Performance Plus (+) Upgrade

[BrokerDon]

Hmmm....

I'm not so sure this "Additional vehicle information" screen is a relliable indicator since our March 2015 built P85D came with the Plus suspension according to the label on the front shock and table below:

I wouldn’t expect it to show up as we have unicorns due to Tesla just using up the old Plus inventory?

I don’t know if you are referring to early P85Ds as unicorns, but my 2014 P85D (Now P90D) definitely recognizes the plus suspension in this menu.

Cool! I just don’t recall anyone with our era of cars ever seeing the plus suspension called out officially. Def not on my Monroney sticker.

First I gotta find that menu...

So if your + car isn't showing the "Plus" on that screen, I suspect it's going off the option codes embedded in the car. You can see earlier in this thread that not all P85D+ cars had the PX01 option code, even though they all have the hardware pre-May 2015.

But all P85+ cars should have that option code embedded.

Can the Tesla Service Center "correct" my P85D+ suspension designation to "Plus" to reflect the PX01 Option Code like they "corrected" my P85D+ to Ludicrous... and "corrected" my Turbines to Arachnids after they completed these upgrades?

Arachnid wheels (originally displayed Turbines):

Ludicrous (originally Insane which had no underline):

They should be able to, yes. Just tell them to change PX00 to PX01. But don't quote me on that.

Thanks!

I added it to my Tesla Service Center "punch list" the next time it needs service... which is rare.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Hey! I said don't quote me!

HA HA

I definitely won't quote you. Your secret is safe with me. Us "Plus Suspension" guys gotta support each other !!!

And you have the + on the back of the car so it must be a plus.

And

you know you can change the wheel avatar yourself now?

Yes... but that wasn't an option when I got my Arachnids.

My “Additional info” screen does indeed show that I have the Plus suspension!

Model S 90D born in April 2016. On information screen suspension type shows “Plus”. How, why???
Looking for multiple ways to verify what suspension does this car have. Is it a hybrid build out of whatever was in stock?

 

[Doanster1]

Pretty dirty to make out clearly, but it doesn’t look like it shows FDSS. Looks like FDM to me. Can you wipe off the dirt and see if the PN is 1030608? I kinda see the 608, but can’t make out first four numbers. Also, I don’t recall anyone confirming a non-Pcar having the plus suspension.

 

[HankLloydRight]

It's not the Perf+ suspension, sorry.

First, the P+ suspension is more than the FDSS airshocks. So I don't think that "Air Suspension: Plus" means Performance+ suspension.

Second, as @Doanster1 said, the part number is FDM (see below)

. Is it a hybrid build out of whatever was in stock?

April, 2016 was a year after the Perf+ era ended. There's no way they had a one-off set of P+ parts laying around to randomly throw into a car.

What’s the meaning of “Plus” suspension type on this 90D than? Everybody else has “Standard”, which brings me back to + era.

I really don’t know, but I’m sure it’s not the Performance+ suspension. If I had to guess, it’s a revised air shock.

must just be a coding mistake. As broker don shows above his is definitely plus but shows as standard. I am pretty sure it certainly wouldn’t be high on the priority list to remedy whatever vin coding Tesla is using to show this and correct the issue.
