TESLA MOTORS -‐ SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTIFICATION Energy App The Energy app on the touchscreen has been updated to visually highlight the connection between projected range and energy consumption by showing projected range directly on the energy chart. By default, it displays the “Instant” projected range, which reflects consumption over the last tenth of a mile. You can also adjust the chart to see projected range based on average energy consumption over the previously traveled distance shown across the chart—either 5, 15, or 30 miles. When the car turns off, the projected range display will reset to the “Instant” value. This enhanced Energy app replaces the Range "bar" (which showed projected vs. rated range) on the instrument panel and on the touchscreen's Controls window. Also, projected range is no longer a choice for the instrument panel's center dial. Rather, you can now choose between Rated and "Ideal" range, which is based on driving a steady 55 mph on a flat road. NEW CONTROLS / SETTINGS Auto-Presenting Door Handles Door handles now present automatically as you walk up to the driver’s door with the key.
