There have been several posts here recently suggesting that they've been uncorked entirely OTA. It's true back when the upgrade was first announced, you had to go in and have it done in person.
Long and short of it is, if your VIN isn't on the list, your battery pack needs an updated pyrofuse to be uncorkable. This requires dropping the pack to replace, so Tesla's response to people asking has generally been "no".
However, at least one person in your situation (bought used car advertised as 4.2 0-60) fought and after some threats convinced them to do the right thing and make the necessary hardware changes to uncork it.
This thread is what you should be reading if you haven't already found it:
2016 75D - CPO with a major heart-wrenching issue
not OTA, but mine was done by a ranger in my garage.
They use the internet connection from their laptop...so no they don't need wifi access but they do need a data connection which they take care of all of that. They will not need to connect to your wifi unless they have zero connection using their own equipment...ive used rangers 4 times over the years and they have never used my wifi or my work wifiDo rangers need sufficient access to wifi in order to perform the update? Have one coming out this week.
Welcome to Tesla!!!I recently bought a September 2016 75d (originally a 60d) (VIN 153937) and scheduled an appointment with my nearest Service Center. They kept it for 3 days...only to tell me that it was NOT eligible for uncorking at this time.
Before buying the car, I called Tesla & provided the VIN to confirm eligibility, but was told that nothing could be shared with me since I didn’t own the car yet. I then did a lot of research online (and reviewed that Google Sheets list) and felt comfortable that my car would be eligible...and once my Service Center appointment was accepted, I saw that as a good sign. According to the Service Center, they tried but couldn’t get it to “take” so they escalated it...but no dice. Not eligible at this time.
What a kick in the nuts.

Nah, mine’s a June ‘16, uncorked. It’s been awhile since I went through all that nonsense, but I recall rule of thumb being if you had dual motors and a facelift you were good.September is a fairly early example... it's not incredibly surprising that it might not have the updated pyrofuse necessary to uncork.
Welcome to Tesla!!!

I think both cars are uncorkable, but especially a December 2016....I have a December 2016 75D...
That's what I was thinking too. I figured I'd add on the request every time I have to go to the service center. Hopefully I have a good update next week.I think both cars are uncorkable, but especially a December 2016.
I’ll try another SC and see if they can glue & duct tape my broken dreams back together.
I have a service appt scheduled for next week. It's mainly for MCU2 + radio upgrade, but i tossed an Uncorking Request in there as well. I had been told my car was ineligible during a prior service visit. I'm going to the same Service Center again, so we'll see what they say, as well as if I can dig into why my car is ineligible. I have a December 2016 75D (may have been a 60D originally, but can't seem to confirm)
Not really, I actually had to delay my appointment by a week due to the MCU2 parts not being there yet. Supposedly the parts are scheduled to arrive on 02/09, so i moved my appointment to that day. I didn't see the uncorking on my service estimate, but I called the Service Center and the adviser said he sees something in "the notes" (whatever that is) to see if my car could be uncorked.Did you have any luck?
I have a Remote Service appointment in the morning to address my airbag light. Meanwhile, I asked another SC if they could uncork me, and they responded saying they added this request to my existing mobile appointment. In looking at the Service Estimate just now, the uncorking is noted as “Correction: Remote - Education”. I assume this means they’re going to educate me on the fact that my car is ineligible. We’ll see.
