My 2016 Tesla Model S 75D story - purchased June 2019
- Thread starter SilverGS
- Start date
First warranty repair - Oct. 1, 2019 - Just had my first warranty work done on my 2016 75D
Front left and right Air Spring modules replaced (rattle noise was coming from the front of the car)
The service experience was awesome. I dropped the car off yesterday and got a 2015 P85D loaner ( Just drove a loaner 2015 P85D (L?) today ..... OMG......... ) and it was ready this morning.

Thanks Michael! "Hard core photography hobbyist here"
I mainly shoot landscapes and some architecture. I add the S to some of my landscapes when it makes sense. Not trying to advertise my Instagram account, but if you're bored and want to see some more, I will happily share my account ID.

Sure! Please do.Thanks Michael! "Hard core photography hobbyist here"
When I bought my car last year, I specifically asked that the car be uncorked before I picked it up. The sales rep confirmed that it would be uncorked before I picked it up.
I picked up my car 10 days after the deposit and of course there was no easy way to confirm it was actually uncorked (as you need to find an empty road, have the battery at the optimal temperature, state of charge, buy a device such as a "dragy" to accurately measure the acceleration, etc.)
Needless to say I looked at other options - such as a specific OBD2 dongle that works with Tesla's and an app such as Scan My Tesla that can then read the max power of the car etc.
So I decided to schedule a service request through the Tesla app and ask Tesla to perform the Uncorking procedure. After my service appointment was confirmed, I got a text message saying that my car is qualified for the Uncorking procedure and it will be performed by a ranger at my house. By this time I was beyond ecstatic! 362 HP increases by 80 HP to 442 HP! The torque increase is even more significant and the 0-60 time drops from 5.2 to 4.2 seconds.
I sent back another text asking them to confirm that the car had not been Uncorked in the past (when I bought the car I was told it would be Uncorked and when I picked up the car, the person handling the delivery said it was) and I just got a response back that the car has not been uncorked yet. Strangely enough I was not in the least bit upset as I was very happy in my ignorance thinking the car was uncorked since I got it as its pretty fast already.
I am beyond ecstatic that my car is going to get this upgrade (appointment is scheduled for tomorrow morning) - I feel like I'm getting a new car!

Have you collected any data on your "corked" 0-60 runs (time, max Kw, etc)? Something to compare before and after?
