Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

[Johan]

That's why I initially thought it as a joke...

One simply does not joke about these things on the Tesla Motors Club forum

Makes sense as a natural upgrade. I wonder if the current image files for Model S cars include 100kWh battery support. Also, I wonder if there will be a 100D non-P battery, or if the 100kWh will be exclusive to the performance models (somehow I doubt that though)

Pure speculation:
I think that Tesla are likely to go for 80-85kWh and 100kWh as the new models in the lineup, and the 3 will have 70kWh base and 80-85kWh upgraded packs, this all using 20700 gigafactory cells.

Bad @llavalle, bad @llavalle!

When will the press get word of the P100D?

CrackStation - Online Password Hash Cracking - MD5, SHA1, Linux, Rainbow Tables, etc.

And this is why you salt before hashing.

Give it 12 hours. A link to this thread was already posted on FB, so it's just a matter of time.

Pressers also pick up straight from here. It's happened before.

I found my way back here from the FB post... Been holding off upgrading my P85+. Waiting for the next next thing. I imagine they don't want to announce anything new until after the "3" event....

Okay, I'm not afraid to admit it.

Someone please explain this in plain (non-electrical engineering nerd, reverse hash, blah etc... terms)! :biggrin:

What tweet? Which Facebook page? Links?

Jason (@wk057) has hacked his Tesla such that he can monitor firmware updates and actually visualize the code within before/after updates are sent to the car. Tesla sometimes embeds "dormant" code that could be used in the future. In this case, it seems he's discovered code referring to a "P100D", a configuration which of course doesn't exist yet.

He simply encoded the text "P100D" in a SHA-256 (type of encryption) hash and posted it on Twitter for the world to discover.

 

[pgiralt]

Now for the speculation... what will the capacity of the P100D *really* be? 93kWh? 95kWh?

 

[AWDtsla]

Can't hardly wait for that 92kWh :wink:

[FredLambert]

you guys were asking for it

 

[darthy001]

Now a battery upgrade might start to get interesting if price is right

wk057 for president!

 

[larmor]

No surprise, since EM had also advised that people with 85's to not upgrade, at the time of the 90 introduction. Plus there is a pathway to increasing battery capacity per yer.

I'm gng to the mercedes (insert other car manuf) and see if they can upgrade my car's engine-gas tank...

 

[wk057]

You guys are great. I knew I should have added more words to that hash.

 

[larmor]

How about upgraded AP sensors?

You guys are great. I knew I should have added more words to that hash.

I wonder if a pack can be upgraded just by taking it apart and replacing the existing cells with higher energy density cells?
