Anyone else just want to upgrade something for the fun of it?

    This may totally just be me, but with the addition of the upgrades tab to the Tesla app a few months ago I've felt strangely intrigued by it. For my 2017 MX 100D I pre-paid for EAP and FSD so I have all the available upgrades, but I would love to be able to purchase another upgrade from the app just because! Maybe it's because it would mean a new feature, maybe it's because being able to upgrade your car via your phone is insane, or maybe I'm just insane, but does anyone else feel this way?

    On the other hand, I couldn't possibly think of anything that could be added as an upgrade. Some sort of software update? Any ideas!?

    Our X has all the upgrades but we also have a 3, and that acceleration upgrade is always staring us in the face. I feel you! :D

    They could add extended warranty via the upgrade. I bet a lot more people would buy it if it was in front of your nose like that.

    Maybe some sort of battery/range upgrade software, give older 100d a 10% range increase.

    i agree with this. esp some kind of graph showing the cost to buy it ASAP vs later down the road (ie more miles).

    I'm glad it's not just me! Haha!

    Yes for sure! I have no clue how to buy the extended warranty as of now.

    If this could be done with a software update it's a great idea, however they may have maxed out the battery's potential.

    I think Tesla was smart to add this tab :p a subtle reminder to everyone to give them more money

    I wish they would give us a software upgrade for the pre-Ravens to have the amazing regenerative breaking to 0mph of the current Raven. That is If the hardware and the older non-Raven motor in front would allow it.

    I agree about the braking and hold when stopped, 1 pedal driving. Love it in my 3.
    Wish I had it in our older x

    I definitely agree.
    Maybe someone could help clarify this for me...why can autopilot take the car to a complete stop but they can't include 1 pedal driving on pre-raven models? Is there a different system or do we not have enough info?

    I just ordered a 6/17 Model X 100D yesterday. Trading in my 2018 Model 3. Will my MX have 'hold'? Love it on my 3 and will be VERY disappointed if it's not on my X.

    My 2017 MX has hold but not 1 pedal driving.
