RANGE UPGRADE CHANGE? Option to Upgrade 60D to 75D Gone from Tesla.com "Manage" Page

[Jim Holder]

Hi,

I've been closely monitoring the page where one can upgrade from 60D to 75D (i.e. unlock the full capacity of the 60D battery) on the "Manage" my car section on Tesla.com. It has been $2,000 for a long time and tonight the upgrade option disappeared altogether from our page.

1) Any other 60D owners still see the option to upgrade on their "Manage" page?
2) Does this mean the price is changing again downward (or upward ) before the end of the quarter?
3) Other thoughts on this?

Thanks!

All upgrade options have disappeared — I no longer have a FSD upgrade option for my car. Assume it's a temporary bug.

My guess: probably just so busy at quarter end trying to shove whole cars out, upgrades are not a priority and they don't even want to see them coming in, distracting resources / splitting attention on what really matters now.

Someone mentioned in another thread (about ordering FSD) that they spoke to a rep and the rep said the website is just broken & will be fixed shortly.

As a matter of historical context, in 2012 Tesla offered and I ordered a 40 kWh Model S. I waited and waited and waited before Tesla decided not to make a true 40 kWh variant, and instead it had a 60 kWh battery but was software limited to access only 40 kWh. We had the option to upgrade and take off the restriction for 10k, then 11k, then later I was told there was no longer that option at any price. But other people were still able to get it done at varying prices depending on which Service Center they contacted.

Tesla is not good at keeping options around, or being consistent on what they offer in different places at the same time. So maybe your option will come back at the same price or a higher or lower price, or maybe it won't. And if it doesn't maybe if you call around you can get it anyway. The lesson I learned is if you think you might want to take advantage of something Tesla offers, don't wait too long or you may miss out.

Rang Upgrade is back in MANAGE MY TESLA. Still at $2,000 though...
I wonder if it'll ever drop further, or to $0 as small compensation for the missing AP2 (HW2) AEP feature-parity with AP1 as promised in 2016, and we're nearly at 2019...

No. There was a class action lawsuit for which we will eventually receive notice that is your compensation.

Question for anyone with any up-to-date 60 to 75 unlock knowledge.

Looking at a facelift MS 2016 60 battery (made 12/2016) @ a 3rd party dealership, private trade-in. Salesman has no idea about the unlock. Is it something still available and is it still $2k?

 

[Derek Kessler]

If it's a facelift, it is definitely an unlockable 75 battery underneath. I've seen nothing to indicate that Tesla has recently changed to unlock price or availability; almost every instance of TMC panic about the disappearance of such an option has been a passing website glitch and nothing more.

just make it free by now...no more 60's or 75's new being sold..

Tesla is selling previously 75 badged cars as 60kwh range on their site right now. They are also downgrading cars originally purchased with the 85 range upgrade to 65 in our garages while we sleep. If they're no longer offering the upgrade, it might be related to the rash of downgrades going on.

My range upgrade option has been missing for a long time. I guess it's not coming back. Is anyone else pissed about this? I know, I should just be glad I never payed for the bogus upgrade in the first place.

Yes same here also annoyed about this. Shall we try to gather up everyone affected by this?

1. Gather up everyone affected and willing to take part
2. Group tweet to Tesla/Elon at a specified date (expecting no response)
3. Threaten legal action
   
4. Take legal action

Are you aware of how the older cars lost 10-15 miles of range with and "update" and they have capped supercharging rate at 70kw down from 120?

It seems likely the older cars had excessively aggressive battery parameters and they are scaling back, and we can't even get answers on this.

Now you want to sue because they won't let you add range? A LOT of us would just like to have back what we had a year ago.

lol. What exactly do you think Tesla owes you? What is your loss that gives you legal standing for a case?

I want it I want it I want it!

There is legal standing because it was a fundamental feature when the car was sold which was then removed without notice. So at the very least Tesla owes us the feature that they sold us. The resale value of the car is dramatically affected (so there is possibly also grounds for compensation as part of the legal action) depending on 60KW vs 75KW.
