Is your sig out of date or was this a truly ludicrous upgrade ? :tongue:
I'm up next week, wait sucks but at least I know I'm not the first.

If I remember correctly, they taxed me on about $30 worth of parts, so the total was something like $5,003.

I called the Torrance CA SC today to ask about any scheduling since I have not heard anything, and I made a deposit the day the website offered the upgrade. They said parts were to be delivered on 17 March and since we were talking they would be glad to schedule me. Unlike me, they were not surprised by the coincidence. I said I did not think I wanted to be first, although their "shop foreman" had been trained, and that I would call back on the 18th to schedule an appt.
I called back about 10 min later, and understand I'll be their first on the 18th.

I understand your hesitation, but you'll be fine! I should be so lucky.
I contacted my SC in Cincinnati and was told they are (slowly?) working their way through the upgrades, they are on the 4th one or so and I am #9 on the list (didn't commit until 1/1/16).
So, patiently waiting......
$500. Then nothing apparently because of the communication vacuum. I'll start calculating the opportunity cost on the $500 soon.
*edit: without this thread giving me some sort of info I would've either forgotten that I paid $500 or given up by now. So.. Thank you fellow upgraders for keeping us interested.

I had the pleasure of driving a 2015 Model S P90DL over the weekend. That ludicrous just keeps accelerating until you chicken out, constant g's
Took us from full stop standstill to 90 in about 5 seconds.

Just dropped off the car at the Dania Beach SC. They said 2-3 days depending upon how busy they end up being throughout the day. They also said I was the 4th or 5th upgrade they have done, they schedule them as the parts arrive for each vehicle.

So I'm in at the Torrance CA SC; they first said one day, when I dropped the car it had become 2 days. Maybe because this is the first upgrade at this SC. Don't know if that's expectation management, or real, but they did get started today as I can no longer connect to the car. Interestingly the shop foreman had no upgrade specific training, nor were techs brought in from elsewhere; he said the upgrade is now a "service bulletin".

That seems a bit scary. I expect it'll be OK, but I imagine that had to make you nervous. It is impressive that they would share that with you!

Another successful upgrade completed by Bellevue (WA) Service Center. Took 2 days / 1 night. Since the car battery work was not completed by night, it helped to have the dual chargers to get the car charged quicker for the SC test drive before they can release the car.
