I have a 9/16 delivery S60D, VIN 160XXX. I am due for my one year now, so I plan to ask my SC tomorrow. If I have to upgrade to a 75D to get uncorked, then I will definitely do it. Well worth $2k for that type of performance upgrade. Took me far more to improve my previous ICE cars.

I could not agree more with your comment above. Anxious to hear what they tell you. Something tells me I’ll be upgrading to 75 this week and my SC appointment excuse will be for upgraded “badging” in order to get in for my uncorking.
Wonder what this does to 1/4 mile time on 75Ds...

If anyone knows of a way to get his access code for the diagnostic screen without disassembling and rooting the MCU please let me know by PM (though I was already told that there seems to be no other way).
12.87 secs.....uncorked (June purchase!)....but very very cold nite....I expect this number to drop in warmer weather

Teslas internal bulletins to the SCs only concern 75Ds and 100Ds, so your chances seem small

Unfortunately more like none-existent. The service bulletin was from Thursday, I was at the SC on Friday and was given a look at the screen with the vehicle tags. At that point our S 75 was not eligible for uncorking. We have a service appointment in a month, so we'll see if anything is going to change till then.Teslas internal bulletins to the SCs only concern 75Ds and 100Ds, so your chances seem small
Prob 1-1.3 secs slower.....keep in mind the weather was very cold. I would presume a 12.5- 12.7 for an uncorked model in the summer months
yes you will! But not nearly as much as you will notice from 0-70mph.....
Passing from 30-70 is incredible
Really? Speak for yourself. They improved performance on new RWD a couple months ago but now cannot do anything for those of us with slightly older RWD? I don’t believe it and am anything but happy. Increasing AWD performance and leaving RWD in the dust just decreased my resale value.This is HUGE!! Tesla knows how to keep their customers happy

Fully agree! I'm not that hot for more performance, but I am concerned about the resale value that's going to take a hit because of that matter as well.
We need our own "All about RWD 75 uncorking" thread, because this is again intermixing in a thread about 75Ds.
I didn't think any pre June RWD 75s had been uncorked? I figured the new hardware mentioned was the new drive unit fitted to AWD and RWD cars and that the old drive unit in combination with front motor was sufficient in the D. If pre June RWD cars have been uncorked then they must be maxing out that rear motor but who knows with electric motors, I've seen 500w e bike motors pushing 1500w

Not sure the build date is the key here.
Tesla says the only way to determine if your car is eligible is to contact them with your VIN.
Might be other triggers from your individual build that will triggle eligibility.

I so wish for this. I had been so certain that this was foreshadowed by this thread: Performance increase for 100D. 0-100 in 3,3 sek

I know right
I wish all car companies would stop making changes and improvements because resale value.

Are the 100 D‘s really already part of the party and on the existing internal bulletins? I pretty much assume that technicaly a 3.x seconds 0-60 is feasible and just waiting for the right time ...
- when some demand push is needed for the 100D
- Some competition vehicle comes close to the old 4.x performance,
- production capacity of the 100 batteries fits to a demand oush
A separate thread will make sense for the 100D once we have some more evidence - i hope we need it soon

As an owner of a 2017 May build June delivered S75 RWD, VIN 203xxx, I am obviously following all of these threads very closely. I have seen the evolution of our assumptions change over time as more information from owners comes pouring in. Here is a quick summary of what I've seen in the various threads that was thought to be required for the upgrade:
- new drive unit
- BTX8 vs BTX5 battery
- old drive unit combined with front motor (AWD only)
- “performance” incolnel contactors
- pyro\software fuses
- potential wiring harness differences
I will continue to follow these threads because everyone does a great job of keeping each other informed of progress on these topics. Back in July, no one thought they would be offering uncorking to pre July 1 cars and now we know they are not only offering it, but not charging for it. I'm holding out hope for all us S75 RWD owners since nothing that I've seen to date has officially eliminated us from the upgrade.
