    Firmware 7.0

    Does anyone know what the following statement (from the 7.0 Release notes, in the TACC improvements section) means: "Model S will approach stationary vehicles more smoothly ...." Does this imply that it can recognize stationary vehicles now? Maybe even stop behind one? Has anyone with 7.0...

    Firmware 6.2

    I got this a couple of days ago (which was few days after I had installed 6.2), but it went away after 2 secs. I ignored it, but based on what you heard I guess I'll probably need this patch too.

    Firmware 6.2

    I had the same thing happen to me this morning, as another car passed me on the left, although I had my right turn signal on. It wasn't too close, as far as I could remember - and certainly wasn't close enough for me to notice. Sounds like it may be a little too sensitive. What I'd like is the...

    Firmware 6.2

    Got the notification today morning, and installed while I was at work. Few things I noticed: - Start-up from energy-saving mode is much faster. This really makes energy-saving more usable in practice. - I didn't get annoying forward-collision warnings (which I used to get) when other cars...

    Firmware 6.2

    Here's a link to the full release notes, quoting from an Elon tweet: Tesla Model S Software 6.2 To Roll Out OTA This Weekend

    Firmware 6.1

    Yes, I can confirm this. Off now means only-at-night. Got .115 this morning (after getting .113 about a week back). Didn't notice any other difference (just based on a quick glance at the release notes, and controls/settings menus).

    Firmware 6.1 - For Classic Model S

    Where does VisibleTesla show this (ie, a notification about new firmware that's ready to install and its version) ? I havent seen any screenshot of this in VisibleTesla's documentation. I have an android phone (the app doesn't notify on android), so this would be useful for me.

    Adaptive Cruise Control (experience post FW v6.1)

    Great video, thanks. TACC seems awesome. I especially liked how it slowed down when another car merged into the lane in front of you. Looking forward to getting the update.

    Do you park your Tesla in a garage?

    Have garage, but choose to park it in driveway since that's more convenient.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Got my S60 on 12/19. Great car, enjoying it so far. Very good experience with Tesla in general, but poor experience with DS (difficult to contact, difficult to get a timely response even by email). Here are some of my observations; most of these are probably well known, but FWIW: I really like...

    Rain-sensing wipers driving me nuts!

    Have recent experiences with the wipers been better (eg: with recent firmware updates)? How about for new owners? My car will be ready in a week or two, and it's raining here in the SF bay area.

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    Here's a quote from design studio: "Convenience features include everyday driving maneuvers that reduce driver workload, such as traffic aware cruise control and automatic parking." So, if you dont have tech package, it sounds like you'll just get regular cruise control.

    Schedule for Autopilot features

    Regd the schedule, I just noticed that the WSJ report (Tesla Aims to Leapfrog Rivals - WSJ) had some info. Quoting "people familiar with the company’s plans", it says: - "driver assistance features such as a cruise-control system ... are expected to be released this year" - "More advanced...

    Autopilot requires Tech Package or not?

    The order page (design studio) now clarifies this issue: "Safety features, today and in the future, are included in every Model S with Autopilot hardware. Convenience features will be included in the Tech Package. It will take several months for all the features to be completed and uploaded...

    Schedule for Autopilot features

    Well put. I also see "several months" as being less than a year. While I understand that they're not making a firm commitment, I think it'll do Tesla's credibility a lot of good if they can get most of the promised features done (ie, enabled in customers' cars via s/w updates) by Q2/Q3 2015.

    Schedule for Autopilot features

    Can we put together the best we know about the expected availability of various autopilot features? Anything you've heard from any reliable source (press, tesla employee, etc) would be useful. Just to start off: Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning: Already available (at least some new...

    Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning

    techiesjc, Great pics, thanks! If you could post your experience with any of these features (whenever they're enabled for you), that would be great!

    Income Cap for Vehicle Rebate (SB 1275)?

    Thanks. Here's the relevant text (from section 44258.4(c)(3)): "No later than June 30, 2015, adopt revisions to the criteria and other requirements for the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, established pursuant to Section 44274, to ensure the following: (A) Rebate levels can be phased down in...

    Income Cap for Vehicle Rebate (SB 1275)?

    Looks like the CA legislature has passed a bill that "establishes an income cap for rebates" under the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project: California Lawmakers Vote ‘Yes’ for One Million Electric Vehicles - The Greenlining Institute Does anyone have info on specifics? What the income cap is, or...
