Since all discussions about what's going to happen to RWD 75 vehicles have been mixed into threads about uncorking 75Ds, let's finally have our own thread for RWD 75 owners.
The info so far:
In hope to see a comment about an authorized successful RWD 75 uncorking here soon.
The info so far:
- almost all 75D are eligible for uncorking at no additional costs simply by software
- no RWD 75 is eligible for uncorking (RWD 75 produced after July 1, 2017 already have the performance upgrade)
- Tesla claims it has to to do with a difference in hardware, first guess was it has to do with the battery contactors and/or fuse, but that would require different part numbers for 75D and RWD 75 batteries, which obviously wasn't the case (with the rare exception of BTX8 they all have BTX5, which covers software-limited 60 and 70 models as well), second guess was the wiring harness, which would be the most plausible explanation
- it has already been proven that a RWD 75 technically can be uncorked simply by software by someone who manually did it himself, but Tesla reversed the uncorking for his vehicle and notified that person that if he keeps doing it they are going to void his battery warranty (which may either hint to mentioned hardware difference or simply to company policy)
In hope to see a comment about an authorized successful RWD 75 uncorking here soon.
