Post delivery ludicrous upgrade?

[majestyk]

Hey guys,

Quick question: is it possible to purchase the ludicrous upgrade on the S/X performance after delivery?

Thanks!

 

[MX-HH]

Technically possible!

 

[Derek Kessler]

Technically possible, but Tesla only ever offered a post-purchase Ludicrous retrofit for Model S P85D and P90D owners. And that service was cancelled in 2017.

We have got to get it back, I am sitting on a p85d that is now a p90d(new pack) and I really REALLY want DL....figure I will hack it once the warranty is fully up but if someone showed me now how to get it going I would probably also get going. REALLY want it after driving a loaner PDL

 

[MX-HH]

Hmmmm, thought ludicrous on the 100kWh pack was only a software issue?

I thought the motors were different also. Or at least tighter tolerances with burn ins.

I was under the impression that the P100D does have a different rear motor than the 100D and you can upgrade the P100D to Ludicrous with software update after delivery (but not the 100D, as that would require swapping out the rear motor).

 

[MX-HH]

Exactly. P hardware is different to non P.
Ludicrous should be a software issue. But not 100% sure.

You will probably need hardware upgrades as well. I doubt your 90 pack came with L parts installed in it.

In the past there was a hardware difference between the L and non L models.
I do wonder if the same difference is going on in the 100 packs or not.

that would be the fuse I assume?

 

[silentsnow31802]

that would be the fuse I assume?

Yes. I do believe the pack has to be dropped to change out the fuse.

I want to say there was something else but probably just software after that.

 

[obin olson]

so who is down to make this happen?

I was in this situation during the process of looking for an MX P90D. I ended up getting one with Ludicrous from the factory because of Tesla’s unpredictability of when something will be available as an add-on not.

i want it for my p90d but haven't had a chance to ask. I hear upgrading is cancelled, but i'm just hoping

 

[obin olson]

We need to get some nerds on this for aftermarket tuning. for real. screw the warranty I want the power. lol

Nerds: My car is available if you can show me you know what you are doing and can do the work. Prove it and then you will have a line of customers.

 

[petacus]

I believe as long as your MX has the Performance package, you can add Ludicrous to it after the fact.

 

[moot]

Just a software update if you have Performance package. Kind of odd how that works as I'm sure someone could find a loophole if they looked into it

tesla tells me need the fuse in battery....I may have it. got a replacement pack, 90kw, p90d now non L

Hey guys I know this question was asked before, but when I was buying my M/S P100D, the salesperson convinced me to get the LR over the performance. He said I can always upgrade the performance with over the air upgrades (like the model 3 $2000 acceleration boost) . But when I go on Tesla website I don’t see anything like that for the Model S. Does anyone know if Tesla is even coming out with something like that for the M/S? Cause now I’m regretting picking the L/R over the Performance.

“the salesperson convinced me“

That’s the problem right there. They know nothing.
