I believe the answer is yes, people have gotten 8.2 with the all wheel drive and have not seen a power boost nor release notes mentioning it. I think that’s what’s leading to the speculation that its getting a bigger boost outside of this update.

*Dreamy plot twist*: The performance of the LR AWD stays the same. Tesla instead introduces Ludicrous Mode option on this model only for $_k with a 0-60 in 3.8. OTA conversion after purchase. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

Really don't think they go all the way to PD- for lots of reasons. I do think AWD cars get an uncork AFTER they bring a little more power to the P3Ds. AWD cars now hit 4.2 pretty regularly. My guess is we get 3.9 uncork and the P3D gets 3.0 flat sometime before summer.
