75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?
- Thread starter Bluejuice
- Start date
congrats.... this is consistent with what the SC told me ......but is is proof the earlier 75/75D builds can be uncorked ...
Just to be clear what the SC told me was certain 75/75D vehicles have been flagged in the system for uncorking .... my Model S 75 May 2017 build was not flagged.
Now the question is how far back does this treasure hunt go?
All 2017s?
All refreshed?
60D S and X from 2016?!?!?
It seems pretty clear the 75D can be uncorked. I'm not sure we've seen a case for a 75 getting the performance increase firmware update (with the exception of a handful inventory/used showing 4.4 on the website).
It seems that they changed the text for inventory/used S75/75D on the website to show 5.4 zero to 60 currently, which doesn't make sense since they were 5.2 for S75D and 5.5 for S75 before the performance increase.
must be a typo....S75D is 0-100km/hr is 5.4.....i believe it should be 5.2 0-60mph
It's definitely a typo, especially since it's showing the same performance for the 75 vs 75D.

Everything I've seen is hinging on 1 July 2017. Regardless of the manufacture date, if the car was delivered on or after 1 July, you are likely eligible for the performance upgrade. If your car was delivered on 30 June or earlier, it is currently not an option. This was the last word that I got back from my phone call with Tesla corporate last week-ish.
They may change the policy at a later date, but until then, that is the only date that seems to matter at the moment.
Disclaimer: I may be horribly wrong, but from the information I've been given from Tesla (from various sources), this seems the most accurate at the time of this writing.

Seems like some very accurate info.....July 1 is the date....cant wait to hear from warrenbecker to determine what was done (hardware and/or software)?
Hi All - Sorry for the delay in giving an update. I can now confirm my car has been uncorked. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds with a max KW output of 337KW (pre-uncorking was 280). All i can say is holy $@#% what a difference.
From what i am being told it is a software only firmware update, no hardware involved.
See below run log from power tools and for @rsan the Log File.
Again - I believe regardless of build date, if your a July 1 or later delivery you should be eligible as i have been told a number of times my car was "flagged for uncorking"
Here's to hoping more of you are eligible.

Can you confirm where you heard it was software only?
If this is the case (which I think everyone suspects it is now), this is very frustrating to all 75D owners.
Wow, my vin is 189XXX.
The fact that we're now hearing that inventory models don't show 4.4 anymore is not a great sign (didn't look myself). I wonder if they're gonna do selective uncorking again mid to late q4 again for sales and not release it to the masses. Blah
They started installing new DU00 drive units at least as early as 15 June. 19 June is what the regional teams are told.

How did you go about getting contact? Was it to SC or corporate? I am on the similar situation however mine was May 17 built and late June delivery. So far the SC washed their hands completely of it saying if it isn't indicated, it won't work.
