Sadly no news for our UK/EU cars.
No reasonable answer as to why either, just the usual BS/party line about eligibility
I don't know what else I can do other than pester Gatwick SC and Tesla escalations.
It is a real pity and I feel let down. However it is Tesla HQs gift to offer it and we are just the unfavoured children not invited to play
I have a small but dwindling hope that HQ will come back to us...
Nice to see the unlocking has started to happen
Now need to book in for something.....
By arrangement with the excellent Gatwick SC I took my Dec ‘16 VIN 171XXX in to see if it was uncorkable. It was, and has been and OMG the difference is palpable. It wasn’t slow before but now it is extremely quick indeed. I can only imagine what the P100D feels like.
Trying to make sense of the last few weeks since Tesla announced, seemingly only to the Press, that older 75D’s were uncorkable, the only conclusion I can reach is that they just didn’t expect owners to be queuing up for the upgrade on the way that they/we have.
The VIN database is not at all conclusive and if you get a ‘not eligible’ but are a facelift 60D/75D there is a very good chance you are eligible. The only way to be sure is the visit the SC and they do a quick diagnostic test. This will, at least for Gatwick SC and I imagine all others, now be a routine part of the annual service so no need to make a special trip. Yeah right!
I believe the diagnostic test is this, as reported on TMC a number of times:
“PT_BMS_ISENSORPROTOCOLNUMBER has to be greater than 3, in CarLogs.“ Battery pack configuration was about as technical as I could get.
Once this is established the update takes about 90 mins and is software and settings, no hardware (as long suspected).
If you use TeslaFi in the raw data files under ‘performance config’ corked is P3, as mine was until 9.07 this morning. Uncorked is P1 which mine now is.
I asked about the 60D’s and certainly Gatwick’s view is take it in and they will run the diagnostic to double check you are uncorkable before you shell out for the range upgrade.
I do think Tesla could have handled this terrific free upgrade with much better PR and communications, but it is what it is.
Hope this is of help
Thanks for the update - great news for you! And hope for the rest of us!
My service happens to be booked in for next Thursday so I will wait until then.
Out of interest, did they confirm you were 'eligible' over the phone (e.g. did their WARP list get updated) or did they just say 'come in and we'll run the diagnostics to find out whether you are eligible'?
When I phoned my SC this morning it was the same - ineligible. My car is only one month older than yours.

I do think Tesla could have handled this
In some of the press it is coming across as part of the next “chill” update.... any views on this??
I wonder what the chill setting will be like on the original S40s still around?Nothing to do with the “chill” settings. That’s just part of a software update that’s going to all cars.
Just had the email I am now confirmed for uncorking Nice work DJP31and TEH75D for pushing on this here in the UK...
I wrote to them last night following your post and got an email back this AM saying they had checked with an engineer and that I was eligible... read into that what you will... in next Thursday for its boost@mj88 thats excellent news! Did they confirm after having physically looked at the car, or by checking your car against the so called “eligible list”? If it’s the latter that’s a break thorough.

I’m coming to the view that they made the announcement about the older 75D performance improvements 1. Before telling the staff and 2. Before updating the VIN list to show pre July 17 cars as eligible.
