I really would love to know who the original poster is so I could get in touch.

They mentioned a very late build before it was discontinued. Interesting.

Can you share part of your VIN or production date for that 90D?

I'm not sure I buy it. I've brought the subject up multiple times with different people in Tesla. Corporate as well as the local service center. All assured me it wasn't an option for the 90D. :\

 

[scottycs]

agreed. But I hope there is the option....

But how late is your manufactured date?

In order words how close is it to June 2017 before the 90D cars were discontinued?

Also on a sidenote, I really want to see the rest of that text chain. They were asking for the new 0-60 and it got cut off from there.

Mine was built May '17.

So mine was built September 2017. It’s a unicorn. End of quarter push on inventory models where the 90D was brought back at limit quantity. So I would assume mine would definitely qualify

Given past discussions about the 90D being "already uncorked" when they rolled off the manufacturing line, sadly I suspect this is bunk.

It’s signed Tesla SB. Likely Santa Barbara, CA. Maybe it’s a worth a call to them to see if they were the location that did it?

As a data point, I have a last week of August 2017 manufactured 90D and I inquired about the uncorking back when it was first made available. I was told that it’s not available for 90Ds, even though I have the newer drive unit.

For my Model X100D, I was able to get the "uncork" and on paper it shaved off like 0.1 second.
And it felt really the same, unlike Model S75D from 5.2 to 4.2 seconds.

I believe Model S100D is not much different from X100D. Personally, I wouldn't worry about 90D being "uncorked" as you will not likely feel the difference.

I did the same thing and was told the same as well. It’s technically possible to do so. It’s a metter if Tesla would actually do it or not.

I tried to follow up on the FB post, but it is now gone....

I’m genuinely curious what the actual expected gain would be. Assuming the car does 0-60 in 4.2s now, and an uncorked 100D does 3.6ish, how much room is there really for a 90D battery even with an updated drive unit. 3.9 seconds?

Anyone know?

No surprise. Nothing to see here, folks...

 

[scottycs]

I think the option to uncork it is there, but the question if there is any benefit....
