I thought that that was the case; that none of the prior ones were eligible.
Actually, all P90DL's were eligible - for those who were yet to take delivery the price was 10k and 20k for the rest.
Tesla.com said:Tesla customers who have ordered a P90D Ludicrous, but not taken delivery, can upgrade to the 100 kWh pack for $10,000. Existing P90D Ludicrous owners can also upgrade to a 100 kWh pack, but for $20,000, as their used 90 kWh pack will have to be recycled.
Which is basically misleading in itself, though, because nobody got a P100D upgrade prior to taking delivery - they were to be updated later as well, which would mean recycling the 90 kWh pack anyway...
Frankly, it is hard to not think some misconduct surely exists by now. If not back then, by now Tesla should have come clean and communicated about this many times already for those affected - and the decision not to do so, feels like it may not have been with the best of motivations.
At the very least this is a case of Tesla should have known better by now. But it also seems likely they are silent by choice and that's no good. The silence is deafening.
Also, looking at that quote after the fact, it does seem hard to believe Tesla really thought they could replace (not recycle) all upgrading 90 kWh packs - and then turns out they upgrade none before delivery... It seems misleading and it is hard to shake the notion that it was misleading by choice.
