Upgraded a couple of months ago. Don't have build date written inside car right now but completed production 3/24/17. Vin 189xxx. MS 60D -> 75D -> uncorked.
I've been bugging corporate and my SC for a couple of months. Had car in for mcu border discoloration from Wednesday to Friday last week. Took a chance and asked them to uncork it. Said some of this story elsewhere btw. Got car back Friday. Forgot to ask if they uncorked and techs didn't mention. Driving home I went to overtake someone and I was wth just happened...that was a lot of speed and power? Did a couple of 0-60s that night and next morning. Was 99% sure it was uncorked bc of the feeling, increased whizzing sound of front motor, felt more like a 90D loaner I've used, things flying around in trunk that never used to, etc (didn't measure speed via app). Was completely and happily surprised. Asked SC today and they said yes indeed we uncorked your car.
Ok next time just tell me you hooked it up before I drive!!! Lol. Thank you tesla.

For anyone that has gotten confirmation that their 75D is or is not performance upgradable, can you check what the battery part number is? You can see it from the passenger side front wheel well, at the back of the tire. It will be on a white label on the gray battery pack with the top line "75kWh,350VDC" Below that is the part number like: 1088794-00-A
We may be able to tell without contacting service if the battery is suitable or not, perhaps by the part number. It seems there are two battery types, one upgradable and one not.

Had my car in for something else. Asked to get it uncorked. Did mine. Didn't put it on service notes and didn't tell me lol
Hi,
From Norway here(Europe)
I have a S75D built in May 2017, got confirmation today that I will get this update
Big difference. 75D corked feels like smooth fast acceleration. Uncorked feels like a crazy fun acceleration. You'll see. Report back please? Haha
I can't remem power consumption rn
Updates:
-I asked for further clarification and was told by Burbank that even if I upgraded to a 75D, I would be ineligible and they couldn't elaborate further.
-A while later they said it's only for vehicles after July 2nd....so yeah....that old line.
-I asked another SC and he said of course I am eligible after upgrading to a 75D, so....cool?
Inconsistency in information...(copyright held by Tesla).

This forum is the best!
Just called my SC in Dublin CA. I've got a 75D, built in May 2016, bought it as an inventory car with 400 miles in September 2016, VIN 1435XX.
She said bring it in and we'll uncork it!
First appointment I could get is November 9th. Can't wait!

194xxx. Ordered 60D -> delivered 75D -> uncorked today at Raleigh SC. I just happened to already have an appointment for a couple minor issues. Was told I was the first in the area to get the upgrade, lucky me!

Model S, build date April 24 ‘17. It shipped as 60D to Raleigh and I negotiated the upgrade to 75D before signing.

70D upgraded to 75D a few months back. Uncorked today. So much fun.
I called earlier today and they booked me for the 30ths for my ms 75d and the 6th for my mx75d to upgrade to the latest performance.
At first I was told no, then after having them triple check they said ok to upgrade. Both of my cars are 3/17 and both recently picked up. It is worth mentioning they should have delivered both with the upgraded performance. My OA said Tesla was going to do it regardless to both of my cars.

I'll keep the log post for Krash on the other thread, so one down, two to go:
confirmed initially with my butt-accelerometer, but now quantitatively tested.
Before:
And after:
Confirmed one full second reduction. Now my wife's S has always been faster, her 0-60 is 5.0 (again, she does care...) and it's always been a little bit more fun to drive, just accelerates harder a bit, so it will be interesting to see what I get with hers uncorked tomorrow.

Nothing exciting, just had it rolled into the overall purchase and re-badged prior to pickup, as opposed to paying on tesla.com and bringing it back for a rebadge. Just wanted to be clear it was not a formal order change prior to manufacturing, since it appears some 60D owners are concerned about that.

Hi Reeler,
Our numbers are similar. Mine is VIN 1435xx, 75D, delivered about a year ago also. I just called my service center today and I get it! Hopefully you will too.

I refuse to lose hope… Have any 60D owners successfully called and been told yes they were eligible prior to having upgraded their car to a 75D? If so, can you share your build date as well? Thanks!
