The video does a better job explaining it.

It's basically a software update that unlocked (Tesla uses the term uncorked) more power (about 20%) from certain 2016 Model S 75Ds .

Hard to believe that was over 7 years ago and that Tesla didn't charge for it. Completely free upgrade.

Just giving an update - 2022 Polestar2 was returned today; picked up 2024 Ioniq 5 SEL (RWD) yesterday. Thanks to Amirza, Bit and Dave for sharing your experience about this car. In the end the primary driver selected this over the MY. One thing for sure, never going back to ICE.

(SoCal winter is nicer than this car - Huntington Beach Pier in the background)

Congrats 👏 Beautiful car! Today I had our Ioniq 5, switched with the wife who had to drop our son back to his apartment in Berkeley. Great choice 👍

Was just behind this, thought of you. Not crazy about this color but these things look just killer.


They look like a regular SUV, albeit very modern. That’s what I like about them.

Seeing plenty of reports of 10K/15K and even up to 20K additional dealer markup on the ID.Buzz.

As much as I really like these and may very well get one, it's not the best value at MSRP, and there's no way I'd entertain 10K to 20K above MSRP...

That's my exact config I was between this Forest Green or the Rivian Blue and had to go with the green.

I love the green looks awesome on the Rivian. Green doesn't look good on any Tesla IMO.
