60 > 75 Upgrade now $2k

[hatman4731]

i have coils on mine. After driving the air loaner i can definitely feel the "floaty" feeling so glad i went with coils for the driving feel (came from a BMW so used to the slightly harsher ride).

I do envy people who can lower their cars though -- my wheel gap is way too big

 

[hatman4731]

It is possible that 90D and 100D are heavier and the coils are standard on 75's now. Frankly IMO coils are better because they are more reliable over the long run.

It used to be available on 60/75 in January though. No reason not to offer it as an option for the lighter car for those people with high driveways.

Yeah, I noticed that Air Suspension is unavailable with the 75. If it had been I would have swapped my 60D order for a 75D.

Just upgrade your 60 to a 75 as it only costs $500 more. (If you were already getting the all glass roof, which is now standard.)

they already pushed the update to my car. charging it up now, woohoo!

Yeah, for $500 net difference, I could change my order, but pretty sure I'd lose my current Air Suspension option, no? I have to have my air suspension

So, a Model S 75 now starts at $69,500, All-Glass Roof is included. The Air Suspension and High-Amp Charger are not available on the 75.

I made an order this last Saturday and I was able to get Air Suspension (and did!). So this is a brand new change to make it not an option on the now cheapest model.

Good catch on also eliminating the High Amp Charger for the 75 now...I didn't see that.

High Amp Charger was an upgrade option after purchase for the old 60D. I wonder if they will still allow that?

 

[Papafox]

Does anyone know the first manufacturing date for Model S 70s that can be upgraded to 75s? I have a May 2015 delivery that doesn't show any upgrade available on the "My Tesla" page. Just out of curiosity, where on the page do see the upgrade offer?

 

[Mediocrates]

The High Amperage charger is now standard equipment on the 100D/P100D. It appears to be unavailable on any other models.

 

[Shock-On-T]

Yay. I payed $7500 for the 60->75 upgrade in January...

Edit: Actually it was $9K. Just looked at my invoice. Starting to feel sick to my stomach

Hope the give you some cash back, like Apple did a few years back when they cut the iPhone price.

 

[Shock-On-T]

Currently in the middle of a cross country trip with my 70... this is so tempting. The extra few miles would be nice for sure. Hmmmmmm

I'm literally on the ferry home from just such a trip! Why couldn't this have been a few days earlier!

70s shipped with a 70kwh battery - they cannot be software upgraded.
60s shipped with a 75 battery artificially limited.

Has there been a precedent set for that (with Tesla)?

I don't know of any. They might take into account the price you paid for 60 vs what someone payed for 75 at that time. I think the 60 was pretty cheap back then.
Still, sh!t happens mate, don't let it worry you. When I was first shopping for my car I got my finance sorted then the price jumped $20K due to exchange rate change :-(

 

[FlatSix911]

New price structure ... with all glass roof included

I believe the late model facelift 70 can be upgraded to a 75

It doesn't really worry me as much as it just irritates me. I'm about to drop $20K on some powerwalls, we have a model 3 reservation and I was looking at replacing my S with an X. I'm thinking it might be best to just stick with the S, forget the powerwalls and see how the 3 launch goes.
