So I finally got the car uncorked!!! Ranger had to come out since it didn't take on Saturday. They called me this morning saying they were monitoring my car and realized that it didn't take so wanted to send someone out. Took the guy some time and a few tries but it finally took. Definitely noticeable! Holy crud she is fast. Also got some info from him:
- There are actually two settings that need to be changed: Performance Configuration needs to be set to P1 and a second option set to uncorked instead of standard (cant remember what its called but its the same setting used for Ludicrous)
- 60D can get the uncorking but they are not letting them as its a feature they only want to offer to 75D customers.
- Apparently they can even enable Ludicrous mode on a non P car but it will throw error codes and go in to limp mode. (I asked since I saw the option available for my car when he was uncorking)
- Engineers have been looking at this for some time planning it out seeing if it was possible to do safely with minimal wear.
- Reason they want a hardwire connection instead of over the air update is because between the steps it disables safety features for what ever reason and doesn't always take the first time so they don't want people driving around with said safety features disabled due to an error in the uncorking, this way they can address it in shop.
- Saw the service bulletin, he said you can pay $30 or so bucks for access all of their manuals and bulletins for an hour at https://service.teslamotors.com which gives you all the details
- Apparently they are constantly discussing possible improvements and updates such as uncorking.
- Service centers have access to all the engineer notes and details on how they came to this decision and all that jazz it just takes time to read through it all and not everyone wants to take the time to read all that stuff.
- Their WAVE system or what ever it's called is set up with geo fences for each Tesla so when you drive up it gives them all of your info so they can best address you.
- They still haven't fully figured out how they will support the M3 influx of demands at the service centers but they will still provide a certain level of white glove service. (Might be diminished but still better than any other dealership)
- Initially they will just throw parts at any problem when they become swamped with M3 workload because it will be faster than trying to find the exact problem or see if its fixable. (Motor problems, have a new motor! Battery problems? Have a new battery!) lol
- No info on 8.2 or 3rd party apps or anything on that front.
- Complain enough and you will get anything for free (He straight up told me to complain about everything... lol) They will do everything possible for a happy customer
- Techs will sometimes provide feedback on the Forums but not too much because people like me will ask them a trillion questions and will get overwhelmed quickly.
- Got to see the diagnostics screen on the Tesla and there is quite a bit of info sadly I couldn't go fishing around the menu options but it has a lot of info even a date of birth lol. Down to the second.
That is all I can remember right now, there might of been more. Let me know if y'all have any questions.
