Asked elon for sub 5 second software update via twitter (taking into account 'New hardware needed for 4.2'). Others should too! Sometimes he listens lol

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

I am taking delivery of my inventory S 75 today, and will let everyone know if I have the 'updated' performance. That was one of the criteria when I did my inventory order, but now i'm confused. My VIN is in the 210xxx range.
Unsure of exact build date, but i'll ask for sure. Would they let me drive before I sign the papers?

Took delivery of my car.
Model S 75 RWD
SN: 210xxx
Build date: July 24th 2017
Drive unit: DU01
Battery: BTX5 (75 kwh)
SW at delivery: 2017.32 9ea02cb
Butt dyno 0-60 time (well under 5 seconds)
I'm 100% sure I have the new uncorked car. The delivery guy confirmed it, but didn't provide any documentation or anything else, so I had to take his word and my butt dyno.
I had been previously driving an X P90D loaner, and my car feels just as quick off the line.
Very happy. Delivery was meh, but overall car is good.

Can you elaborate on this? After looking at the options decoder I can't seem to see anything that stands out indicating if it had an upgrade.
Does it have to do with this?
"BR00 No firmware limit"
Or
"PF00 No Performance Legacy Package"
Or
"X025 No Performance Package"
Or
"PX00 No Performance Plus Package"
Can You download a free app on the iPhone or Android that tests the 0-60 times and see what you get? I have an android so I can't use this fancy Tesla Tools app .
Fastest my phone could record going at a slight downhill grade was 5.0s flat but averaging 5.2 sec overall on my 75D.
This is with a 198xxx and SW 2017.28 c528869
I don't think the performance update is reflected in the option codes. I think it's more likely a firmware setting. The question is if it depends, in any way, on a hardware change that was done at some point.

I'm on Android too, in and in my ice cars, I used Torque Pro with the OBDII adapter. Gotta figure out an alternative for the Tesla.
What's your build date? I was told when I took my car, all cars previous to mid june will not have the perf update.
True.. ish.
Mine was built in May 2017. 198xxx VIN.
But some people have reported the update with lower VINs. There's a lot of mixed information out there. I can only hope and pray.
I also used Torque pro! I don't know what else to use now!
Tesla PowerTools costs $7 on iOS and it gives 0.3 sec accuracy as long as you have mobile cell coverage. Power users are switching to the free TM-Spy app but it requires a bluetooth LE OBD2 dongle, a patch cable and some minor car disassembly.

I'd gladly buy Tesla Powertools but I can't seem to find it in the Android app store.
We know that the hardware change is minimal, maybe as little as fuses. It certainly doesn't require the new drive unit, although in the US they had coincidentally only uncorked cars a couple days after the new drive unit, at least that is up until the several pending cases of old inventory uncorking. All of which is a good sign for all the older cars.

Can you sustain the bolded statement with a reference? AFAIK, the only thing we have to that end is a statement by wk that the smaller DUs are capable of exceeding their maximum rated power draw. But just because they can do this does not mean that they won't suffer accelerated wear, increased risk of failure, etc. over the long run.

VINs do not have to correlate with production dates. People have gotten VINs and had production delayed.
New 0-60 Times caused by new drive unit it seems...

It appears that the new drive unit is coincidental to, but not required for the performance upgrade. If user rsan is correct, rsan has the old drive unit (pre DU00) as well as the existing BTX5 350v battery. Living in Australia, rsan's car, VIN199xxx, had a production date of 22 May and was delivered the week of 17 July. Rsan confirmed the performance upgrade before taking delivery. And rsan timed the car's 0-60\0-100 times at 4.25 and 4.4 seconds respectively.
It is still possible that rsan's car is slower than new "uncorked" DU00 models. But it is clearly faster than cars produced weeks later with DU00 that have not been "uncorked".

Used PowerTools for Tesla for a run 0 - 100 (99) one time for my S75D with 85 KW battery - the time is 4,5 second. I think this is because of the 85 kw / 400V battery , and no upgraded drive unit , but dont know...
MAX power 469 HP.....
The time is good though
No problem
I also think that , because this time SOC was under 50% But how can I check what DU I have in my car?
No problem
We already checked for you here: you don't have it.
One way is to go into the "my Tesla" page with the Chrome browser and right click the picture of your car and save the URL link. And post it here (exclude the RNxxxxxx) or just open it in the Tesla Options Decoder. I think you can also pull the options codes if you install Visible Tesla overview tab, details button. DU00 is the new drive unit. There is no code for the old drive unit. You can also ask Tesla support what your car's production date is. That would help us. I am guessing late May or early June.
