I heard from a friend inside, that higher torque delivery of the MX -100D, beyond the 90D, required some frame stiffness enhancements. Don't know the extent, and if it's P only.

I just received an email from Tesla that my Signature Model X P90DL cannot be upgraded to 100 kWh battery. I ordered the upgrade before taking delivery. I will be looking for a more complete answer as to why and if there is anything that can be done, even with cost.
I wonder how many cars actually can be upgraded, and if any Model X can be upgraded. It's entirely possible that this promise was too much and very few if any will be upgraded.
My Model X was ordered 2016-03-03 and delivered 2016-09-12 in Finland.
So basically Tesla had you take delivery under false pretenses?
They just keep going to new lows, don't they.
The saddest thing is I am not surprised anymore.
If you don't know why there is nothing I can tell you that will convince you.I do have to wonder how @jelloslug could disagree with me over that message. @Hyvätti 's information is very clear.
That said, we of course all hope Tesla changes their word on this.
One of the reasons that I purchased a Tesla was do to the sale pitch ( Yes you can update ).
Tesla’s idea of updating your car is to trade it in on a newer model. I like my S60, my hope was that as I hit 100,000 miles I would be able to UPGRADE to a bigger battery. I can’t see a problem restricting torque or speed. In the long run distance is the important factor and maybe then charging time.
Makes sense. The suspension is calibrated to the weight of the car.At the 2017 Annual meeting someone asked if upgrading the battery was going to be an option, and Elon said it definitely was. He also said that there would be some restrictions on weight, and that the replacement pack would have to be roughly the same weight (at least that's how I interpreted it).
This was my reply from tesla about my Refreshed June 2016 P90DL MS in January
As it currently stands, the P100DL retrofit is 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.Ive emailed them again today for an update and will post the response here when I receive it...
Who or what's the email I should contact to find out if I can upgrade. I have a 2016 MS P90DL refresh.finally got a reply from Tesla on this,
Our vehicle accessories team will be reaching out to eligible customers in the coming months to confirm interest and take down a deposit for battery packs. After that we’ll work to schedule all customers with their preferred service center.
I can confirm that you are on the eligibility list, so we’ll be reaching out directly via phone/email in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, let us know if you have any other questions.

an upgrade is especially appealing due to Tesla's recent acknowledgement that some of packs smaller than 100's will be throttled during supercharging

Thanks
