Just picked up my 100D this morning. I think the consensus of this thread (@Chasedrgc1223 & @Speedr117, and others) is spot on. I think the 100D lays down more power from 40mph and up than it's 0-60 time alludes to.
From the performance graphs, it looks like it actually puts down about the same power at the 75D to 40mph, so it's probably slower considering the battery weight, then I think it lays down really good power, and it felt at least as fast as a P85D at 60mph, although my memory could be off on that. The P85D probably feels comparatively slower at 60mph since it's so dang fast to 60. I have a corvette that runs 11.9 @ 118 and the 100D definitely like it pulls as hard at 40-65mph.
I'll be grabbing some logs and doing some races against my corvette to gather more evidence.
Thanks for the guidance and the advice! I think this car is just the right speed for me. Any slower and I'd feel a little let down, and any faster and it's awesome and amazing (especially if you are racing someone), but also nauseating and expensive. Range is great too!

Perhaps Tesla has done the same thing with the 100D that they did with the 75D, but don't want to put it out there quite yet, lest the onslaught of another wave of owners wanting uncorking would overwhelm service centers that haven't yet worked through the backlog of 75D owners wanting the published uncorking.
Or, at least, this is want to believe, since I just custom ordered an S100D myself for December delivery. I wanted to wait, but not at the risk of losing the $7,500 tax credit.

Dragtimes posted a test video yesterday regarding the 100D with DU00. To not spoil it, I'll not comment further regarding the results.
Blog: How fast is the updated Tesla Model S 100D from 0-60 MPH and what is Chill Mode?
Yeah, they got about 3.5s. Now the questions are:
1. Does this require DU00, and if not, will previous cars be uncorked like most 75Ds?
2. Can 90D owners benefit to any degree?

Ridiculous they can’t uncork a 90D. Looks like we are the ones that lost out could have waited about 1 more week and gotten a 100D!
Your car is essentially already uncorked. One person was getting 3.8 0-60's in his 90D (someone can probably do better). Regardless of what the API says, that's definitely not very corked. The 100D and 85D also can't be uncorked, from my understanding, although I'm not sure about this part. If they can, the performance difference is very small.

I don't know if this applies to all S100D or just the newer ones.
It would be really good if Tesla gives some official communication rather than having us rely on rumors to figure things out.

If you use iOS Powertools or Android dashboard for Tesla, we would love a raw quarter mile runlog, something that shows the deceleration caused by the amperage limits at high speeds.
I haven't gotten .44 for my 75D either. I left it home for the day and am waking it up periodically hoping it gets the hint.
Extra Bonus Points for you if you do a second quarter mile run in chill mode.
Might take ten minutes in chill mode. Grin. In all seriousness though it is really helpful to know which of the three levers get pulled and when. We only clearly see the amperage limits in quarter mile runs. My guess is that only the torque and power limits are different in chill and that performance looks the same, shifted by a two seconds, from seven seconds on.
So. Funny thing. I did one quick run on my way home. 55 degrees out. 70%ish battery. 17 miles driven before I did my 0 to 60 using Dashboard. Result was 4.251.. So. I'm curious if the .44 update holds the high 3 second performance bump.
Also. I'm limited to 85 mph. Why I just found this out after 1700 miles is beyond me lol. Gotta call the sc tomorrow to lift this.
