After several requests over 5 weeks or so

I just got the exchange your unlimited supercharging for $5000 refund email. Super stoked!! It didn't mention Tesla offering to upgrade the car to PUP in lieu of the $5000 refund btw.

I got the same feeling after a couple of months. I did enjoy the handling of the LR RWD 3 I had before my P3D a little better too but I think that is because of the weight difference. The 4000 pound weight is really pushing it for the Prius like tires on my car. I've got it into a slide a...

I fail to see how the situation is different. After P+ get refunded they didn't pay for the PUP either.

It's looking more and more like Tesla has decided to handle the Elon tweet matter by limiting the "damage" and choosing to interpret his tweet as only applying to 3P+ owners.

I've already explained one of my reasons why previously but I'll do so again. Two main reasons: 1) Everything Tesla told me at the time pointed to a cosmetic upgrade (I could care less about some artificially imposed 155 vs. 145 top speed since I'll never test that out anyway). Tires can be...

Re-read my post I'm on your side on this one. The lower trims I'm referring to are LR RWD and AWD cars.

Let me start by saying I am in the camp that P3D- got screwed (I own one and was very disturbed that my car lost $5000 of value literally the day after I got it back from being in service for 2 weeks to correct several defects). But what you are saying is unreasonable. We paid the extra money...

Yes. I am one of those people that called Tesla to confirm that the $5000 upgrade was a cosmetic upgrade. My biggest concern was that there would be a suspension difference as handling in corners is important to me and they said that they didn't think there was any difference in the...

Exactly. I don't know what all the fuss is about this. Track mode should be made available at no cost for all performance models because... performance. Duh. It should be a moderately priced upgrade for lower trims which would have the knock on effect of generating additional revenue for Tesla.

Exactly. I don't know who these guys are that make claims we will never use track mode outside of the track but they certainly aren't true performance car enthusiasts. Every car I've ever owned I've pushed to it's limits as soon as I get up into the mountains (grew up there). The last thing I...

Put the discussion aside? But isn't that the point of this thread? 100 page thread or bust!

Then you aren't the typical performance minded buyer. My housing development is right next to a country road with a large paved pullout area. Every weekend I can hear guys in their mustangs and challengers out there having their fun. To not be able to get a little loose in the rear when you...

Yea be careful what you wish for. After I told them that waiting 3 months after getting my original VIN dropped (they assigned it to me 3 days before leaving for a 2 week business trip and wouldn't hold it for me) for another VIN was not acceptable to me they "found" a car in a warehouse. I...
