75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

[ChooseAnother]

I made a reservation(config)(still didnt pay deposit) yesterday and my spec link code shows that it's still BTX5 and DU00. This means even August configured cars getting old-gen engine and old-gen 75kwh battery? Should i cancel my reservation or proceed?

Note: Its also say "October Delivery"

The order page has the new performance specs so just snap a pic of those and don't worry.

The new performance specs(faster 0-60 time) do not guarantee a new gen battery.

How are you finding this out? I placed my deposit and I click on the spec link but I don't see any mention of what you are saying. I got a 75D.

Does anyone have these numbers for an uncorked 75 RWD? I take delivery of mine end of August and simply can't wait!!

If you don't take delivery until August your car will have the new drive unit & the increased performance. No uncorking necessary.

Dont click. Just copy the spec link, paste it and read the whole link with codes.

I don't see what you mentioned so I'm assuming I'm good.

I just made a config(October Delivery) but my spec link still shows DU00 which is old-gen drive unit and BTX05 old-gen battery too?

Is that in the beginning of the code link? or towards the end?

Oh wait I just realized that you are in Europe. So perhaps the coding won't be the same?

Maybe. But probably not?

Okay. But how about new drive unit?

Middle i guess. Just search the link for "BT" and "DU" keywords.

interesting i found..

%2CDU00
%2CBTX5

 

[ChooseAnother]

"%2C" these are just space symbol, ignore them. "DU00" "BTX5" these are the important ones and they are same as mine. I know that these are old battery and drive unit codes and i fear that will we get and "old" 75D when our car is produced? :/

DU00 is the new drive unit for most cars. DU01 is the drive unit for the Performance version. The old drive units didn't have codes.

rgalmeida34, If you are in Chicago, you may not get the new battery. I don't think we have seen it yet in the US.

ChooseAnother, in Bulgaria you will almost certainly get the new battery. UK and Norway have been getting them for a while now. Do you live near a service center where you can check new cars getting delivered and see what the battery code is?

Oh i see, we are getting the new drive unit at least! But the old battery has old contactors too? which they are chronical problem of Tesla's?

(BTW Copying image of reservation shows a very few spec codes so that is insufficent?)

You can look up the codes here or manually under Show All possible options. Once you get the car you can lookup all the codes in Visible Tesla if no other way.

Yeah, there used to be more codes there. I don't think the contactors are problematic. The new drive units are due to the Model 3 going to be produced at 500,000 units a year. Those economies of scale are spilling over into the other models by the way of new parts. Also Tesla is governing all the drive units and batteries for not only safety but for product differentiation. I think the "uncorking" of the 75D is to give more folks a reason to stick with the more expensive cars.
