75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?
- Thread starter Bluejuice
- Start date
Thanks - I didn't think that the firmware version had changed. The car was gone for around 90min while they performed the update.
How do I find the build date of an inventory car? Would be good to understand whether it was made after the motor changes came in mid June.
Thanks for the tip Dennis. It's 199xxx. I've tried the TeslaTap VIN decoder, and others, but they only seem to give me the year. How do I get the month?
Interestingly, I've just noticed that my S 75 D seems to be fitted with the 85kWh battery. The same part number as in the Electrek article earlier in the week. At the time, that article said those had only been seen in Norway but they've clearly made it to the UK as well.

Funny, Tesla is uncorking the performance on my 75D today. Just got a notification on my phone app saying my firmware is updated to 2017.28 c528869 which I already had it on my 75D. I guess the firmware has to be reinstalled after the uncorking? I will validate this when I pick it up from service.

Well what are you waiting for? Put a photo of the battery sticker here!
You mean like this?

Are you in UK? Seem like the owners from UK are reporting that they have 85 kWh battery on their 75 Tesla. No one from US so far...
@turbosimon Both Norway and UK...
Could be that Tesla prioritized putting the 85 kWh batteries into international delivery cars, because those are the one's that would otherwise most easily get obsoleted before taking delivery (due to long delivery times that often span two quarters)? In the U.S. they can probably get away with making/shipping 75 kWh a bit longer...
Unless this, of course, is just an exercise to get rid of some old 85 kWh battery stock. In which case your guess is as good as mine...

The battery is manufactured in May, when did you take a delivery?
If new-made 85 kWh batteries really are being sent with international orders (software limited to 75 kWh), then the old-stock theory is out and it is pretty much a sealed deal IMO that 85 kWh Model S/X is coming soon - perhaps as soon as tomorrow on Model 3 launch to keep Model S's edge on range compared to the smaller and nimbler Model 3 (larger battery variant)...
In the meanwhile, Tesla's quarterly optimization operation would have made sure most 75 kWh's in the delivery pipeline are software upgradeable to 85 kWh...

What's the last few of your VIN? I have an S coming that is 2097xx. Hoping it has 85kwh battery.

"Customer requests uncork" has to be the best RO in the history of automotive service departments.

Picked up my 75D from service after it was uncorked and drove it home just now.......Oh Yes! Much quicker off the line. Definitely the uncorking did the trick. As I posted earlier, my service invoice shows this. Now I have to be extra careful not to get a speeding ticket.

Very lucky guy. The 400V battery is a sweet perk because you can supercharge faster too.
