Vendor Upgrade your Model S/X at 057 Tech - More range, more power!

Upgrade Your Tesla | 057 Technology

I try not to do many "Vendor" posts, but I don't know if I even ever did one for this service we've had for a while. Pretty sure I've just mentioned it a few other places.

Battery upgrades, motor upgrades, charger upgrades, AP1 retrofits, etc.

Posting now as we recently added official support for RWD 100 kWh upgrades to our lineup. 100 kWh packs are pretty much the only ones that haven't had supercharging speeds nerfed in older cars. As a bonus, upgrades don't affect free lifetime supercharging status!

Check out the link above, punch in the last 6 of your VIN. Get pricing right there, pay for and schedule the upgrade (on or after the estimated date shown for the chosen options), and we'll help arrange transport for your car and make it happen!

Automated system only supports VINs up to 2018-ish, so if yours is newer just contact us (link at top of 057tech pages) with your VIN and trim (P85, 70, P90D, etc) and we'll add it to our system so you can get pricing and such. That said, this is currently mostly beneficial to the older S/X vehicles anyway.

Thanks!

Fun note:

A customer who's upgrade from 85->100 late last week drove here from southern California. Took him 6 days to get here, citing slow 85 nerfed supercharging as the main slowdown on his 2500 mile trip.

Got back with the 100 in less than 3 days.

I think I met up with this guy at a supercharger in Kentucky. Had the 100 (no D) on the back, so it certainly caught my eye! Spoke with him for a couple minutes. He was very happy with the Jason and the upgrade!

...the Jason…

Everyone should refer to The Jason with such reverence.

i am really curious to see the charging curve of an upgraded 85 to 100

It'd be pretty much the same as a 2016 100D, give or take a few %.

Very cool. I gotta tell you, I really want a P100 battery for my S70D. Do I NEED it? Not really. But I want it!

We're starting to get upgrades peppered throughout the schedule for over next several months. Will probably need to make an online scheduler at some point...

@wk057 I'm pretty sure you've answered this somewhere but I just want to make sure… after the 100 upgrade will still get normal OTA updates from Tesla, and if I take my car to the service center for anything they will have no reason to suspect I've had any mods done to the battery or computer.

Unless we explicitly specify otherwise, we only do upgrades to what would be considered "standard configurations", as in, the battery would be 100% OEM equipment and everything works as expected after the upgrade. Updates, supercharging, service, etc.

I'll make no claims as to what Tesla will "suspect" or anything on their end, as they change their policies by the moment on all sorts of things. However, we've never had a customer have any issue getting service done on a vehicle we've done a battery upgrade or replacement on, my own vehicles included. They will obviously not honor any remaining battery warranty, but that's it.

What if I wait until my current battery dies? How much more money would it cost, without a good battery in the car?

Depends on what's wrong with the pack. Could be +$2,500, could be +$15,000. No way to know without diagnostics and inspection first.

With no battery at all, I'd probably just decline to do it (although the official terms state +$20,000 in that case...).

Alternatively, if you have an active 057 Battery Extended Service Plan, and the failure of the original pack is covered, then the upgrade pricing stands normally as if your pack hadn't failed if you upgrade at the time of service.

We generally recommend upgrading before a failure, since if you wait until it fails it's more of a hassle all around with transport and other logistics.

If I dropped a 100 into my S75 would I get any power improvements or am I limited by my single motor?

I thought the 100 battery need a stronger subframe to support it. Although, I would to love upgrade my 75 to 100 when the times comes as well.

If it were a dual motor, I assume they’d just use the S100D torque and power settings, so you’d pickup 50kW but not any torque. Those folks might not notice the half second difference in 0-60 and an additional second reduction in the remaining quarter mile.

Your AP1 car is pre DU01 (pre Jun 2017)

I don’t know if you’d get the settings for the S85 coming from an S75. That would add 20kW but lose some torque. Would be cool if you could just add the max power.

I have the model S 70 RWD...true 70 packs out of warranty..:what is the least expensive upgrade?

Technically to a 75, but I wouldn't bother. All prices are on the upgrades site. Just pick the vehicle type and punch in the last 6 of your VIN and it'll price everything we can do for that car.

 

[Wratran]

The upgrade doesn't show up correctly w my vin...it how a 60 pack...th car was swap to 70 by tesla...the battery tag show a true 70 pack...so what the cost to go to a 85

 

[wk057]

70 vs 60 will drop the prices a little, but not super significantly.

Shoot your VIN last 6 and that pack label shot to us (email on the contact page) and can update it in the system.

So what the cost from 70 to 85?

... or we can do it here I suppose! Updated.

So what the cost from 70 to 85?

The cost is different for every vehicle, as the work and parts required are different for every vehicle...
... this is why we have a webpage that quotes costs by VIN.

I won't quote costs here, and I'd request others do the same so as not to confuse folks when they see different numbers for their own vehicles vs something someone posts for theirs. We also change pricing regularly to account for demand and/or availability.
