Got the same offer to transfer super charging. Even though my 2016MS just went out of warranty, I have free supercharging (use it maybe once a month), free connectivity, and parking sensors. I only pay for Spotify, but that's my choice. Fairly cheap/easy car to have. While this is a much...

As my story tells, I went round and round with several people that simply pleaded ignorance or failed to acknowledge my issue. It was the not-so-subtle threat of legal action via consumer protection laws that knocked the door down. I hope you find someone in Tesla that is willing to take up...

Here's the synopsis of my "success" saga: My 75D advertised at 4.2 seconds (uncorked), but config variable (now no longer accessible) and testing showed corked (5.2 seconds) Contacted sales rep, local dealership, and Tesla support where I faced confusion (uncorking? never heard of it)...

Keep at it and send certified letters to the dealership and Tesla corporate. This is what broke the dam/log jam for me. See my earlier posts about what I wrote in terms of violation of the state's consumer protection laws. You can also message me directly if needed.

Glad to bring awareness and discussion to existing and future Tesla owners. Cucubits, your journey didn't seem that rough and I'm glad they made you whole - you are completely right about that sour taste... that feeling of being duped or ripped off, and powerless to do anything about it. I...

Tesla support can do one or all of the following: They can check the VIN to see if the vehicle is capable of being uncorked. This was my case and I have the email stating the my VIN is listed as being capable. They can remotely look at the hardware in the vehicle to see if it is capable. This...

What Krash said, you use to have a p_config setting you could access that would indicate corked vs. uncorked. I think we created such a stir with this that they simply removed it from view so that people like you are left in ignorance. The BEST and FIRST thing I did was contact Tesla support...

Finally got around to some test runs this evening to verify my uncorking. Results: As you can imagine, I am quite please with the results and satisfied with the outcome of my efforts to make Tesla own up to their advertising. It took months and I feel like it was worth it. Thanks to...

Just picked up my 75D a few hours ago. I asked "I assume the uncorking went as planned?" to which the service rep replied "The technician stated that the procedure went as planned". My car only had 20% charge when I picked it up which would diminish the power available to test the uncorking...

Today is uncorking day. They need the car for the entire day, and maybe through the weekend. I have a loaner as a result. I hope this puts an end to my uncorking journey.

Had my appointment Tuesday and once again was ready to have my car uncorked, along with some other stuff. Here's what else I had done: Replaced my 3rd gen floor mats with 4th gen. Probably a known issue somewhere here on the forums where the velcro pads lose their adhesion to the bottom of...

My appointment was suppose to be now, but I was contacted late yesterday to reschedule because all of the parts won't be in until Friday. The Saga continues into next week. According to the service ticket, this is the part that will "fix" my uncorking issue: Field Kit Pyro Fuse Pack 2.0...

I ended up using Teslemetry for my test runs since I had already purchased it. I found a flat side-road in a nearby office park. I first did a run in "Chill" mode: Corked, 0-60 Chill Mode by NetRat posted Aug 23, 2019 at 11:15 PM Next I did two runs in Standard mode and got the same result...

Thanks. I will download it over the weekend and give it a go.

My diligence might have paid off. I received a call from the shop supervisor at the Tesla service center in Baltimore. He asked if I received his email, and i said I hadn't yet, but checked and I had gotten an email from him: We would like to schedule you to come back in for service. It...

Latest Update... I contacted the Maryland Attorney General's office, Consumer Protection Division about my case. At their request, I sent letters to Tesla's Baltimore, MD location, and their headquarters in Palo Alto, CA. Each was sent via certified mail and is below. I have yet to receive...

Battery near 100%? Also, is that GPS-based? If so, you're probably dealing with the GPS lag/error that can account for a few tenths of a second. There's a lot of debate on this, but I think it's error prone just when you look at how GPS on your phone works. Teslemetry I think is the best...

Awesome to hear! Enjoy those extra G's on take off!

OldSchool, thanks for your reply. Most certainly if I had purchased the vehicle without expectation of this performance characteristic, I would not take issue with Tesla. What they did with uncorking was both generous and remarkable and if it were something I really wanted, I would need to...

