Did anyone "enable" after delivery for $1900. Is this just a software limit, I assume it is by the word "enable".

Not on the X it isn't. You're thinking of the S.That is the dual charger option. You have to have actual hardware installed to get the upgrade.

I did order 72 amp on MX
If that is correct, that seems like an odd thing to do.That used to be the old charger. There was either a single or a dual charger option. Now there is only one charger both in the Model S and X that is software limited to 48 amp and can be 'upgraded' to 72 Amp if you pay. There is no different hardware and any installation. It's just a software limitation.

Some might point to the AP option for an analogy, but I don't see that the same way. With AP there are significant and ongoing costs for software development that need to be paid for. So while every car currently being produced has AP hardware, if you want AP functionality in your car you have to pay the option cost, in essence "turning on" software that is in the car, but software that has a lot of cost for Tesla.
If the current onboard AC charger hardware can do either 48A or 72A then the software is present to handle either of those settings and that software development is done, no ongoing costs.
So why is Tesla doing that way? Or is there really a hardware difference?
That seems like an odd thing for Tesla to do, but based on the fact that the configuration page clearly states that the 72A capability can be "enabled" later for an additional charge I don't see how there can be a hardware difference.That used to be the old charger.

But apparently not an OTA software change.My car was ordered with 72amp charger but they delivered it with only the 48 I went to the service center and they plugged in a laptop and flipped a setting to allow the 72amp charging.
I can confirm its a software change, not a hardware one.

And I was informed that on the Model S, it's a hardware change. Plenty cause for confusion!My car was ordered with 72amp charger but they delivered it with only the 48 I went to the service center and they plugged in a laptop and flipped a setting to allow the 72amp charging.

Is this something we should just ask about at deliver? I live 3 hours away from service center and ordered 72AMPI can't say for sure on that, at the time it seemed all refreshed cars that ordered the 72 amp were delivered with 48. There was a thread where we all shared our info and one person claims they got the fix pushed over the air. I think they where a few hours away from a service center so they were very thankful. I didn't try contacting technical support phone number at the time to ask.

Back when we initially had this discussion, one user guessed that the heat strain on the charger at 72A might increase the odds of failure, and that the uncharge was intended to pay for the warranty claims. That seems like a bad business model, but it was the only remotely plausible reason I saw posted.So why is Tesla doing it that way?
Thanks. I find that possible explanation to be not plausible. I think there is a reason, we just can't figure it out because we lack the necessary information.Back when we initially had this discussion, one user guessed that the heat strain on the charger at 72A might increase the odds of failure, and that the uncharge was intended to pay for the warranty claims.
