Indeed. Yours, brec (OP)

The Hold feature, aka Vehicle Hold, is a feature that keeps the car stopped without brake pressure after the car has been stopped by other means. Its sole purpose is to relieve the driver from having to apply pedal pressure in order to prevent the stopped car from rolling.

I set hold by tapping on the brake pedal when stopped. Until shown otherwise, I'd say that the software doesn't support the feature. If the feature can be actuated by a tap on the brake pedal when stopped, I don't see how the hardware doesn't support it. As I said above, I guess they didn't want...

There is no "Hold" control under Vehicle, which is what prompted my original question.

OK. I guess they didn't want to put a branch in the software to accommodate us with AC induction front motors.

To reiterate, my 85D has "Vehicle Hold" but I must activate it on each stop, if desired, by pressing the brake pedal briefly after stopping. The activated state is indicated by an instrument panel icon. So I reason that the car has whatever hardware, e.g., permanent magnet, is required to...

I was referring to a group of settings, which the Owner's Manual for 2020.20 (not current) referred to as "Stopping Mode" on the (then) "Controls > Driving" settings page. That terminology isn't in the current 2022.44 manual. Regardless, evidently current cars have a "Hold" setting which makes...

I seem to have screwed up my reply; please see it below as post #5.

With 2022.08.10.8 I have only a Creep toggle. Offhand I can't think why an (automatic) Vehicle Hold setting would require any hardware difference, as the car does implement Vehicle Hold with a brake press. Just checking.

Thanks for the assurance that I didn't miss anythiing -- that it's just, for me, a worse UI.

2015 85D. Recently installed the subject update. Before, there were two user-selectable panels on the screen. I typically had the map on top and the rear camera below. Now, there is a third entertainment panel which reduces the space available to the other two. E.g., the map is smaller. I don't...

I drove 79, nine over the limit for the majority of the trip, and 6-7mph over lower limits. As noted previously, I specified 1.14 speed to the programs.

OK, we'll see! Meanwhile, did you set a different buffer for the destination? Is that why arrival SoC is 15% rather than 10%?

For example, for tomorrow's trip from Las Vegas to Reno: No wind, 40F, 1.14 speed, 100% start, buffer 10%: Supercharger (city airport code) starting SoC, ending SoC, time to charge-- evtripplanner BTY 37% to 60% 16 min. TPH 10% to 53% 25 min. HTH 10% to 66% 35 min. A Better Route Planner...

Ya, I do use EV Trip Planner, with occasional excursions to EVtripping.com and ABRP. They seem to have quite a lot of variation in their predictions. Just a while ago I used EVTP, putting in different temps for each of the three legs per the NWS forecast.

OK, that answers my intended question, which was whether the algorithm explicitly uses outside temperature. The three-Supercharger trip I'm making in a couple of days is one I've made several times, but always in the summer. So I will charge to a greater end-of-leg margin than I did previously...

Does the trip estimated mileage or percent charge remaining at destination account for outside temperature? For example, if I am at point A and navigating to point B would my mileage or charge estimated to be remaining at B be the same on a hot summer day as on a cold winter night?

I did a temporary workaround based on this youtube video.

No warranty. :(

Got a new Wi-Fi router, was in car in garage to confirm that it had a good Wi-Fi connection. Got out, closed door, locked it with click on key fob -- it's my habit -- and I heard about seven loud relay-like clicks. I'd never heard the likes from the car. I double-clicked the fob to unlock, and...

Annnnnd... just after the previous post I got a text saying it should be downloaded. Just then my phone notified Software update available. And it's now installed.

Got a text message response indicating verification of my Wi-Fi connection and that "a new firmware" was being sent. Now it seems to be stuck on "Downloading 2020.24.6.11 (100%)".

Here's what I know: My original 12V was replaced after three years. My second 12V was replaced after one year minus one day. The Ohmmu 12V for Model S is warranted for four years. What I think: At $419, Ohmmu is not a slam dunk, but—especially when facing an out-of-warranty replacement of a...