The one question you need to definitively answer is: How do I prove there is a difference in range that lead to the false advertising? Finding internet posts are one thing, but you will need something more scientific to hold in any litigation. Said differently, you need to research, document...

I certainly understand the first miles with higher consumption, but as you see I averaged 310 Wh/mi for my trips, and am able to get under 300 for some (as you see on the top line). My car doesn't have sentry mode and I keep it in my garage overnight. Over the course of 48 hours, what would...

I've had my CPO MS75D for almost 2 months now. During the service visit several weeks back, I asked about range and battery usage. They talked to me about it and noted in the service write-up as "customer education". Here's what I see and I need help understanding if this is a problem or not...

I completely understand your point, but i's not always about a matter of worth. If you look at the two previous lawsuits, in one, Tesla fixed the issue rather than just settling, and in the false advertising case (the one that most directly aligns with my issue) it was a considerable cash...

Latest update... I started pursuing the litigation path by first researching what's already been done in order to establish precedence and to level-set my own expectations. The first stop was the Norway class action as noted above. Next was what I found in Owner Sues Tesla for Model S That...

At any point along the way did you have to sign something that binds you to their ruling, thus preventing you from pursuing any litigation if ruled in their favor?

Just checked and damn if they didn't!!! I have not gotten the upgrade but my journey to uncorking started over a month ago and I have been keeping documents ever since. I wonder someone in their legal department caught wind and is trying to bat cleanup on this issue by hiding the evidence...

The main issue is that my battery is revision A. Does this seem correct? A 2016 75D with a revision A battery? Where would I lookup to find when the Model S vehicles went on to revision B, C and so forth?

I really do appreciate all the feedback, including opinions on the matter. Presenting them with what I realistically want is a good idea, and I am not sure how many people I have to go through to get anywhere with this. The 4.2 seconds IS a big deal for me since it was a primary criteria for...

Here's the latest update a week later. I haven't heard a thing, so I decided to call the California sales rep to ask where this was. He looked something up in his system to see that nothing has been done and said he was going to escalate to his management. I doubt this will result in anything...

I too am interested in how these tires perform on the Teslas compared to OEM or any others. I ran two sets of Contintentals on my previous car - Acura TL. First set were the ExtremeContact DWS, and the second the PureContact. I loved them both since they really balanced ride comfort, noise...

Latest update... About an hour after my customer service call, my sales rep from California called me (I had thought about calling him, but had lost his contact number and hadn't spoke to him since a few days before my delivery date). He saw the message from the customer service woman and...

After not hearing from Tesla in several days (expected) I contacted Tesla Customer Services. The woman I talked to was very calm and knowledgeable. I started by explaining my issue and asked "do you know what the term 'uncorking' means" and she immediately replied "yes, the 75D's". This...

Firstly, I completely applaud Tesla for it's superb use of the deming cycle. Their continuous improvement process far exceed anything ever done in the auto industry by incorporating the improvements once realized and tested (compared to all other auto manufactures that gather and package the...

According to the "sticker" inside the door of my car: 04/16. According to EV-CPO (Original Delivery Date): 2016-09-03 Title Record: 2016-10-24 It's fairly obvious the first one is the most important (04/16).

Service appointment today for airbag recall, replace noisy battery fan(s), and get the missing cup holder dividers for the center console. Here's how it went 9:00am - arrived and they had me in the system for my appointment. I then mentioned to the service tech about the uncorking. He asked...

More fuel for the fire... Thank you for contacting us with your question about whether or not your vehicle is "uncorked". Your vehicle is included in the Model S vehicles that were "uncorked" last year. There is not a way for you to verify that your vehicle had the update but a technician at...

Thanks everyone for the quick replies and offers to help. I very quickly found the post for the other user that is experiencing the exact same issue. Now, hopefully, the two of us can work collectively on having Tesla fix their tremendous mistake. I LOVE my "new" Tesla and all the smart people...

I am having the EXACT same issue and just posted about it. I will PM you so we can put our heads together on how we can get Tesla to make us whole.

I started my Tesla path late last year in doing research, talking to people, and learning as much as I could. I pulled the trigger 1 month ago on a CPO 2016 Model S 75D in red with the facelift - beautiful car in fantastic condition!! I took delivery almost 3 weeks ago and have had some...
