I notice that all the 2018 new inventory X75D show the 0-60mph of 6s. I distinctly remember it being 4.9 seconds when I purchased mine earlier last year. Did they slow all X75D's down or are these newer inventory ones different somehow? I hope they didn't slow down all 75D's through a firmware update. Mine doesn't feel any different than it did when I originally bought it...

0-60mph changed on the 75D?

Yeah it was 4.9 on my late 2018mine does feel slow but I’ve only just got it back after driving a P90D so I just need to get use to it I guess

good to hear Im not going crazy -- I thought it used to be 4.9 on the 75d too.
Wonder if it's just marketing to sell 100d's or that they actually slowed it down

I just had a 24 hour demo in a 2018 X 75D. 0-60 felt about as fast as a 3 LR (high 4s).
I’ve got an inventory 75D on reserved, so I’m really hoping the 0-60 doesn’t change.

There was a thread last year on the official Tesla forum discussing this:
Model X Reduced Accelerations - Tech states it's new firmware to reduce shudder | Tesla

Yes, I think this is related to shudder. My car has shudder isssue and in a recent service visit they asked me to always keep the suspension in low.
However, I didn’t notice change in 0-60 on my car yet.

I went against an Infiniti Q60 just the other day, I beat him by a fender. Those things do 0-60 in 4.8s so based on that I wasn't slowed...
If this were the case, how come the 100D 0-60mph is still at 4.7s? Seems weird that they only updated the time for the 75D.
But this could explain why my car doesn’t feel any different from when I originally bought it since my suspension is always set to low.
When I am inquiring about a 75D, below is the reply from Tesla person.
That vehicle is currently listed as "6 seconds 0-60 mph.” However, once you receive delivery you can set up an appointment at the service center for a free speed enhancement. The update is not something we can do over the air because it is better managed through a hardwired connection at our Service Centers.

Interesting. Is this for real, or the modern day check the blinker fluid joke?

Yes it’s real. It’s called uncorking, many have done it including myself. But last I heard they stopped doing this about a year ago..

Was it like for like? They went through several motor revisions. Mine for example is older, it will keep up for a little bit before I'm in the rear view - even against a newer 75D.

Yeah, setting it for low definitely helped the shudder, but yesterday when I complained about the alignment affecting my tire life, the technician said, oh you must have your suspension set to low? Hmm, what are we supposed to do?
I had a late 2017 75D. I tested it at the same place through out its life, result had been pretty consistent. The 100D is barely any faster at launch, but once you get over 40mph. The 100D will just blow the 75D away, it feels that way in the car too.
One of the S guys logged the data, the peak power and motor are basically the same between the two cars. The 100D just allows for the same power output at higher speed where the 75 will drop off over 40