Good idea! I now have a mobile service appt. scheduled 19 days hence. Will update this thread as events, if any, unfold.

Yes, I did.

For several days my car has had the amber download mini-icon at the top of the main screen, which when touched goes to a status page indicating that 2020.24.6.11 is available and to connect to Wi-Fi. But it is and has been connected whenever it's in my garage, which is the majority of the time...

That's it? Ostrichsak says don't buy it, so that's all anyone need know?

The resolution: I remembered that I have the "private" phone extension number of a desk in service at the SCtr in the city I'm in. A couple of calls, one before 9 A.M., were not answered. But on the third try I got someone, and the result is that mobile service is swapping the battery at my home...

Thanks for the replies. After a 25-min. hold, I did talk to someone at the service center in the destination city. He said that if the 12V dies while driving, the center console would go out but the instrument cluster would remain on. Do I recall correctly that the car will not start thereafter?

Here is what I am about to post on Twitter. I thought I'd check in with you guys first to see if I am missing anything.

I.e., 12 gauge, 3 conductor

I found my 5-15 adapter. I also have a 12/3 25 ft. extension cord that I've been carrying in my trunk as a just-in-case. Would the extra 10-15 ft. of length lose noticeable efficiency?

There is not another outlet on the wall; hence this topic.

I'm renting sight-unseen except for photos including of the open garage but not of the garage ceiling outlet. I doubt that I'll be able to check remotely, but if I can, I will.

I was thinking of software updates. But there's a Tesla service center near by, in case something have-to-have comes to my attention.

I'd use an extension cord along the ceiling. Ya, I know 3-4 mph is all I'll get. But 12 hours of that should be enough; my commute is short.

Thanks! I already have a mobile connector. I thought I had a 5-15 adapter, but I now don't know where it is; I see that they're $45. (I have a 5-20 adapter.) It shouldn't be a problem to avoid using the door opener while charging. (Quite separately I just realized it'll be 10 weeks without...

I and my Model S85D will be away from home for the summer for 10 weeks. I've found a short-term rental that is terrific in all respects except that the garage has no power except for the garage door opener. Whether the garage door opener's power comes from an outlet in the ceiling (as does that...

As I understand it, this site requires a code provided by in-car navigation to gain entry. I've not been there, but might want to use it next week. I wonder if this glitch affects obtaining the code?

At this writing my Tesla phone app shows 24/24 available and the white-on-red "pin" symbol has a slashed circle instead of a lightning bolt.

32.12.8

Tesla mobile app just popped up with a software update available notice about two minutes before this reply.

My car may be a patient? Then I will be patient!

It checks for an update just by opening the Settings::Software page? The only action I can take on the page is to set Standard or Advanced releases; I have it on Standard. Anyway, I did the hard reset, with no immediate result.

2015 85D on 2019.28.25 since Aug. 8; garaged nightly with WiFi. Should I be concerned?

Off thread topic... According to the Model S Owner's Manual: In other words, a "time-based distance" depends on speed, whereas a car-length distance doesn't. For example, on freeways where the limit is 65 mph, I generally set TACC for 75 mph and following distance to 1. I would never follow at a...

After using Remote S (now officially "Remote for Tesla") for years, I just today discovered that when no charge cable is inserted it shows the current and total usable charge levels in kWh as one of two alternating messages at the bottom left of the lower car-status display. For my 85D, for trip...

Just checked away from home. Now, when it's not charging and doesn't have a charge cable inserted, I do see the alternating text including the "... of nn.n kWh" that @swegman described.

Hmm. Mine just has a constant -- not alternating -- "Added n.nn kWh n.n mi". Nothing changes except the numbers, and the time remaining above the representation of the car alternates with the firmware version. I took the pic soon after the charge started, so the numbers are zeros, but they do...
