I would say no. But I would say the 75D is faster than your 85D now. Your 85D has not changed and it is just as fast as it always was, so it is not slower. However, the 75D if faster than it once was; it has changed.

I stand corrected...I think. But when I look at CPO 85 and 85D models on Tesla website, the 0-60 time is listed at 5.4 sec. The P85 are at 4.2. So I’m a little confused about the over the air update you describe.

The 85D/P85/P85+ and 75D have identical performance specifications of 4.2 seconds for 0-60mph. The 85 (RWD) is slower at 5.4 sec

First, my comment was about S85D, not S85 - only the "D", a.k.a. dual-motor or all-wheel-drive performance was upgraded. The CPO lists 5.4s for 85D's probably because that is the spec which the car was originally sold. Whether there is some legal obligation to quote the original spec, or is it just that nobody cares to manually override their database, I don't know. Some historical references to threads with more information:
- Thread from back in 2015 when the "uncorking" of 85D happened (it was not called uncorking then) : Upgraded 85D?
- Thread from a person who retested his 85D earlier this year: Actual 0-60 performance of the S85D?

80 in some places. More importantly, supercharger spacing doesn't support much higher speeds at this time in the USA (if you cruise at 120mph you typically won't make the next supercharger).Not really relevant in the US with 65/75 mph speed limits

Probably will make it to next jail cell though.
Maybe they will charge at the impound lot for you.

Most S75 RWD's are also slower since they are not uncorkable. Only the most recent S75's produced shortly before they were discontinued are 4.2s.The 85D/P85/P85+ and 75D have identical performance specifications of 4.2 seconds for 0-60mph. The 85 (RWD) is slower at 5.4 sec

Neither of the first 2 are true. I have had it confirmed by Tesla that there is circa 10kWh of batteries which are not used. Therefore, no benefit here.
I doubt it with the 3rd one, otherwise there would be uproar around why I got it, but the guy who ordered at the same time and paid the same price hasn't!
sounds wrong about the first 2( I have heard very incorrect confirmations in person plenty of times, many just say what they think or have heard) ...if there was a group of 10kWhr of batteries that were not used they would 'go bad' when they became fully discharged

I think what Tesla told you is that ~10KWh of battery capacity is unused. It would make absolutely no sense to ship an 85KWh battery with batteries removed from use - for one it would require a new design or battery (85 is actually an old design). Two, it would render those batteries dead after few months (completely discharged lithium batteries die) - so why carry the extra weight? Third, look at your battery sticker, if it says "400V" then all cells are connected, 60 or 75 battery has 350V. You can also check that at the supercharger or ChaDeMo. Fourth, you can also check by charging to 100% and
a) is the charging speed down to sum 10KW ~99%? an actual 75 will
b) if you are at 100% SoC, does your regen work? If so, there is still room in the pack. If you were to charge on top of a hill, then roll down with regen, your battery will show 100% but you will actually have more than 100% (of your software 75 limit) in the battery. Some folks with sw limited 60 did that experiment - when that happens, the battery just shows 100% until it falls under the sw limit.

We are talking about the 4.2 sec 75D, not the 75 with the 4.3 sec performance spec

I was adding to your original comment that 85D's are faster and 85 RWD are slower - just mentioning that same holds true for 75/75D - 75D's are faster and most 75 RWD are slower.We are talking about the 4.2 sec 75D, not the 75 with the 4.3 sec performance spec
