0 to 60 uncork

[Polar993]

I inquired with my OA if my September delivery MX 75D has been uncorked and this was his response via email....

"There is no verification through the touch screen that your vehicle is uncorked. I can however confirm that our internal system does show the update completed on your vehicle."

This is good news, but is there really no way for the owner to verfiy that their vehicle has been uncorked, other than independently testing the 0-60mph time?

My car feels quick, but to me it doesn't feel like a sub 5.0 sec car. I guess I'll have to test it. What's the best iOS app to use?

PowerTools. If you send me the runlog I will put it in the Performance Metrics (see my signature). I have a bunch of Xs in the next release.

Brooks from DragTimes more or less confirmed that Tesla was throttling acceleration on his non-performance X100D. Power output off the line was inconsistent with power output at different speeds.

I posted my opinion that the 75D was artificially limited and that the new 0-60 speed was attainable with existing X75Ds without hardware upgrades... though that thread got me a ton of dislikes. I received my car back from service earlier this week. I asked about uncorking and was told that they will see what they can do. They never confirmed it was uncorked, but the car is noticeably faster and the power output goes past the max it used to on the dash power meter. Pretty sure mine was uncorked. March 17 build, btw.

The power meter should have a 300kw mark but I think Tesla purposely make the power meter with a 200kw mark limit to all uncork and cork 75D. So that you cannot verify by visual.

There is overwhelming evidence and little dispute that lower cars are software limited. If you don't want to send a runlog, you can be pretty sure whether you got uncorked by looking at max power.

Curious.... If anyone has tweeted Elon about uncorking for everyone our not?

Perhaps we should all tweet the same day, linking to these threads and inventory cars as examples of folks who got uncorked outside of official policy? Maximize exposure.

Rolling back the speed bump to existing owners would be a PR disaster so I presume they would either have to stop uncorking more cars or uncork as much as possible.

Something something “I thought Tesla was against giving anyone special treatment and that they would “never forget” existing S/X owners. The handling of this goes against both. Can you fix this?”

I’m okay with the fact I just missed the substantial 75D X drop in price, cheap 7 seat option, cheaper premium option bundle, and 2.5 hardware. After all, I got what I paid for.

But between the “just kidding, unlimited supercharging doesn’t just go to you” and now this, Tesla really threw a subset of owners under the bus.

Just posted on Twitter hoping for a response

I wonder, do you get invoiced for the Supercharger usage now?
Or is this a case where they might do that in the future?

Did anybody have any luck getting their pre July 1st delivered car uncorked?

If anyone has been uncorked by the factory they have not spoken about it. Anyone who has done it themselves has been reverted back by corporate engineering.

How does one even do it to themselves?

I talked with my service manager and he told me it's just a firmware update for my 75d model but only cars delivered July 1st or later are eligible. I thought Tesla told us that our car is future proof because we will get our firmware updated. It doesn't make any sense why only cars delivered July 1st or later can only get the update.

I got the same answer.

There are some very talented people on these forums.

Sure it does, they want you to trade in your (nearly) brand new 75D for a brand new 75D.

Not necessarily for a brand new 75D. You could trade in for an older build (than yours) with more miles and get the uncork.

This post caught my attention though...

Here's a snip from my car config diagnostic screen. Tow Package : Default

Here is my copy of the uncorking resolution email that went out tonight...

Back in July, we started by providing this update to a smaller population of 75D Model S and Model X to ensure quality and validation in the release. We've listened to your feedback and know that you’d like us to extend the population of eligible 75Ds, an objective we shared internally as well. Having spent the last few months validating if this is possible, we’re ready to include more customer 75Ds. There may be some cases in which we simply can’t make the update due to hardware differences, but we’ll do our best to do this for as many cars as we can.

Your local Service Center can confirm if your VIN is eligible. For eligible cars, our plan is to offer this as a complimentary update during your next Service visit so there’s no need to schedule a dedicated appointment – we’ll simply take care of it during your next visit. Please note that the performance enhancement may add up to two hours to complete and requires a hardwired connection to the car. You also have the option to opt out of this update altogether if you feel more comfortable with the current performance of your 75D.

Thanks for your patience and support while we worked through this. There was considerable amount of work required to get us here, but we’re looking forward to providing this as a complimentary update for the majority of our 75D customers.​
