I’m gonna be so mad/sad if my April 2017 S75 (non-D) doesn’t get it too!

I hope you do but it is my understanding that the RWD units require new DUs. Maybe not.
Love this news. I know it goes without saying, but can you imagine another car company pulling this off?
"Hi Mr. Smith, this is Jerry calling from Lexus of Orange County", we'd like to inform you that we will be adding 100 horsepower to your car and also modify the car so you can sleep in the back of your car while camping."
In your example, the Lexus would just kill the owners even faster. Luckily Tesla only sells EVs.
I would have spent the extra $5k if I knew the D would get the performance upgrade over the RWD. I have a service appointment scheduled for Tuesday, so I'll ask about it then.

Good to hear.
No email yet (but fingers crossed!) for my S75D, nee S60D, from a Jan 2017 build. VIN range is 178k FWIW.
Because of the carbon monoxide yes? Or because of the new L-finesse designs?
CO, yes. I don't know about non-EVs. They all suck to me (er, blow I suppose).

75D face lift. 145 VIN. Letter received a few days ago that it was not available to me "at this time" due to hardware. Keeping my fingers firmly crossed and would most definitely appreciate anyone getting the update notification to post details. Hoping I'm not moping around saying "say it ain't so Joe"

I have a 157xxx VIN for my Model S75D that was delivered about a year ago. Will that be uncorked?
Shhh maybe 60D is included without having to upgrade, but I would also spend the $ if included a 1+ second 0-60 upgrade.
I wonder the same thing... I wish they offered a sub-4 second 100D variant. Would also offer greater separation between the Model S and Model 3.
I am bringing my car in for them to replace the FWD once the door gets here. This is the 5th repair on the same issue I've been having. I have direct line to the SC manager so I'll ask him about the 60D uncork. If he says only 75D then I'll ask if I can unlock the 75kWh upgrade to get it. Hopefully either yes on 60D or yes on unlocked 75 and not a straight "No you need AP2!".
I love this! I have a 75D that I bought as an inventory car in late December 2016, hopeful it qualifies!
I, too, hope this goes for M60D's too... They are technically, in essence, a 75D ofcourse so I don't see why not but I understand commercially they would possibly require people to upgrade to 75D first... Mine was delivered in March 2017 though, manufactured somewhere in january I thin (VIN 1885xx), so not sure if it qualifies anyway....

A general uncorking is highly unlikely I'd say.
I talked to our local SC manager yesterday. He said that it has to do with a specific part (battery connector?) that has previously been sourced from another supplier and is now being manufactured in the Gigafactory. Although it's technically possible to uncork any of the previous cars, they will not do it because they do not want to take any chances due to that sourced part. That must also be the reason for the one guy being notified that they are going to void his battery warranty if he keeps uncorking his Tesla himself.
