Tesla to begin Model S, X P90DL to P100D performance upgrade on eligible cars

More than a year after Tesla first introduced its flagship Model S and Model X P100D, and offered P90DL owners the opportunity to transform their cars to “WorldÂ’s quickest production car” status, the California-based electric car maker is finally making good on its promise on the performance upgrade.

“Tesla customers who have ordered a P90D Ludicrous, but not taken delivery, can upgrade to the 100 kWh pack for $10,000. Existing P90D Ludicrous owners can also upgrade to a 100 kWh pack, but for $20,000, as their used 90 kWh pack will have to be recycled.” said Tesla in a blog post from August 2016.

Now, fourteen months later, Tesla P90DL owners are reporting service appointments being made for the 90 kWh to 100 kWh performance battery pack upgrade, with first installs taking place as early as next week.

Tech_Guy who first discovered Tesla’s performance-limiting algorithm, something the company would later remove through an over-the-air software update, is unsurprisingly first in line for the P90DL to P100D upgrade.

The following invoice shows a line item for a 100 kWh battery pack upgrade with part number 1135371-00-A. The upgrade is being made available to select P90DL vehicles that are equipped with the revised front fascia, air suspension and battery packÂ’s that have the proper connector (Tesla is known to make several battery revisions for the same vehicle model, sometimes requiring different hardware between packs).

The performance retrofit is priced at $20,000 for P90DL owners that have already taken delivery of the vehicle when the upgrade announcement was first made.

Beyond the increase in battery capacity from 90 kWh to 100 kWh, and addition of Ludicrous plus mode, the upgrade package will also replace the P90DL’s “next gen seats” with current production premium seats that have been crash tested with the more powerful 100 kWh battery pack.

The communication by Tesla serves as relief to anxious buyers of the performance upgrade, many of whom were placed on an interest list for nearly a year, and initially told that the retrofit was yet to be released. “We are diligently working on it, but no release date is currently available. You remain on the interest list, hence you will be contacted as soon as details become available.” said Tesla in Jan of 2017.

Tesla did not provide reasons for the year-long delay, but one can speculate that it had to do with the initial production shortfall of the companyÂ’s largest 100 kWh battery pack. CEO Elon Musk noted in October 2016 during a companyÂ’s earnings call that the 100 kWh battery production line was one of his top three priorities. All the while, the company would continue to dump its inventory of Model S and X P90D vehicles, before finally discontinuing the 90 kWh battery pack and P90DL variant, thus making the P100D with Ludicrous+ its highest performing model.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
