Oh please do! :biggrin:
Or at least, confirm that there are other parts included in the total (and their cost)?

Unless you signed an NDA, no reason you can't. Only reason Tesla might not want it released is as a business secret, but if they showed it to you with no NDA then it probably isn't (unless they did for you specially since you were the first one).
Nothing about the costs of parts, just a lot more narrative about what was done and various tests that were run.

West Palm Service Center is guessing the start of the year........
Man, I really had the impression it would be January 2016 but you just burst my bubble

For what it is worth I was at the Palo Alto service center yesterday getting the seatbelt check done and asked about the timing of the upgrade there. While they couldn't confirm when it would be available they did say they had two techs at the factory currently for 2 days getting trained and that there were techs from all of the Bay Area service centers getting trained this week so I assume this will be starting "soon" outside of just the factory.
Factory is still close for me so still may go there anyway now the performance specs seems to justify parting with $5k.

Use an electric tool-engraving pen to put your name or id number on the items of interest...

Was this in an email from Tesla? If so, can you ask permission to share it? I'd love to see the exact phrasing.

My P85D/Insane never shows a countdown for Max Battery Power. Just "Progressing..." or something like that.
I'm not sure that's the right way to think about it.
If you were planning to buy a new 70D and Tesla called you to say "we have a used 85 kWh pack that will give you essentially 80kWh rather than 70kWh, would you like that option instead of a new 70kWh pack?" would you take it? Knowing what I think I know about Tesla degradation, I'd definitely take them up on the offer if the warranty remained in place.

I interpret that to mean Tesla removed his High Voltage Battery and upgraded it to version 1.5 at the "remanufacturing center" (and then put the same battery back in the car). I think this is consistent with other information and rumors that all of the initial upgrades are happening at the factory and Tesla hasn't yet decided if they will allow the modification to happen at certain Service Centers or will have all batteries shipped back to California to have the upgrade performed.

My P85D also just said preparing. After the ludicrous upgrade and firmware update that came at the same time, it started to tell me how many minutes it would be until it was ready.
