I've got it on good word that old 90s will not be upgradeable. The 100 requires changes to the car that have not gone into production yet.

apparently tirerack is willing to sell you some tires for your P100D already.
But right now, only for the S and not the X. Which is weird. Of course when/if Tesla releases a 100 battery it will be available in both models. I think.

This is the worst thread on TMC. can someone please change the title so this click bait can be avoided?

DO you have more you can share on this? At present it seems a bit hard to take at face value.

That's weird. Doesn't make sense with the higher power output of the new XP90D vs "old" SP90D (DragTimes)...maybe somebody did jump the gun on the website or forgot to include the X.
I don't. I don't expect people to believe me, but I live in the area and have friends who know things. I won't really share more than that because I don't want anyone to get in trouble. If I were you, I'd be skeptical too.

Will "new" 90s be upgradable? You mentioned old ones wouldn't...just wondering!
I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if 90s became software limited 100s once they start production on 100s. It probably wouldn't make much sense for them to keep the physical 90 batteries going.

Sounds like a case of badge envy.>)
I don't care what the badge on the truck says, it's what's inside that counts.

Yes there will be. You can swap out your 85/90 pack to a 100 - just as you could the 85 to a 90. But it will be expensive... over 20K.

Do you know something or is it speculation? The reason I ask is because there are several 90kW packs currently in production that cannot be attached to a 'classic' Model S. There is speculation that something changed with the electrical system that incorporates a different connection between the pack and the car.
I'm not soo much worried about upgrading from 90kW to 100kW but I would definitely like the ability to purchase a future pack when the additional power/range becomes worthwhile. One thing I was hoping for in the future was that pack prices would go down with the production of the Model 3. I am hoping to see a much less expensive 120kW pack in 3-5 years.
I think we will see a 120 or 125 pack in a couple of years. There are stories out there that the new packaging for the batteries will improve the energy density of the packs 33-40% over the current density.
A lot of people with older cars will want to upgrade then. Even if an older car can't take the current production pack, they might make a pack that can fit in the legacy cars. Similar to the Roadster battery upgrade program.
The Model 3 will be in full production and they will need assurances the GF has extra production capacity to support such a program before Tesla will do it though.
