I think the 100D will be introduced early next year. They need to constantly do things to boost sales and with free supercharging ending at the end of this year, they don't need to do anything else to boost sales before the end of the year. Even if the 100 pack production is up to handle expansion to the standard S/X, they will most likely hold off until January or February.

P100D demand is still having a hard time to be met as there's a complaint that an 8/2016 order is still not filled and now projected to be in December/January:
What is going on with P100 Production? | Tesla Motors
I imagine P100D demand should be met first before 100D orders should be opened next.
Tesla's actions are relatively predictable if you follow the logic. Right now, they're getting the demand that they need from the end-of-the year free supercharging rush. Adding the 100D before year end would be unnecessarily piling on and so it won't happen. Once the supercharging rush is over they will get a sharp demand drop unless.... ??? unless what??
So, we can expect to see something new & interesting in early January. The 100D is the most obvious candidate, as there is quite a bit of interest in that. Another possibility is an upgraded MCU and interior, although I wouldn't be surprised to see that in early spring, just before the next Model 3 reveal.
... or, during the reveal: "And btw: All Model S and X currently at the production-line is produced with this new/upgraded MCU/HUD/interior that we now have shown you here for the first time in the Model 3".
It is highly unlikely that any individual outside of Tesla will learn the 100D release date before Tesla announces it publicly. And of course Tesla won't even "announce" it beyond simply suddenly changing the website vehicle configuration page. For relatively minor changes that is all Tesla does.

Where did you get this information about the MCU/HUD/interior. My model is is in production now.
Some people believe that the Model 3 will have MCU/HUD and that Telsa would not put that in the 3 without putting in the S/X first because they will always have the latest technology. There is no evidence to back this up (though I am one of those believers).
There is evidence in statements from Elon that the S/X will always get the latest and coolest features first, before lower cost models like the 3 or the future 3-based SUV.
There is no compelling evidence, in my opinion, that Tesla will offer a HUD. That doesn't mean it won't happen...

Certainly we're going to see something interesting on the model 3. HUD or otherwise... who knows?
Hello,
I don't have an update on release that but my personal prediction is mid January. As someone found that 100D reference in design studio, I suppose they are now ready to release it soon.
I've heard that they will not discontinue 90s straight away, they will present 100 as an upgrade option, while ordering.
At first, they will not build software limited 90s, as the new pack is slightly more expensive to build.
Another update, as I mentioned in my first post, ventilated seats are now available in all models.
