I think my car is fast enough the way it is, but I'm not too happy about what this might do to my cars resale value if I decide to trade it in for a Model 3.

Hate to break it to you, but you have no chance of not being upset if you decide to trade in your car with Tesla.
This actually sounds right. Does anyone know the VIN range where they switched all cars/packs over to the new incolnel contactors?

You give me way too much credit. In looking it up though it appears that incolnel contactors got introduced in July 2015 for the 90D along with the pyro\software fuse. This setup was the first to be rated at 1300A, which I understand is the max current setting for uncorked. Even though we don't get there on 0-60, one would hit the 1300A current limit on the quarter mile. It is also the 1500W and higher current part as well. I think Jalopnik first reported on this.
The contactors are inside the battery pack right? That would be considerably more expensive to retrofit on the RWD if they didn't originally get it than just the fuse. Do they open the battery packs at the regional service centers? The pack electronics upgrade was originally $5,000 USD plus labor.

So do you have any thoughts on what the limiting factors may be for uncorking? My 75D was made 11/16, so I don't have the DU00 drive units. I don't know about contactors.
I think your car will get uncorked easily just like all the other AWDs. I am unclear as to why the FWDs didn't get the supposed fuse. It can't be the contactor since the battery part numbers are the same for AWD and RWD.

I do not. Its a 75D built in September tho. Only thing missing is premium upgrades and FSD
Quite a bit of interest in the UK on this subject. Mine’s a 75D late December build, VIN 171XXX. Service centre were difficult to pin down when I contacted them a couple of months ago about this.
Can you share whether yours was done over the air or did you have to visit the Service Centre? Appreciate your input.

DU01 drive unit on a S75 RWD Sept build supposed to be uncorked and 4.3 seconds 0-60? Is it because of a larger motor than previous gen RWD cars?
Reporting back. Got my 75D back from SC yest and thought it was faster. Just drove it again this morning and it is definitely faster/uncorked. Don't need to measure with power tools bc I definitely wasn't hitting the back of my seat like that before haha. 189xxx
Good luck to you all!

Congratulations!! Do you know if you have the newer DU00 drive units? What is your manufacture date? Thanks!
I emailed a run log to @Krash im sure he will crunch the numbers and bring back the data, but for 68% soc 1 run 0-60 4.7s
Correct, contactors are inside the packs.
They do indeed do this service at the local service centers. They drop the pack, use a forklift to put it on risers to make it easier to work on, and then just unscrew/peel back the lid for the little part at the end that houses the pack connectors and contactors. It isn’t actually that labor intensive. They’ve been doing this as warranty work for people with failed contactors for a little while now, and everyone now gets the “performance” incolnel contactors.
SC visit, and I didn’t even ask apparently a service bulletin went out Thursday to uncork all eligible cars.
