I didn't think they lowered the price to upgrade as much as they raised the price of the 60 by $2k (that effectively lowered the price of the upgrade to $7k from $9K). To TSLA it was six of one, half dozen of the other...
Locally you will never see the difference between 60 vs 75
For road trips, if you plan your trip on ev-tripplanner put in your trip from an S75D vs S60D the time savings on most road trip is tiny. I'm getting 1.5 hour savings over 30+ hours driving. Less during warmer months. So it depends on how much winter road trips you plan over the life of the vehicle and what your time is worth to you. If that time is worth more than $7000, then upgrade.
Interesting that no one has said they DID upgrade from a 60 to 75. Wonder if the upgrade rate is near zero. It suggests the upgrade fee is overpriced for the value received. I bet they would have many more takers at $4K.

Evtripplanner doesn't account for better taper supercharge time. On the three times I've Supercharged, I can fill up in 50 minutes. It overestimates charging times to be 1.5-2 hours if you are 10% battery upon reaching the SC. Unless your SC is <50kw avg, you will be fine to charge in 1 hour, usually less.
75 will see same charge times. You won't be able to skip a SC unless you spend a lot of time in taper at the last SC. Its a 1 time 40 mile boost (assuming you charge to 100% upon leaving house).
Hi all,
I have a refreshed 60 kWh Model S, and was thinking of possibly taking the jump to update to the 75 kWh. I've read some threads saying that the 60 kWh configuration (actually 62 kWh usable) is a great value while the 75, not so much. $7k is a hefty price tag though for < 40 miles of range.
While not exactly your situation, I went for the lowest battery size available at the time I purchased (70). I have never missed range or acceleration. I wish I could get 60, and save even more $.
I don't think Tesla was not selling 60s. On the contrary, people buying 60s were most likely not upgrading to 75, because, you just don't need it! And Tesla was basically selling larger battery for lower price.
IMO what Tesla should do, is to amortize the upgrade cost to 8 years, i.e. if you upgrade after 2 years, it doesn't cost you 100% of what it would have cost you on day #1. This way, Tesla will unlock some value, and some owners, after a year or two, may actually decide to upgrade.
For now, once you get used to/comfortable with 60's range and driving patterns, you realize, that you don't really need to spend that much more for basically not much.
Simple solution, I debadged my 60D. It looks better IMO, now people can simply admire the beauty of the car, and not have to focus on how much I paid for it.If I had to guess, I'd say that the #1 reason to get a 75 (or upgrade to a 75) vs. a 60 is to not have the little "60" plate on the car showing that you went for the lowest end model. Pure speculation, of course.
As a 60D owner, "issa no from me dawg".Hi all,
I have a refreshed 60 kWh Model S, and was thinking of possibly taking the jump to update to the 75 kWh. I've read some threads saying that the 60 kWh configuration (actually 62 kWh usable) is a great value while the 75, not so much. I also really appreciate the lack of significant taper to 100% at SCs. However, I've had a couple instances, especially in cold weather in the Northeast US, where I wished I had some additional range. $7k is a hefty price tag though for < 40 miles of range.
So, bottom line, for those that made the switch, are you glad you made it? Thanks.
Amen, it's really 75D owners that should be embarrassed. If they weren't going for the best value why not pony up for the big dog P models.I'm proud of being smart enough to take advantage of a good deal. I'll sport the 60D with pride.
I think the best Tesla deal yet was the 60D pre nov 2k price hike, and it had the free supercharging and AP2 avail! You guys with that config and that purchase timing are sitting pretty sweet right now! I have a 75D, we purchased it during that one week inventory fire sale back in oct 2016 for 7k off, otherwise I would have gotten the 60D. And happily charged it to 100% daily. I don't think hardly anyone is doing the range upgrade. Too much cost $, also it makes even less sense with the 90-100D cost of 3k.
I want to do this but I am going to be leasing the car. Do you guys think this is a bad idea or should I just put it on again after three years when I am returning it?Simple solution, I debadged my 60D.
