    Because in Track mode it wants to cool the battery, not heat it up. What you want is like a launch control thing where it heats up the battery for max discharge.

    LOL. Probably won't go over well with the wife. This issue is hard enough to explain here; I don't think she will be sympathetic.

    While not ideal, this would be a reasonable solution and would it least give us choice.

    Than post a link instead of an insult? Every google search tells me that CATL or LG makes them for China, not Panasonic.

    The extensive discussion (45+ pages) of 2021 tesla model 3 batteries is here:
    MASTER THREAD: 2021 Model 3 - Charge data, battery discussion etc

    I am not following that thread as I dont really care about the subject, but thats where the discussion is happening. You can likely find out everything TMC currently knows about 2021 model 3 batteries in that thread.

    The really simple answer is there isn't a made in china model 3 performance yet. Paperwork approval happened in early December 2020, with production at giga shanghai for early/middle 2021.

    All model 3 performance models are currently made in Fremont.

    2021 Tesla Model 3 sold in Australia will be made in China | CarAdvice.

    Has anyone checked the motor part numbers on the 2021 performance? Is it still 1120980?

    Might be able to help a little. Image is from Dragy and verified, outside temp 28 degrees F, 2021 M3P. The car had been driven for approximately ten minutes, seat heater on, heater on at 72 degrees, stereo on, 230lb driver, battery around 55-60%.
    As you can see 0-60 with 1ft rollout (same measure Tesla uses) is 3.23.

    You need to take the car apart to see if they use LG or Panasonic batteries. Thanks.

    I imagine just looking at the battery part number is enough. If I recall correctly you can see it from the outside, so shouldn't need taking the car apart.
    Searched up the post for reference:

    Perfect. It is impossible to get 82 kWh in the Model 3 using LG or the LFP cells. It just does not fit.

    Assuming this is sarcasm, the Dragy data is definitely useful. Bjorn recorded at zero to 100kmh at 4.00 at 60SOC and 4.22 at 50SOC for the 2021 versus a 3.68 and 3.71 for the 2019. Not sure if he uses the 1 foot rollout or not.
