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.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.
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.
Du you have your option codes list readily available?I just took delivery last week. It was a september build. Does this mean its already uncorked? Or do I still qualify?
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.

Good to hear.
No email yet (but fingers crossed!) for my S75D, nee S60D, from a Jan 2017 build. VIN range is 178k FWIW.
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....My 75D was made 11/16...
I do not. Its a 75D built in September tho. Only thing missing is premium upgrades and FSDDu you have your option codes list readily available?
I got mine today, 2017 January build
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!

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.
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.
