Ok, so just an FYI for what it's worth:
I received a MS75 as a loaner yesterday from my SC. It was from the dedicated demo fleet for the local mall showroom. My salesman gave the SC permission for me to take it while my MS75D was in for service. The MS75 loaner felt much quicker off the line than mine. I checked the manufacture date and it was made on 7/17, so this should be the higher performance version, so it made sense.
Fast forward to later that day and I was contacted by the SC to tell me they now had their official service loaner, a MX75D, available now and they were going to deliver it to me and swap it out with the sales demo unit.
Now I'm driving this MX75D and it feels just as fast as the new MS75 I just had. I checked the manufacture date and it's 5/17.
This should not have been the higher performance version. Since it seems just as fast to me, I'm guessing it was upgraded AFTER manufacture somehow. Not sure if it was software or hardware, or a little of both. FYI, they are both running 17.32.6ca28227 software.

And why didn't they rollout all the changes at once right before a Monday morning announcement, instead of distracting us all weekend. I have no idea.
You are not imagining things. They are upgrading older inventory, CPO, demos, service loaners and other Tesla owned cars, regardless of date of manufacture.
For what it's worth, I escalated a question regarding the over the air update to the executive team on mytesla. Below is the reply I just received.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
The update you are referring to applies to vehicles that were produced in July of this year or later. It appears as though your vehicle was produced in February of this year and therefore does not contain the hardware capable of receiving this update.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know!

If possible, I would follow this up with: "Then how are all the inventory and CPO cars being advertised as including this change?"
It isn't, that's the problem here. I hate to be negative, but this is one big thing I hate about on-going production changes, your car can be made a day earlier, and you'll miss out on some big features. Tesla has been hush hush on this issue from the day they announced it and that's not good for their customers who already bought the product. Either they tell the truth on what's going on or offer something for the customers.
Krash: any updates from your escalation?

Where do you see cpo cars advertising this new 0-60 time? All inventory cars built after mid June should have the new perf.
Considering that my MX75D is 045xxx with a May 2017 manufacture date and a late June 2017 delivery, its not that early. Newest inventory I've seen are in the 059xxx range now.

You can view it by viewing th e link via private browsing.
Interesting for sure, possible typo?
I don't think so
Model S 75 5YJSA7E17GF153101 | Tesla Sverige
Model S 75 5YJSA7E16GF155082 | Tesla Sverige
All CPO EU refresh 75D/75 are 4.4-4.6s 0-100km/h (4.2-4.3s 0-60 mile/h)

You have to add "?redirect=no" (without quotes) to the end of the URL of Tesla car listings before you post them. Otherwise the person wanting to view the link has to add it before they press enter to resolve the link. If not and the person wanting to see the link is in another region, that person get redirected to their own regional page where that car isn't eligible to be sold. Hence it disappears.
No but my escalation is unofficial and considering some updated information I sent over I would be surprised if I now hear before Wednesday. I actually think that the longer mine takes the better. Most of the "no" answers come back pretty quickly. Even my previous escalation though corporate engineering didn't take this long. I know that is little consolation to everyone else.
I am kind of surprised that they are saying produced in July instead of June 19th. I would have thought they would have a form for this. I specifically mentioned in my notes that understanding the above I wanted clarification on some additional issues.
And I did ask a question similar to this which engineering did not address.

The fact that Tesla is all cloak and dagger about this doesn't bode well either. Tweetboy would've taken to his account and touted the uncorking surprise regarding older 75 cars awhile ago. Unless they're still trying to figure out a way to do it with the least harm. Maybe they're thinking of offering a path similar to the P85D Ludicrous option so people aren't left in the cold, so to speak.
I don't know.. I get the feeling nothing will be done unless owners gather their torches and pitchforks and head, figuratively, to Palo Alto. Prove me wrong, Musk.

Tiki torches?
Back on topic ... we really need to find out what the story is with the CPO cars.
If they really aren't 4.2s then Tesla will be legally exposed for describing as such in the ads.
If they are 4.2s then obviously a software upgrade is all that's required.
Also, show some respect to Elon.
