Using my App, I could get anywhere between 4.1 and 4.8 seconds.....

How accurate is the Tesla speedometer?

It's not looking good for us. I guess we'll be taking an even bigger depreciation hit. Not a something I saw coming. I would definitely have gotten the AWD if I knew they were going to drop a second off of the 0-60. Hopefully the insurance companies will keep in mind that we have the slow Teslas.
Has anyone ever heard of a 2016 having any chance for performance upgrade?
The specs listed on Tesla's website suggest that the single motor 75 sees a similar reduction in 0-60.

Unless you are selling a 6month old car, I really wouldn't worry about it. 3 year old cars with AP sell for about as much as non-AP cars. 21" wheels are worth more than AP on a CPO. In 3 years, nobody will care when buying a 75. Heck, if they are that price sensitive, there will be model 3's that will accelerate same as your 75 for less money, and there will be other cars from other manufacturers. Today's power upgrade is not going to affect your resale in 3 years very much. Most buyers will not even be aware of it since it doesn't have any model designations.
Your calculation is not correct. You don't account for the voltage drop.
Wow - that a great bump up. Does your dash energy gauge list 300 or is it still showing 100 and 200?
at this point I am not sure that anyone 100% knows the answer to that question.
It helps us if you call and ask and let us know how it goes. Some cars without new hardware are getting uncorked and reporting 4.1 times. Other cars have new hardware and aren't getting uncorked. I haven't figured out the uncorking pattern. Some owners are getting contacted to get uncorked. Others are calling three times and told no three different ways and on the fourth call told yes. The latter has led me to ask four different ways and be told no every time even though I have new hardware.
So what exactly are we asking for ? Uncorking ? or basically if we have the HW for a performance improvement to match what is offered on the current Model S 75 and 75 D on the configuration tool for new builds... I have a MS 75 VIN 196XXX... so reading tis thread i should call and find out ......correct?
Yes correct. Also important to ask how the uncorking is delivered. Some have been told OTA others have heard you must come in to the SC to get the firmware.
Some of the AP2 cars with your specifications are getting faster times, some significantly. When was yours produced?
Everyone - Are AP1 cars getting the update? Are early 2016 cars from before the front fascia update? How far back does it go?
You know what......I've sceptical that ANYTHING has been changed hardware wise to lower these 0-60 times.
When you see that the $44,000 Model 3 is going to be 0-60 in 5.1 they HAD to do something, they couldn't have a Model 3 which would be $$$ cheaper being faster!
They've probably been software restricting the Model S's to provide longevity to the drive units/batteries.
They've probably always been able to do this speed (maybe even faster) but they didn't want to take it to the extreme limits.
That's why it appears so random and no one can work out who's getting this 'uncorking' benefit.

I hope that's the case! I love my car - but it's a little disappointing that my 2016 S75D is slower than the long range Model 3.
