I'm not expecting a significant power gain with the 90->100 swap. The gains would be from the slightly lower voltage drop under high load vs the 90 pack... but it's not going to be substantial.
I have some ideas on how this can be done with non-performance variants, but yet untested. Should be reasonably easy with minor modifications as long as the drive unit is newer.... there seem to be very few original drive units out there.
Getting a 3 as soon as they actually process my day-one reservations. Guessing since I'm not in California I'm just not a priority at the moment.
As for more range... stay tuned. Hint: The next upgrade is going to be to a P130++ with ~400 miles of rated range.
I'm probably not going to bother any time soon, honestly. I don't think the gains since my last dyno run have been too tremendous.
If there's a Model 3 ready to be salvaged, you can be sure one certain main will savagely buy it and at least explore it in great details!
Should be interesting for sure. Although, details about the pack and such have already leaked.
@llavalle is correct that with air suspension no modification is required.
Unfortunately my S doesn't have air suspension, so, I'm basically just sacrificing a little bit of passenger/cargo weight. It's only roughly a 200 lbs difference in weight, so as a friend would say, only "about one American."
Eventually I plan to retrofit air suspension on to the car.

Actually, current model S owners have priority over non-owners in California (folks like myself). I've seen folks near the east coast already get their configuration invitations on reddit, but I've yet to see mine, despite being a day-1 res-holder. So you have priority as far as I'm concerned.
Nope. Completely unofficial and unrelated.
Regarding M3 potential:
Meant to say, there is likely room for more batteries.
(Given evidence from Jason's teardown of the S early in this epic)

OT:
Thanks for the great reads, and work Jason.
Please share more of the builds?
I don't know why it is so much fun to read,
but your posts and the
way too rare salvage posts
are what really hooked me into being
a regular reader here.
Thanks again.
FFOT: Did Tesla intentionally break USB to prevent hacking to root?
Has anyone published a How To on that?
Thanks
Keep the faith.

Looking forward to this. The 100 pack is so densely packed you’d need a secondary pack. ~30 kWh would need 5 additional 100 pack battery modules or 6 from a 70/85 (better symmetry?). The lower part of the rear trunk seems like a great spot for it but very curious how you’ll deal with cooling and if the additional ~350 lbs matters once you retro air suspension.

Here's a pic of my "front motor" from some testing earlier in the day (has since been cleaned up a bit):
You should hook that up to a blender instead, so the car can make you a smoothie as you enjoy ludicrous speeds.
Did you only replace the fuse and contactors for this?wk057 said:
Also, what is the p/n for the new contactors?

Jason,
In a number of posts, you and others have mentioned the pontential to do some of these modifications on non-performance RWD85’s. I have an July 2013 S85. Without putting a new DU, what can be done to increase performance closer to the P85?
