Yup this started happening to me also around 5.8 IIRC
Same here, at first I kept wondering how I kept forgetting to close the charge door every morning. I can't say for certain. but around 5.8 sounds about right to me too.

Had this happen a couple times before my 12V died. No idea of it's correlation or causation though.Rather "interesting" and disconcerting experience this morning. I walk up to the car, it unlocks, I get in. Dashboard is on, looking normal (not asleep), main screen is black.
I press the break pedal, nothing happens - dashboard stays on the "off" screen.
Oh that's interesting. I know a few people reported that their 12V was replaced during the 1 year service. I'll ping the service center and ask if they will replace mine...Had this happen a couple times before my 12V died. No idea of it's correlation or causation though.

Yes! Happened to me numerous (yet sporadic times over the winter)!
I called service about it and they had me doubting myself with all the snow around saying it was probably just the car sliding with the weather.
With the fact that it was not repeatable, I've had a hard time thinking there was an issue with the brakes.
The last service, I had tesla change the rotors (as they squeak a LOT) but the brakes still feel really 'squishy' or 'mushy'. Not the kind of braking feeling that id expect with brakes like these.
I wanted to wait until the weather cleared a bit and had my winters taken off before I can truly attribute it to the brakes.
On a side note, when parked, how many presses of the break before you hear the brake vacuum kick in?
And indeed, they replaced my 12V. I also mentioned to them that at my 1500 mile trip to the Bay Area I had suddenly noticed much louder than before driving noise. I thought it might be a sound insulation issue and that maybe I was hearing more of the road noise? I was wrong. They replaced the drive unit(!!).Oh that's interesting.

Thanks for that pointer.
Our cars must be twins I had the same noise start kicking in after the same trip (Portland->Sonoma) last summer and had the drive unit replaced not too long after.And indeed, they replaced my 12V.

As always, amazing service. I don't have Ranger service, but the SC is out of loaner cars (intense selling going on the last couple of weeks) and so they picked up the car and dropped it off again - for free.
That's pretty funny.Our cars must be twins I had the same noise start kicking in after the same trip (Portland->Sonoma) last summer and had the drive unit replaced not too long after.
I can't remember BMW ever offering to me to replace the engine for free... just because of a noise.
A quick shout-out to the Tesla folks keeping up with the forum :wink:...
...
In any case, if they discover anything regarding the brakes, I'll pass it on here.

Hmm, on my 1700-mile SF Bay Area trip last month, I noticed the car noise was much louder and at times borderline obnoxious. Happens on long stretches of I-5, out in the boonies of Central CA, where the speed limit is 70 and everyone whooshes by at 80-90+. I had it in cruise control between 72-74, and right around there the motor hum gets not only loud, but develops parallel hums that sort of throb and reverberate and resonate, and the throbbing especially starts getting to you after 10, 20, 30 solid minutes of it.
Is this the kind of thing that people are getting their drive units replaced for?
I've had USB-device-induced touchscreen wonkiness as well... my Android phone will do it...
The day after I posted this my local SC left me a message saying they wanted to talk to me about my USB/screen issue. A little stalkery(?) But in a good way. They told me to just use the 12v other and it would charge faster anyway. It's only the second time I've plugged my phone in in my car in nearly a year, so not a big deal. I have a Samsung Note 2.I wish I had read this topic before. My car has been into Tesla 3x for the touchscreen crashing. I ended up finding it out on my own. It seems to be limited to android phones for me, and only in the USB ports. Confirmed with a Android Samsung Note 3, but my work iPhone does not do it. It also will not crash if using a car adapter to usb in the car plug.
It appears to be when the android phone tries to connect as an installer, it either blocks it, or causes a reset. It will then repeatedly, and quickly, attempt to make the connection which will eventually cause the dash to crash. If I catch it quick enough and turn it to media / camera it does not cause the crash.
I am wondering if it isn't some sort of bug or protection in the Linux side of the dash when exposed to certain filesystems / content. I might try to repeatedly plug in a usb key with a couple different filesystems on it and see if it will cause the crash.
