Not exactly what you are asking for, but my corked S75D maxes out at 274-275 kW while accelerating. This was tested using the "Dashboard for Tesla" android application.

How exactly do I find out the exact date on which my car was built? I know my S75 was built in June 2017 (and delivered at the beginning of July), but I do not know the exact day of the month and where it falls on the side of this June 19 cut-off I keep seeing pop up in this thread.

I'll definitely run Powertools on my S75D and report the numbers to you for your database when I get delivery (it was supposed to be Sept. 25th, then Sept. 30, now might be as late as Oct. 7th so who knows when it will actually get here). It was built on September 4th 2017 so it should be uncorked and have the new drive unit, but not sure about the battery. Have the new 85 KWh batteries still only been spotted in Europe so far?
BTX8 is only outside the US. There is a mystery battery in the US called a BTX7 but it is 75kW and 350v just like the BTX5 you will likely get. We don't have a Powertools runlog from a BTX7 and even if we did we likely wouldn't know how it was different until we watched the CAN bus communication from the battery with something like TM-Spy and its required hardware.

Yes that’s the reading I get through powertools for iOS but my power gauge in my dash still only goes to 200.
Sorry but just a little confused.
When I floor the accelerator, the power meter on the dash goes past the 200 mark and almost close to the 250+ mark I am guessing. I can't be sure because the gauge only shows 200 and then some but 300 is not on it.
Before your car got uncorked, did the power peak below the 200 mark on the Dash readings as well?
Thanks

It probably goes closer to the 400 mark really, as the gauge multiplies by every tick. 50 - 100 has the same distance as 100 - 200. thus the next mark after 200 would actually be 400, and seeing as many has reported above 330kw (using other measuring tools) with the new performance it seems logical.
My fresh 75D definatly goes a long way past the 200 mark, even tho there is no 400 mark, I would say it gets fairly close to where it would have been. My old S60 rwd went just above the 200 mark when flooring it.
And for the record, its a hella lot faster than my old S60
I bought an inventory 75D (Vin 194xxx) built 4/25/2017 and took delivery on 9/19/2017 at West Palm Beach. It is corked but I was told (in writing) that it will be uncorked. They said that it required a firmware update that had to be done at the service center and that they would be sending me an email in a month or so to set up an appointment to have it done.
Reading some of the posts here, I just got off the phone from my Dallas SC. Guy sounded like he was reading off a statement sheet, but essentially said that Mid-June produced cars were the cutoff date, and any cars taking delivery July 1st or after could be updated.
Mine (75 RWD) was produced in April and I took delivery late June FYI. He mentioned there was no way to retrofit, but given what @warrenbecker said, I don't know.

That is what they have been saying at the local SC. Not correct information it seems. Until last week many new inventory cars built way back in 2017 were getting the Software update.. It seems like they are cutting off at July 1st delivery because as someone said, that was when the Design Studio changed their specs. Anyone before that date knew what they were buying...in other words.
Also, I only know about the 75Ds and not sure if 75s can get the update..
I have a VIN of 193*** . I have a 75D that was in inventory . Purchased on June 28th and delivered on June 30th. I actually wanted delivery on July 1st a Sat but they asked if i could get it on the 6/30 .
Where or who do I speak to about uncorking and do you guys think I have a good case?

You could call the phone number to Tesla directly and ask. If I had to guess at their response, they would tell you that because it was delivered before 1 July 2017, it would not be eligible. However, should they decide to waive that in your situation, I recommend following any disclosure guidance that may come with the upgrade.
