Weird, did they give you a reason? Is yours a P90D?I looked into the upgrade, my car isn’t a candidate. JGDixon our cars are only a few days apart! Both sig red with similar 6 seaters.

Yes it is, with Ludicrous upgrade. Bummer.Weird, did they give you a reason? Is yours a P90D?
Not usually. Unlike the 100 series which has one battery, the 90 series has dozens of part numbers and those two are always listed differently.May be a bit off topic, but does anyone know that the battery pack of P90DL and 90D are the same?
I asked my friend the same question for my 90D. He's an engineer by training and works for Tesla. He said a battery pack replacement would also require a software update.
I figure Tesla will not offer this option due to money. It makes more sense to sell you a new car. But I believe down the road, as EV's become more popular, aftermarket services will proliferate. So maybe wk057 would offer the software update but then would you possibly have to give up supercharging, LTE etc if Tesla were to ban aftermarket software?
Informally/generically I was told by service that my P90D non-L could be upgraded for $30k which I interpreted to be the original $10k for the L and the published $20k for the bigger battery. I think the X’s already have the upgraded seats, that was an issue for some Ss before the X was shipping. Didn’t Elon say something about not having good value in a 10-15% upgrade but a better deal would be when a +35% move was available, in this case more like a 120kWh battery? When S and X are getting this much battery they will probably not be retrofittable. I’d rather have more batteries on my wall than in my car right now anyway.
You don't have to give up supercharging or LTE access but you do lose firmware updates past the one wk057 installs (he disables/blocks updates because your hardware doesn't match what Tesla thinks you have and an update would brick the car).
Basically the best way to to it is wait for AP1 or AP2 whichever you have to stabilize to a point that you have little to no complaints and possibly wait for warranty to expire on the car and then have wk057 install the new pack you want.
At some point there won't be any more updates of consequence for AP1 cars and they'll all be out of warranty. Those will be the prime customers for wk057.
AP2 cars have more potential software updates to wait on.
Jason - What about selling/installing two extra 75 modules in a 75 to make an 85? Is that considered on odd config or can you code that to keep updates?If the battery pack is compatible, then you don't lose anything. If it's an odd config, like trying to make a RWD P100 or P90, then yeah you'll lose updates...

Does anyone know what the parameters are for the upgrade? I have a P90DL, 12/15 Founders addition with type A bat and would be interested in the upgrade. Also a point of contact would be helpful as I am striking out with my local Service Center.
