I have a 2017 Model S 75 (RWD), built in 9/2017, uncorked. Last week, the navigation stopped working with an error message, and roadside service call told me to take it in to the Service Center.
Got the car back yesterday, with maps reloaded and problem fixed, and what I totally didn't expect is that the throttle mapping had changed and the car is even faster now. Not as noticeable at the super low end, but in throttle roll-on from 20MPH+ and even 50MPH+, the power has noticeably increased and it pulls much harder. I'm assuming that the electric power from the battery to motors has been increased.
Maybe this is related to the software changes in the new range extension? I don't have wifi where I park, so they may have installed the new SW update. Anyway, this is all seat of the pants, but after driving this car for 2.5 years, I was super surprised to feel it get noticeably faster after this service. Cool!
