Its on the sticker on the inside of the drivers door jamb.where can I look for my car build date??
The key question here may be damages. I can’t imagine that an uncorked 75 is worth a great deal more than a “regular” 75 in the marketplace. I hope you have researched the amount of damages you have suffered and remember that a court will look to objective evidence — not how much you personally believe the uncorking is worth.
where can I look for my car build date??
Great to hear! What is your build date (there is a label on the drivers door jamb that has that date in there)?So yesterday I had my emblem changed from a 70d to a 75d by the mobile service. I asked him to check about the uncorking and thankful he was able to do it for me. He showed me P1 on his computer screen. Super happy I was able to be uncorked.
I have a similar concern around false advertising but related to range. I recently bought a 90D where they claim the range is 473KM (EPA) but when I charge to 90% it only shows 390KM at best. That's over 35KM short at 90% and 40KM+ short at 100%, or 10% less range than advertised. The whole reason I bought this car was to upgrade the range (and warranty) from my P85. I know the battery degrades over time but being a CPO they should be able to evaluate the vehicle and provide an accurate range or at least state that it's an estimate vs. a definitive amount. When I took it to the SC for various concerns I raised this one, their response was that they have no way of knowing how the battery was treated by the prior owner and "you get what you get". However this is not reflected in their advertising, nor is any physical damage. Anyone who puts a non-refundable deposit down has no idea what they are getting until it's too late.
Has anyone else dealt with this or heard about it?
I'm considering litigation as well...
This exact thing is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. They can easily charge the car to 100% and show the battery condition. Unfortunately currently there is no way of knowing this until you put down your generally non-refundable deposit. They display the best possible range for those cars in their ads. They don't even count the difference between 19 and 21 wheels which is crazy to me - a P90D with 21s can do 250 miles and 19s can do 270 but they display 270 miles for all P90D's.
The one question you need to definitively answer is: How do I prove there is a difference in range that lead to the false advertising? Finding internet posts are one thing, but you will need something more scientific to hold in any litigation. Said differently, you need to research, document, and educate yourself before proceeding. Challenging Tesla with just anecdotal evidense will get shut down with their claims of "expected range", "ideal conditions", and "normal battery degredation". Also, learn about the consumer protection laws in your state, and contact your state's consumer protection agency for how best to proceed.

Firstly I have the exact same car and problem. 4/16, my car is red. It was also a showroom car when I got it. I think yours was as well. The In Service date tells me you detailed earlier posts. Your car was around for six months just like mine.
I am the original owner of my car though. I tried the same thing when uncorking first came to be into practice in 2017 I want to say. I was told at short and longer lengths of discussion, it was the battery or the Rev level of the battery as we are all talking about here.
I to was disappointed. IF it had come down to it though I would not have given the car back. My car was never promised to be 4.2 upon sale though, just later uncorking became the "Thing".
DO I care now, no, my car goes fast enough in the real world and in reality, I drive my car now for range and less charging. I got over it pretty fast.
Its a bit of pain to pursue these things, but life is short, maybe that one second saves your life or someone else's. I hope this helps.

My build date is 05/2016Great to hear! What is your build date (there is a label on the drivers door jamb that has that date in there)?
SO there is another misleading fact here in the screen shot and EV-CPO It says 4.2 but it also is glaring 259 miles on a full charge. I know of no Tesla or electric car used that retains its whole battery capacity with 10-20-30-40-50k miles of usage. Leads me to believe the language of the CPO transaction may cover facts of this car may not perform as the specs when it was new.I sent the OP the full screenshot of the detail page for his car. Here's a portion of it:

Net-rat,
My 75 was built in 12/2016 and it could not be uncorked so obviously cars built months earlier couldn’t be either. The constant updating/upgrading of these cars after manufacture certainly explains why Tesla resales could have certain features advertised erroneously, but of course that doesn’t mean you have no legal recourse.
The key question here may be damages. I can’t imagine that an uncorked 75 is worth a great deal more than a “regular” 75 in the marketplace.

uncorked.
