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

[evster]

I have a video that might prove I have the performance update. While it's not 100% accurate, but I was at 60mph way before the 5s mark. At 5s, I was at 68 (when I decelerated). Production Date: April 2017. VIN in the 194XXX

What does your power meter go up to? Couldn't see the scale from the video. I thought I had heard the upgraded cars show the higher level on the meter.

Same power meter on new cars. I just had a new (7/17) MS75D loaner and it had the standard display.

Ha! It was needed here. Go in your car and try to video horizontally on the mph while driving. Then try vertically. It's easier to hold the phone vertically while being able to capture what I needed.

The highest number is 200. It will definitely go way pass it as you hit it hard.

Flat road?

 

[EnjoyingLife]

Slight uphill...but it's very slight and might as well be flat.

What's the software version it needs to be on for the increased power for 4.2?

Just did three runs and captured it. Not a happy person right now.

I had a MS75 made on 7/17 with the upgrade and it was running 2017.32.6

Currently it says 2017.32.17, though I was guaranteed it was uncorked prior to delivery. There better be a really good reason for this.

 

[EnjoyingLife]

I too have 2017.32.6.ca28227

 

[Pandamoanium]

I too have 2017.32.6.ca28227

So my current version is old and not the one that uncorks it?

 

[Shock-On-T]

I doubt the uncorking is related to the software version.

I have 2017.34.2448 on my June 15 car, which does not have the upgraded performance.

 

[EnjoyingLife]

My theory is, the SC can do it at will. They did it on my because they had to reset everything during their inspection before the delivery. I'm guessing they just did it there as part of the process. I know someone who had a Mid June date where her car needed service. Half day of work for her service, it was fixed as well as added the performance update (came as a surprise to her).

 

[Shock-On-T]

Just for fun I took my definitely-corked S75D for a spin.
Road had a slight incline so measured 0 - 100kph times in both directions.
Uphill: 5.1 s
Down: 5.03 s

I estimated 0 - 60mph times by using 96.6kph=60mph and got:
Uphill: 5.08 s
Down: 5.01 s

Still a pretty quick car...

Also, was your AC on? I shut my off during my run...

Can't believe the media has not picked up this story yet? There's so many confusions and it seems like Tesla is hiding something. If they can uncork inventory cars built before July then they can do it on delivered cars as well.

Calling @FredLambert to reach out to Tesla for a clearer answer!

Damn, AC was on! Very mild day though so probably not working too hard.

 

[Pandamoanium]

Hm, AC was on tonight. I doubt that will add over one second though.

I just finished seven runs. Only time I got it below five was going downhill. Just as a test to see if I could even get close.

Tesla, "proved" to me it was uncorked. Though this is telling me otherwise.

Don't bother Fred. Tesla has already answered this. Tesla could uncork the older cars but they don't uncork cars delivered before 1 July unless they were built after June 19th. They do uncork cars delivered after July 1st regardless of when they are built. The list of cars to get the performance upgrade is static (meaning they aren't adding any more) and they don't plan to sell an upgrade to previous owners. Hence inventory, CPO, Demo cars, loaner cars are all getting uncorked, but owners of older cars can't uncork those cars at the moment.
