Now that is a catch, "Range Upgrade" on a pre refresh, so odd
Either they're very sloppy with their adverts, confusing 90s with 70s, or there are covert 95/100s slithering around out there among us.

Yes. The SC will update your badge.Speaking of stickers. If you unlock a larger battery after the fact, do you get to bring it in to get a new badge?
70D-->75D; 90D-->100D
Did Tesla do this with the 40-->60 changes?
Because they probably don't want to tick off people who bought prior 90s over the past year (or whenever the 90 was announced).Hey folks - just to play devil's advocate - if the current 90's are actually software limited why would Tesla hide this upgrade for so long instead of telling us right now and unlocking the 100 kwhr potential?
For what it's worth, the configuration on my car says "Range Upgrade - Included". I think with the used and inventory cars they are just saying no range upgrade on the 90s to make it clear because the 90s have only one battery size, and there is an option between 70 and 75 on the lower end.

I doubt the new 90s are software limited. There is no reason to do that and not tell people right away except as an outside possibility the 100 upgrade will be free (the 60-70 upgrade was free, but the 85-90 and 70-75 upgrade cost $3000), and they are trying not to get a lot of complaints from those who bought just before the change. But I think it's highly unlikely.
I did some calculations and I believe the 75 packs have the 3rd generation batteries, but supply might be limited and they currently can only do it for the smaller packs. They may also have a stock of the 2nd generation batteries they need to burn off making 90 packs. When the supply of 3rd generation batteries is sufficient and they run out of 2nd gen batteries, they will switch over the larger pack to 100.
If true, it ticks me off a bit because I pick up my 90D on Monday. I've been hoping it will have a 100 Kwh battery, but I doubt it at this point.

Based on the EPA range estimate of 268 miles plus the "no range upgrade" language this is an 85D.
Interesting...
My P90DL, manufactured in 2/2016 (vin 128xxx) DID come with the range upgrade. My full charge was 270mi when I took delivery.
