75D with 85D battery? (Unlocked)

[Edders51]

Hi all,

Looking at a 2017 75D.
Badged as 75D, plate comes back as 75D, but the software says it's an 85D. What's going on here?

I've read that some 75s built in 2017 may have been shipped with an 85 battery (using up stock?) but I wasn't aware there has ever been an option to unlock this to get the full 85. I thought that had only ever been 60/70 to 75?

Can anyone shed any light? Obviously I will ask the vendor, but I trust the hive mind here a bit more...

Thanks.

There was no 85 Model S in 2017. Some European cars had a bigger capacity battery but they were still 75Ds.

What software says it's an 85D?

Software page on the main screen shows 85D. Looks like the dash shows 75D, but I've only seen a far picture.
It is a European car.

Find out what the full rated range is and look at the battery sticker info down by the front passenger wheel well

This sounds like a mistake. Probably pictures from 2 different cars.

Agree. I can't imagine any scenario where the MCU would show one model designation and instrument cluster would show another.

Battery code is BTX8. I have one. So far as I know, Tesla will not unlock the additional 10kWh. See thread on this battery from 2017.

My battery sticker says 85kWh, 400VDC, 1107172-00-A

The picture is from another car. If you insist, get a picture of the battery label. (Look inside Of front passenger fenderwell)

Battery code is BTX8. I have one.

And your car says "85D" in the MCU and "75D" in the instrument cluster? I don't think so.

a small number of euro 75 had a BTX85 battery.

I don't know if it suffers the same flaws as the rest of them but I would avoid 85 batteries unless Tesla puts in writing it will never get batterygate, chargegate, or draingate downgrades like the rest of the 85 fleet.

The 60/70 to 75 unlock goes the other way on 85 batteries. A lot of us were downgraded to lowered capacity without notice. You don't want a problem battery, just avoid it.

So I have one of these badged 75d but has 85d in the mcu, not sure if that means it has the extra 10kw unlocked is there anyway to find out and does anybody have anymore info on these rare cars?
