I have never heard of this variant, but called today for a test drive and they had one and offered it to me. 2020 VIN and tax credit. I immediately bought it. I have no doubt it would have been sold within an hour had I not.
I get it Sat and was told it has track mode.
You also get chrome trim and not the black.
It seems good as I didn’t want 20 inch wheels and so love not paying for them.

if you have a 980 than you can assume your car is the same as a stealth with only a software difference
But no reason to assume that Telsa will ever allow you to upgrade the software and if they do someday it definitely won’t be for free
if you have a 990 motor you just have another question / wrinkle on top of above as there is a chance your motor is not capable of the stealth software
Or maybe it is, we don’t know
people would prefer to have the 980 but as of today it does not have any known advantage

Exactly!
That would be my choice in a heartbeat as well, the Stealth over performance, especially for the price difference!
BTW, I am here in Irving as well!
Hello! I originally reserved a LRAWD, white with 19” wheels... I called Tampa sales every day the week before delivery, and found a white 2020 Stealth / Sleeper with 18” aero wheels. So my price difference was only $500. So happy my persistence paid off!

Same. Although I was looking at used P3D+ and ran across a location that had P3D-Stealths in stock. Ordered my H&R Springs, 20"s and tires and RPM Tesla CF spoiler and interior kit. It all arrived a day or so before the car and I still saved thousands.
I ordered my 2018 LR AWD with enhanced autopilot in July 2018. Took delivery September 29, 2018 in Highland Park, IL. Have absolutely loved the car. Best purchase ever. On December 18, 2019 I received email from Tesla saying that because I owned a LR AWD, I could purchase Acceleration Boost. I got really excited, went to my Tesla account online and could not find AB in my upgrade page, only FSD. Called Tesla CS to no avail. It took getting on these forums to have someone point out that I actually own a Stealth Model 3. I admit, there were some hints that I ignored (red line under Dual Motor in app and in car screen; Track Mode (which always looked whited out), but I never paid for a Stealth because I didn’t know it existed until 2 days ago. Makes sense now why I can’t get AB. I now own the fastest P (lighter weight) on the planet. Took me over a year to discover, but I consider myself to be the luckiest guy on earth right now. Exactly the car I wanted-top acceleration, top handling without 20 inch wheels that would have popped on a Chicago pothole and bigger brakes (all the things for a track I’ll never go to). For those who don’t go to the track, the Stealth is the one (if you can find one). Thank you, Tesla, for mine. Extremely grateful!

Congrats on your Stealth! I love mine as well! Curious to what you paid for yours. I know you mention you didn't pay for a Stealth, but how do you know that you didn't pay for it in the end? Was there not a Performance line item in your order agreement? This is the only place I can see where it is mentioned with pricing info. I knew I was getting a stealth when I bought mine, so I am just curious in regard to your case. Congrats again!

I guess they realized that not offering it was throwing away money as many folks wanted a Performance car but the wheels stopped them...
Edit: it's like the original Performance ordering, if you don't get the 20" wheels etc you have only 18 as option, boo!

Yeah, you pay the same amount, and get none of the good stuff. The sales tactic I understand, but almost like they are trying to fool people. Just get all the good stuff, and sell it. You can make up to $4k for the wheels and spoiler.
I also noticed the range dropped a bit for the P3D+
