A cold battery will also sap the range, but i'd bet because the car had already been launched a few times, the battery will have warmed up.
We'll just have to wait and see as time goes on how much this affects range

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

If you mean quickness as opposed to top speed, most of the quickness cones from torque, not power or current, so yes you could get another but smaller increase. This is why the uncorked S100D is only a touch quicker than an uncorked S75D, if the torque got increased further the gap would narrow. The biggest benefit of the higher artificial limit pf power in the S100D is the short moment where the power limit of the S100D is maxed out. The benefit of the very real higher current limit of the bigger batteries is in passing speed - more power at every speed above 60.
The torque limit on the small motors is 330Nm each. If this is a real constraint then there is only about 10% headroom left in torque. But if the power limit was raised then the quarter mile would come down a bit. If the current limit of the batteries were increased then the quarter mile times would come down considerably.
No but we can estimate it from the power velocity: 604-628Nm depending on the battery. Specifics in the Metrics Tracking.

This’s a good point, as I forgot to preheat prior to pickup, so she was cold-soaked. Lower 20° temps last night.
@BartJ I arrived after service had left, so I didn’t get to inquire as to what the holdup was with my car in particular, but I doubt I would’ve gotten anything definitive.
Forgot to also mention, the most discernible differences between my car and the 100D loaner was the latter had a groan under WOT, whereas mine has a more intense whine than before. Otherwise, performance is approximately the same.

I have just got both speed upgrade and annual service.
Boy, it feels very different! 5.2 second to 4.2 second definitely is a big jump and it feels faster than my X100D which gets like 4.7 seconds.
Yeah, also it sounds more noisy when in full acceleration than before.
Maybe the loaner I got made me feeling slow drive and when I received my Model S back, it may have made me feel faster? The loander was Mercedes 2017 C300, relatively new. I really missed my car for last three days in service.

Got my October build car and a professional GPS performance meter. I did 3 runs (85% battery, AC on by mistake) to 62 miles an hour
3.96 seconds
3.98 seconds
3.91 seconds
I'm a happy camper

Awesome!
What model S?
October 2017 build?
If so and a 75D, do you have the 85 battery we’ve been seeing?
Just added my sig 
It's the 75D. It has battery code BTX5 (showed BTX8 for 1 day, in the config, but that seems an error).
And important to add: Didn't do a roll-out. Just floored the "throttle" from a standstill. Measurements were done by a Vbox.

You can easily see your battery info under your car on passenger's side

In an uncorked 100D, that's where the difference is noticeable. Coming from an 85D, I definitely felt the artificial acceleration post 45mph, so that's why the 100D blew me away
Are you sure that you were on a %100 flat road? Cuz these numbers are too good
100% and I've reproduced them a day later
However, now I'm on wintertyres which made it into a 4.4 second sprint (today). They just don't grip as the standard Michelins that they come one.
I've used the GPS tracker and the Dashboard for Tesla app. This is the road I use

It really is, incredible that is. Which app did you use? I got my 75D uncorked a few weeks ago but haven’t successfully measured anything yet. It just FEELS faster, and more aggressive too.
PowerTools for iPhone, you could also use Dashboard if you have Android. And yeah even the sound during acceleration is a lot louder.
