Official "ludicrous speed upgrade for existing P85D" installation tracking thread

[andrewket]

I'm on the list at Rockville, MD. I contacted them the day of the announcement and I'm 3rd or 4th on the list (poc didn't have the exact number). No other info available.

Am on the list at Burlingame, CA. Hoping to get both L and LTE at the same time.

LTE depends on price for me. I can always use my phone as a hotspot (which I've done). It makes a difference. Far less latency.

I am number 10 in Van Nuys,CA. Hopefully they will get the parts before the 6 months expiration period runs out.

Let's use this thread just for discussing and tracking waitlists, scheduling, installation, pricing, and logistics of the Ludicrous Speed Upgrade/Retrofit for Existing P85D cars. I think there are plenty of other threads discussing pros/cons, technical, value, misrepresentation, game changing, "where's autopilot?", etc., so let's just focus on the details for those who are going to get the upgrade.

I'll start. Added to Rocklin SC waitlist yesterday. They truly have no details other than what's on the blog post.

What timeframe and cost did Rocklin give you?

I don't think the 6-month window would matter as long as a current owner gets on the list within that time period. Tesla may take their time to actually schedule and do the upgrade.

What timeframe and cost did Rocklin give you?

They had zero info. Just added me to list.

 

[kirkbauer]

I called and left a message, they called me back and said they'd get back to me, so I'm not even sure if I'm actually on a list at my service center.

A tiny bit of info. Tesla Rocklin says the price for ludicrous and 90kwh battery upgrade is $22,000. No info on labor though.

....and battery? That means they don't plan to recycle the one that comes out but rather test it, certify it, and then use it as a warrant replacement or loaner. i.e. they're giving a substantial credit for the battery. I wonder if they'd prorate it based on miles?

Also, if the contactors and fuse are in the battery, wouldn't it save on labor to have them swap out the entire thing as a unit? You'd be good to go in an hour and would only pay labor for swapping + whatever upgrade cost to the 90L battery is.

That would be cool to pull into Fremont swap the battery and get the upgrade before I finish my coffee. That seems like a good plan.

Is there an LTE upgrade officially announced?

 

[commasign]

Bump. Anyone been able to schedule an appointment yet?

Is there an LTE upgrade officially announced?

Yes. Though I haven't been able to schedule an appointment for that either.

Is there an LTE upgrade officially announced?

Not in Europe. Just tried to schedule.

 

[LetsGoFast]

Tyco Road doesn't even admit to having a sorted list and says they have no idea when they will start doing them (as of last Tuesday). I haven't asked them to do the LTE yet.

I know of 5 owners that have scheduled and confirmed times in Denmark, all between Sept. 16th and Oct. 24th.

For ludicrous? If yes, at what cost?

 

[Fezzik]

Anyone have any more news on this?

 

[wk057]

I figure it's worth pointing out that it's been nearly a month since the Ludicrous mode update/retrofit for P85D owners was announced and none of the service centers I've spoken with have any idea about when/how/etc on it. They have no procedure, no parts, nothing related to updating existing P85Ds. No labor costs, no 85->90 pack swap costs, nothing at all. Anyone heard anything different?

Considering the original info gives us 6 months to do the update we've already lost 16% of that time because Tesla, as usual, seems to have no idea what they're doing internally.

I was told the "6 months" period starts counting from the day the SCs become ready to perform the upgrade, not from the announcement date.
