Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

[DJP31]

So does anyone know how much it costs now to have a 60 unlocked to 75?

I don’t think it’s ever changed from the $2k that’s already been mentioned. It’s an OTA software switch but the uncorking isn’t. You have to have that done at a Service Centre.

There is a check they run on the BMS:

"PT_BMS_ISENSORPROTOCOLNUMBERhas to be greater than 3, in CarLogs.“

Once that check has been run successfully the uncorking takes about an hour or so., but it’s just software changes and reinstalling firmware. The uncorking is free, the $2k is for the battery unlock.

Ok, that's not too bad. If I do end up getting a 60, I'll just drive it home and put the shipping budget to the batt unlock. Wonder if I can get them to do this by delivery... surely I could use all the extra range on a big roadtrip.

Maybe have the original owner do it, just add $2K to the car price. This way you won't have to wait for the ownership transfer to happen (which can take days to weeks) until you can manage your car in your Tesla account. When I did the 60->75 upgrade on one of our cars (a while back), the car updated minutes after the credit card charge was approved.

At this moment, the 60s cannot be upgraded to 75s. The option just isn't there anymore.

What year is your 60? My sales dude said all facelift 60s can be unlocked.

The battery unlock option is gone from my Tesla account too. My mobile service guy is looking into if there’s any way to unlock it now.

Please check back in when you get this sorted out. I hope they haven't changed anything about this just now... since it's just a software unlock, it wouldn't make much sense for Tesla to stop offering this service.

Most likely it's due to the potential battery problems (you know, the ones where the fix decreased range).

When I first purchased my 2016 S 60D the upgrade to 75 price was $9000. Yes that is correct. I waited and within a year paid $2000 for it. One of the times my patience worked out for me

Quick question on uncorking.

I placed an order for a facelift 75D which is advertised as the usual 4.2s 0-60. This would mean it's uncorked but knowing how they operate and mistakes can slip in easily, is there an easy way for me to check and confirm it's indeed uncorked at/before delivery? Any other way apart from driving it and trying to measure a launch?

Wait.....hold the phone .......the bigger story here is you actually placed an order for a model S!!!!!!



As far as checking well you could always call Tesla and ask but we all know how that will go....

Lol, yes, I still can't believe it. I will open a thread with details but a little later. Not much to report so far. 24 hours since ordering and radio silence since.

I know I can ask, but I also know that if I ask 3 people from Tesla (if I get a chance to speak to anyone) I'll get 3 different answers.


Hoping it'll look like their pics of it:

you could connect up with one of the sites that offers you API information like teslafi.com. Once you can see the raw API data of your car you can tell if it's uncorked; I don't recall off the top of my head which config it is but if I wasn't lazy I would search it on this forum ....

Thanks! No idea. Noticed that too. First I thought it was from the weird picture angle but it's definitely not straight. Probably getting ready to fall off

Well, if you planned on removing it they've already given you a hand, if you think of it that way!

Tesla removed the perf variable from the API so you can't check it any more.

oh really ? wow weird .. alllrighty then

After people started complaining about it to Tesla they removed the perf_config variable in a firmware release. Don't know if it was a coincidence or not. I don't know if they brought it back in V10.

AFAIK Tesla advertises all 75D models as 4.2, even if they are not uncorkable.

Now that would not be cool.
