evidence that more testing would have identified whatever issues a few cars are now having.�
Nov 12, 2013
cinergi All I'll say is don't underestimate the amount of testing that goes on. At least give them the benefit of the doubt if you don't believe me. These are very smart and motivated people.�

efusco I thought maybe it was my imagination, but the couple of times I've used the voice command since 5.6 it has worked nicely.

Nov 13, 2013
DriverOne I'm in much the same boat. Rated range is now sub-200 rather than the advertised 208? This really changes the value prop of the 60. I wonder what a new 60 shows on 5.6. One would hope it would match the advertised 208, but perhaps with 5.6's enhanced forecast accuracy, the distance is somewhat shorter than advertised. Nuts. I configured a car with battery range starting at 208... is that distance a flawed estimate? An incorrectly high number?�
Nov 13, 2013
bosgig I was still on 4.5 and hadn't gotten my notification yet, but I got the upgrade to 5.6 yesterday during a separately scheduled visit to the SC. They did it without my asking (I didn't want to be a nuisance) which was nice of them. Lost one mile in 8 hours overnight, so sleep mode is clearly working, and I was pleasantly surprised by just how short the start up time was coming out of sleep this morning. No negatives to report so far.�
Nov 13, 2013
mknox I'm still on 4.5 but mentioned poor voice recognition at my last service visit. The work order says they replaced "both" microphones. It is still the original-looking grill over the mirror and not the new style with the microphones clearly visible, but it seems much better nonetheless.�
Nov 13, 2013
evsinav My 4 month-old S85 was updated to 5.6 yesterday at the SC at ~5500 miles (first tire rotation). The overnight test of sleep mode surprised me: 0 miles lost in 13.5 hours!
Some conditions I was aware of: The SC had left remote access OFF and I had connected the car to home WiFi upon my arrival. Temps were probably optimum in the garage overnight.
I'm also pleased at at the map update since my first road trip (to Napa from Orange County) starts Friday...:smile:�

Nov 14, 2013
tomas While it is interesting to hear what an individual service advisor may say, it is important to understand that cannot be taken as gospel. I personally think Tesla is doing great job of hiring/training service personnel, but we all have to realize that most of them are less than 6 months on the job, and drinking from a fire hose, with lots of type A, opinionated, and tech savvy customers, and I would guess an internal rumor mill that rivals the real info channels.
What Tesla has officially said is that this rollout will be accomplished during Nov. Continued frequent reports of OTA downloads seems to indicate that is still on happening. Typically when a release is stopped or slowed, the reports of updates stop in a hurry.
BTW, Most people with a BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, Porsche don't even ask at annual service for the newest software release (even though there always is one)� much less beg for a push.

Hmmm� I've had 5.6 for a week now, and believe this talk of the Model S reading your text messages as a function of 5.6 is a misrepresentation. It is not a function of the car as much as a function of your cell phone - activated over the car's voice control via bluetooth. I have iPhone which has Siri, and I can ask it to read my text messages� or skip, or respond� Have done that with both 4.5 and 5.6 release of Model S software. I believe that Windows and Android phones also have similar capability.�

ModelS8794 Can you use a function on the car to activate Siri? Does holding down the voice button on the steering wheel do it?�

apacheguy How is this different than the 3 week timeframe given by Monto? Actually, word on the street (at least what I heard from multiple TMCERS) was that the rollout was supposed to be done by the end of this week.
Still no update here, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until Saturday.
edit: Correct me if I'm wrong, but looking back through this thread we only have 1 (?) OTA report occurring earlier this week. All others have gotten their upgrade at a SC. Has the pace of the rollout been slowed?�

NigelM Driving a loaner right now as the service center has my car for a couple of days. Yesterday I set up the dash configuration as I like it with trip meter on the left and energy graph on the right; this morning the car had the energy graph on the left and blank screen on the right.
Also noted that I left the the radio on a French TuneIn station last night and this morning it was on a something else random while the UI was on the the browse function.
Bugs?�

tomas I have not found the magic words to do that. I still have to press button on paired iPhone to bring up Siri, and then I can listen to messages, reply, etc. via the car's audio system.
Anyone found the abracadabra to do this without button?

Dude, I'm so sorry, I was the last guy with that loaner. I kept a key and snuck in last night and went for joyride. Hate that french station, so I switched it. Wait till you see what else I changed� at least 4 other things. :biggrin:�

4SUPER9 Sleep mode seems to be hit and miss with 5.6.
I've had 5.0 for over 2 months, and every morning, the car would take between 15-30 sec to wake up. Now I'm on 5.6 with sleep mode activated. This morning, after an 12 hour nap, the car was fully awake the second I opened the door. Two hours later, same thing. I didn't check range last night, so I have no comparisons. All I can say is that this car was either never went to sleep, or it woke up on it's own somehow.�

Benjamin Brooks I went from 4.5 to 5.6, and for over a week on 5.6 I've never seen the car sleep. Have tried rebooting the 17", turning off remote access, moving the key fobs as far away as possible in the house... nothing works. In fact, it seems my vampire loss has actually gotten worse (averaging 8 miles loss in 12 hours parked overnight!!)�

GDH I picked up my car yesterday with 5.6 and over night I lost 7 miles. My car does not seem to go into sleep mode either. My handles also do not present when I walk up to the car. I am more concern about the vampire drain though. It was around 45 degrees last night so maybe that has something to do with it?�

brianman "If something bad happens, it's either Microsoft's fault or Bush's fault."
I think we're seeing a new corollary develop:
"If something good happens, it can't possibly be to Microsoft's or Bush's credit."�

AlMc Anyone losing this type of miles to vampire drain needs to contact a service center or 'owner experience' to troubleshoot the problem. My garage temp last night was about 45 degrees. My charge was 219 at 8pm and 219 at 7am this AM. My experience with 5.6 vampire loss is max of 3 miles in 24 hours when sitting.
Things that may help.
1. Key fobs 20+ feet away from the vehicle (mine is 10 feet but separated by a metal door). Close phone app/ipad app, etc.
2. Reboot the 17" screen�

GDH Called the SC and Tesla both said that 6 to 8 miles loss a night when the car is parked out doors in the colder weather is normal soo......�
Nov 14, 2013
SFOTurtle So I'm guessing they would tell me that 2-4 rated miles lost overnight when parked in a garage with 50-60 temps is normal too.�
Nov 14, 2013
GDH Probably, call them and find out!�
Nov 14, 2013
AlMc Sorry. I am surprised. I realize that garage kept probably does help save some of the drain but you are losing 2-3x my expected loss. At work my car is outside, but only for 4-7 hours depending on my work day. It was cold/windy today..about 45 degrees. Lost 1 miles in 5 hours. Just to see I will leave the car out overnight when the temp is predicited to be 40 degrees or less.�
Nov 14, 2013
GDH Yeah I thought it was odd too, if it continues I will have the SC look at it next week.�

Mjsais That concerns me. Although I have yet to receive ver 5.6, the rated range calculation should be a constant that only takes in consideration what the EPA rates as the expected watts used per mile in an average temp day at average driving speeds. By maintaining this computation constant, we are now in a better position to track our driving range performance relative to EPA (over a variety of driving environments) and also track battery degradation. If this computation is temperature based and or changing with each release, how are we going to track battery performance through time? If people are other measurements of range, maybe we could request tesla to allow for a user programable choice. In my case, I would use something like Exp Range = available battery capacity (watts)/350 watts per mile.�

Benjamin Brooks You turned the setting on, correct? I believe it was off at delivery for me...�
