Could be because the VIN or bulletin is only for the US market so far and has not made to other parts of the world yet. I think I’ve seen some others not getting it in U.K.

Wrong, the service bulletin from last Thursday already made it around the globe, and the VIN database is centralized. I'm here in Austria and our local SC already had all the info on last Friday.
VIN180680 here and I won't get it. Another 180xxx here in Sweden got it though.
I don't understand. Why can't I catch a break with this stupid Tesla... Hate my bad luck.

I have an 01/17 built 60D vin 176xxx. The part number on the battery is 1101082-00-A so some are clearly different. There might be something to the part number theory after all. I have yet to check if mine is upgrade-able as they seem to put all 60Ds in the NO category by default unless they are upgraded first. That being said if anyone has the same battery part number and is eligible for uncorking i'd love to know. Thanks!
Add me to the list of S60D's upgraded to S75D that is eligible for the upgrade. My service center confirmed this morning and I'm scheduled to receive the update next Monday. Delivered back in Aug 2016 with AP1 and a VIN ending in 150xxx. This is another data point that seems to suggest it is not the battery but the fuse. This software update is likely to increase the amount of current delivered from the battery to the inverter and it makes sense the fuse would be the limiting factor. While I have read that others suggested the fuse was non-replaceable, it seems odd. I would say it makes sense Tesla would favor upgrading all cars with the higher current fuse first and then perhaps offering the fuse replacement for those willing to pay for the part and labor.
I'm interested to in this info!?But what about the new 90D I bought in late August?

That's odd, the first time I see that part number being mentioned. Nevertheless, as seen, it pretty much has already been confirmed that it does not have anything to do with the battery pack itself, but the fuse and/or wiring harness. Still hoping for an official statement.

You may be right. But there may be a chance that the fuse can be replaced later on "at a cost of course". The following link shows a brake down of the battery pack and displays that the fuse can be replaced:

Another Data Point.
Houston Service Center confirmed my August 2016 built 75D (originally 60D),VIN 151XXX can be performance upgraded......and
By a Service Ranger with a firmware update.

I too have the same part number, 1101082-00-A, software locked 60D. Declined uncorking because it's still a 60D. 195XXX. April 2017 build.
What we need is for those went through the process of 60D to 75D to uncorking, please provide us your battery part number so we can deduce if this variation of the battery pack is uncorkable.
Similarly, those with 60D to 75D or original 75D and declined uncorking, what's your battery part number?
