75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?
- Thread starter Bluejuice
- Start date
I had never heard of a battery or performance decrease option. I assume that this showroom mode is removed once a car is delivered. Battery unlocking and performance uncorking are unrelated.

The only "evidence" I have is the 5/17 MX75D loaner that I'm currently driving that feels just as fast as the 7/17 MS75 loaner I had just before that. They both felt faster than my own 11/16 MS75D. By the seat of my pants, the 5/17 MX75D service loaner is uncorked, but I have no way to prove it. Sorry I can't help anymore than that. I might ask my SC if they will pull the service records for the 5/17 MX75D loaner when I return it to see if anything has been done to it for uncorking. I will have to see what mine feels like after the MX loaner.
When I test drove a P100DL, there was an option to limit the output to a 60D/75D so that I'll get the driving dynamics of what I intended to buy.
So, for those with a 75D (I have a 60D), can you enter "performance" as an access code and reduce the output to a 70?

In demo cars you can choose to experience any lower level performance.
So in a 90D you could choose to experience it as a 75D.

I said you couldn't prove, and you didn't. Tesla updated the auto pilot hardware recently for example, do these two have that improvement, else, the discounts apply because these inventory vehicles have been outdated by those being produced now.
Maybe people already know this, but I found that if I select each Model S in Design Studio and select Next and then view the page source, all the option codes for the selected model can be found near the "section-options" text. Based on this, these appear to be the current drive units and battery codes:
Model S 75 RWD - DU01, BTX5
Model S 75D - DU00, BTX5
Model S 100D - DU00, BTX6
Model S P100D - DU01, BTX6
So it would seem that the RWD 75 gets the performance rear Drive Unit from the P100D, while the other AWD units get the DU00, plus whatever front drive unit.
I don't see any BTX7 options in any of the current configurations...

My understanding is that this is simply an empty easter egg, and tests indicate that the setting chosen seems to have no influence on the actual power. And like they say in the article below, if you take it literally you can actually add battery capacity and performance if you are really desperate

PS: There is a "showroom mode" with a secret code but this is meant to keep the car "on" indefinitely in the showroom while preventing it from being driven.

Like any of the metrics found here? The drive units are corked well below maximum power. The fact that the old uncorked drive units produce more kW than the new ones makes sense when you consider that the new inverters are more efficient so of course the old units need higher battery output to reach the same 0-60 performance.
No, you can't request it. Just like you can't ask a lottery ticket vendor to only give you winning tickets. But they do show up after the fact. @HankLloydRight are you considering adding the BTX7 to EV-CPO?
Any idea what the showroom mode is? I'd definitely want to use it when I leave someone in the car!My understanding is that this is simply an empty easter egg, and tests indicate that the setting chosen seems to have no influence on the actual power.

FYI -- I may move all the BTXx and DU0x options to the "Advanced" tab when I get back from a weekend trip.
Umm, do you work on the Teslorian? That was suspiciously fast.

Anyone near Birmingham want to check out a car for us? We'd really like a cell phone picture of the battery sticker on this car. Tesla claims its in Birmingham but you'd want to doublecheck before going out. @Rocktcity1?, @greglaw?, @N4HHE?, @Ken Sullivan?, @CSPHD?, @pjfranks1509?, @Steepler2k?, @ElectricTundra?
In the norwegian design studio the S75 rwd range is rated at 480 km NEDC.
But the CPO S75 rwd is rated at only 400 km NEDC.

Does the uncorked have shorter range?

How could it be in Birmingham, AL? There isn't a Tesla service or sales center in Alabama.
I am pretty sure it is but I guess nobody can see it. Sorry to waste the time of the Alabama crowd. Good luck against Florida State on Saturday.
I wasn't implying that you get to choose these options, just that these option codes are the current ones listing for all current new custom builds. That car you listed may indeed have been built when BTX7 batteries were part of the build options. It doesn't show any DU0x option in it's option codes though, which implies being built before the recent change?
And just to confuse things more, if you look at the current source code on the main Model S Design page, BTX7 and BTX8 and a host of other codes all show up, but it's not clear to me in what context...
