Not at all what he wrote. He simply explained his surprise at how quickly the perception of fast acceleration goes away and he even goes on to stating that he believes the same would happen had the car been faster, like the P.

Personally I don't care if someone else got a performance upgrade that I can't get. Granted I live in Europe and there are very few (if any) AWD 980's here so its not like that would be an upgrade path to the Performance anyway. Same for Asia I assume. I would only consider the 990 inferior from...

I don't dislike the Tesla aero caps but I think the Orbital ones look a lot better. I would have liked them in silver, for my white car, but if it ends up being only black then I am fine with that. Backed.

Not a big fan of aftermarket stripes. That having been said I believe the Model 3 can carry them better than a lot of other cars.

I'm experiencing it today as well (6 hours and counting). Had the car for a year now and never saw it before.

You don't put a lion in a dress :-)

I don't know why the hub ring would be an issue but I am interested in learning if there is an issue there. I believe that your rims would fit but I also believe that they don't have sufficient load rating relative to the Tesla guidance. They are rated at 1350 pounds which is roughly 50 pounds...

The two options that are mostly mentioned is either a "+" emblem or a chrome line beneath the Dual Motor text on the trunk (similar to the red performance line). Personally, I would greatly prefer a chrome line since it comes off more subtle and clean. I can't stand the "+" since it looks so...

As mentioned, I am not going into a "you said, I said" discussion. You clearly believe that your homemade logic stands true and, based on your writing, I don't see that you can entertain a broader perspective.

As long as they both are capped it would be pointless.

No, you don't know that, it is speculation. It is possibly correct but there are also other possibilities. I am not getting into a pointless discussion about it since I don't know whether there is any real world difference and you don't know either, despite that you have convinced yourself that...

It won't make a difference for the upgrade you just bought. Your car will be just as fast as any other LR-AWD with the upgrade. The whole 980/990 topic is based around speculation. No one (outside of Tesla anyway) actually knows if there is a real difference between the two. Also, it seems that...

That's in the US, Europe got them when shipping started in February 2019.

You will almost certainly have a 990 if you drive a LR-AWD. The Europeans got these right from the beginning. There are further variants of the 990, I have a B version which is one of the very early models (received it start March 2019). Not sure what the latest variant is but I doubt there is...
