Yes just contact your SC to verify if your car is eligible (should be). Costa Mesa service center?
Took delivery of our 60D in September 2016. Emailed Tesla (via MyTesla) and my local SC. Both told me that once I upgrade to 75, it can be "uncorked" like the other 75Ds.
It's all software, but you do need to bring it in as there's some settings the Tech would need to change in-person.

Uncorking is serial number dependent. If your serial number is on the service centers list you are eligible. You must take it into the Service Center so they can plug it into a device to enable the extra performance.
Tesla has not published exactly what build configurations are eligible, so the only way to make sure is to give them a call.
There is no charge currently for this upgrade, and most consider it a very nice gesture on Tesla's part.

So far AP1's have been uncorked, lowest VIN I saw was 8XXX. AP2's have been uncorked. I've seen builds in Dec 2016 through Jun 2017. The only ones that I have seen been told are not eligible are the MX 60D's - which become eligible after upgrading. There were a sprinkling of people who claimed they were not eligible, but it turned out these people took delivery after July 2017 so they already had the performance upgrade.

Thanks for clarifying. I have a 60d, built dec 2016, and my SC told me I was not eligible... only builds after July 2017, which doesn’t make sense since all builds after July have the performance increase already. I haven’t decided whether the $4500 is worth it to get access to the whole battery and performance increase. In Southern California, the 60kw battery is enough so far.

As far as I know. The 75Ds get the same speeds as the 90Ds. So there wouldn’t be anywhere else to go with a 90D.
They’re correct. As a 60D you wouldn’t be eligible, but you become eligible with the upgrade. Not sure why they thought July cars only though. It’s still a good chunk of money, especially for the X instead of the S. The range is meh, not much of a difference. The performance is though.
So my buddy can buy this one and get it uncorked for free?

As many people have said you have to contact Tesla to confirm. No one here can see with 100% certainty if it can be.

For my Dad, uncorking was free on his 75D when he paid for the annual service interval which cost $500. The difference in the feel of the acceleration and responsiveness is substantial!
