Our Roadster is ready for pick up… So, we’ll be getting it back later today. <\/p>\n
So, I don’t know if it’s normal or not, but I was hoping that Tesla would send an update to the P85+ loaner from firmware 4.5 to the latest, but it did not get it during its five days with us.<\/p>\n
Aside from the lack of a hook for a jacket or dry cleaning…<\/p>\n
So, a few more nits and revisit a nit and positive… Let’s start with combining these two from the three day post<\/a>:<\/p>\n “4) This might be because it’s a loaner, but I can’t sync my contacts nor recent calls on the car. It is ALWAYS refreshing. I just disabled it. As a result, I have to dial by number or launch the call from my phone. Once again, the car IS a loaner.”<\/p>\n So, these two might be related… But inconsistent. The lack of sync might be a “privacy issue” and ensures that folks with loaners don’t leave their contacts on the car…<\/p>\n However:<\/p>\n “3) Automatically remembers places that one has charged (and what level charger to set up for.)”<\/p>\n This is not consistent because my home (and presumably other homes) are cached in the car.<\/p>\n Lastly, I am unimpressed with how well the guesstimator for the Model S functions. I like to drive in rated range rather than ideal range. This is just too much car to drive at 55 mph.<\/p>\n As a result I compare my rated range with my actual consumption. I find that the Tesla is still too optimistic with my expected range. Now, the effect is minimal considering how big the battery is, however, the Active E is more precise. For example after a few days back from service and consistent duty, the Active E will predict a certain range and when I consume the mileage, the range left over is consistent. Whereas the Model S would be lower than the consumed miles.<\/p>\n I would expect Tesla to have better prediction algorithms than BMW, but it does not seem that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our Roadster is ready for pick up… So, we’ll be getting it back later today.
